"LETTERS FROM HOME," Letters from my father's household |-

Ialed midst the surrounding sea !.. Bwift-winged messengers of gladness,

Bearing rest and peace to me! -Father's calm and sacred counsel,

Mother's lurgo and shining tears, And my sister's, brimming foelinge Finng to me across the spheres?

O the dear and loving letters! -

O my childhood's thronging dreams! O the ancient, low-roofed cottage,

Wth its quaint old vaken beams! O the haunts among the meadows,

And the moss-grown garden seat, Where the scented apple-blossome Swept in wares about my feet.

And I sit and mise upon it, "Till I seem to see it.all;. See the rich grape's purple clusters Drooping from the leafy well; Boo the mellow peach a ripening,

Breathe the breath of blessed flowers, Watch the steady house-clock marking

All the pulses of the hours.

Father's hair is growing whiter;

Mother's stop is feebler now;

But the old seraphic beauty

Lingers yet of her moek brow; And the low sweet tones that thrilled me,

And the lips I used to press-

O the years can never win them

From their holy tenderness.

And the flashing eyes of laughter,

And the speech of merry scorn, And the rippling auburn ringlets

Of our household's youngest born-- Very gently they have deepened To the glory and the grace Of a tranquil maiden, moving

Thoughtfully amid the place.

Letters from my father's household;

Taled midet the surrounding son; Swift-winged messengers of gladness Bearing rest and peace to me! Let the foaming world tear onward-

Let the sinless children play, And the young bride clasp her husband--

This accounts for the fact that in all the newspaper reports M. Gambetta's second was apparently a Frebobman.
