The Halo of Home.
( lur higher and purer pleasures begin with the home, and these do not fade w ith the changing years, but sweeten and ripen to the end. Love is the first sweet gift of life, the first joy the infant feels when it nestles near the mother’s heart, and the last j »y *ule as, w ith the hand of a loved one in ours, we pass into the great unseen; nay, then it does not fade, but is only made immortal. How enriching and ennobling is the influence of spirit on spirit among—- “ Those We love 'He dear relations of our heart." A true marriage is not merely a matter of the flesh; it is a union of souls, a Mending of kindred natures made one for ever. It is on this union that the suncti-
ties of home are built. There we arc met on our return from daily toil with- “ Those sunshine looks Wli oac lieams would dim a thousand days. There our sorrows are divided and our joys are doubled. There our pathway has been strewn, a* with spring Mowers.
