Outside the moon's rays on the crisp enow show al thous- and miniature diamonds scintillating in the light, and seemingly intent upon rivalling the luminous stars overhead. The cattle and horses are long ago fed and fastened in their comfortable stalls, and the neatness and order about the barns and skeds betokens a careful hand and watchful eye. The smoke from the .chimneys of the old farm -house curls upward. Mae and NV hite, and floating lazily off, dissolves in the I clear Inaide the heuee the scene is very invit- ing. The fire leaps and sparkles in the old fireplace, throwing•its rosy; gleams to the farthest, corner of the room.Here, as out of doors, are :-ieus of neatness anel care. The small table drawn up before the fire contains current numbers of the best mag- azines, and souse late newspapers, while a few books, religious and scieneific, tell that the inmates of this home have taken some _time to cultivate their minds, while provid- ing for the comfort ef their bodies. On either side of the table are the farmer and his wife, each in their own easy chair, for the work of the day is over, and this is the time fer quit and rest. His cheek is yet ruddy, though his haie shows many a thread of ; and while his face is seamed, yet they are all kindly lines, and 'do not destroy its benevolent expression. His wife sitting opposite is not knitting. The little souks and stockings were_all knit and worn out years ago ; but the paper in her lap and the glasses lying upon the table. show that she has been engaged in reading. Now hea hands are reposing- idly upon the paper, while her eyes are fixed upon the •:gIowing coals with a far away look, which ehows it is not the fire she is studying. Her hair has been very dark and abundant, but like her husband's, it, toe, shows signs of the flight of years, although her eyes are still bright; and the peaceful expreesion in her face shows that her work has been well .done, and that she is approaching a content- ed old. age. Of what does she think as she sits there to -night? Perhaps it is of the time wIwn there were little faces clustered before the fire. little heads in her lap, and tittle feet lingering by her side. • The baby's cradle Otood here where she could jog it eonvon- iently should .any sudden ,noise disturb ts occupant, while on the apposite side of t e table the chubby youngest frolicked with the -father, or cuddled Snugly in his ex a while he sang songs sweeter than any th y remember to have heard in alter years.

There were later pictu es—for life mov s like a panorama—one s ene passing wh le another comes into view. There is the sa e room; but the boys nd girls are tar er now. They sit at the table with their bo cs and games, and there lathe sound of me y -- voices and the chatter of merry tongs. There are no dissentiw Ons, for the 'laof kindness obtains in the home, and h one's welfare is the care Of the others. • is is a happy time. They are all here, boys and girls. But they cannot stay, the sicene shifts. They; are men and women now. S with homes of their own, and all indep n ent of the old home. 'There were no " bl k sheep" in this flock. The boys grew e good and true ; to love God and their fe yr men under the old roof; the girls to be i duserious, earnest and dutiful, and t o e parents always thank God for kind and a ectiona,te children, who are a comfort El d a blessing to them.

Long may they live to LIV ome • the children, • when they come ba o the old home, and to enjoy the fruit heir labors. . • The Newsboy's Version.
