What two words can be found more expressive of happiness than these—Going home?” Bright amijes, bright tears and tender Taptures, and ali the luxury of ‘household Sreedom—the release from the stiffness and sirain on muscle ér on mind, more or less imposed upon ‘us by the presence of criticising or ready-to-take-ad- Vanlage-of-us strangers, all Me in those words, Now weare “going home,” we may put by our studied dignity, ow necessary reserve, take tho affable bat artificial smile from our lips, cease ta, Alter our thoughts trough sucn a restrained Tuedinm of speech, and say with Lear, “Orloff! ye Jendings,”’ The magic jouch of home rests on us like [thuel’s spear, aud we are our own natural, simple, easy, comfortable selves again. But if the picture be thas always attractive what must it be to the WAR-WORN SOLDIER, coming back from danger, privation and the fierce exeitement of the batiletleld; coming fom the corpse-poisoned air of the land of atrife into tne sweet, pure rogm, where it may be his littic ones are sleeping or where @ teuder mother’s heart beats only for his return? What must the going home be tohim? One of those bright, insulated bits of joy thai come here and there iu 2 man’s life and seem hardly to belong to the mixed bitter aad sweet of or- inary times—one of those moments which are abe sorbed with an abstract sease of bliss, like the litte clouds ‘hat sometimes on brilliant days foat near the Sun and are swallowed up in the lfuiness of his lignt.
