At last tin* old nursery is vacant. Father and mother sit again tilAne at the dining table as they once did when they them selves were bride and groom. The old homestead is deserted save by the oid folks. The text is a tragedy. The mother did not sleep much last night. Though she tries to look cheer ful. her eyes are red from weeping. Every little while she disappears into the pantry or goes up stairs. She makes an excuse its though she was looking for something. We know she been drifting around for thirteen long years, with its crew unable to raise a hand, utter a sound or furl a sail. The f:'r country is the land of sin. when* the inhabitants are <1< ad to God. They are dead in their desire to make out of themselves what Christ would have made them. They are dead to 'plritmil love. They are so dead that they will not hear tlie Divine Father’s voice calling them back to tlie heavenly homestead. A Word to Yon ok Men. Though the far country of sin may lie anywhere, yet it is always a great d.s | lame away from ill • lireside of a Chris tian Lome.

It is y ur duty to know where your younger son passes his nights. A Homely lllimtrntlnn. Tlie far country is the place where the younger son spent ids all.

He is banding the young trav eler some letters of introduction to a prominent merchant with whom the son will lodge in the next town. A noise is ut the gate. Servants are bringing out the horses and strapping the baggage upon the pack mules. They talk In subdued whispers. Even they feel sorry. The young “master" was a happy. Jolly go lucky boy. He always had a kind word for the bos tiers. The only happy creature this morning is the dog. He frisks and barks about, expecting to follow tin* sportsmen for a week’s hunt. His hi larity is stopped, gome one shies a stone at the brute and shouts. “Go baek to the barn.” Slowly the dog turns. His lowered bead and tail are the canine signs of abject woe. He stops now and then, expecting to hear tlie familiar huntsman's halloo. Her imps lie realizes for the flrst time he is taking a last look of farewell. 1 al ways did think that a bright dog was sianrtcr than a stupid man. The farewell words are now being said. The father gives his benedic tion. We must turn our heads away. Tlie mother is having her last convul sive clasp. These are tlie snapping of the heartstrings. A mother rarely re alizes that the baby she onee rocked in a cradle can grow into a man. He is always her boy. Suddenly the young man breaks away. lie leaps into tlie saddle. The spurs eut deep. Parents and friends shout their farewell to tlie cavalcade. Then they wave and throw kisses. The old father wipes his face vigorously with a handkerchief. He ] scolds the servants.

Poor fools, said I. tiiose swine do not know tlie farmer is leading them into a slaughter house, where they are to be killed.” After the benediction this aristocratic lady turned to her son and said: “Was not that illustration about the swine awful? Think of a minis ter's using such a figure in tlie Chris tian pulpit.” “Mother,” answered the young man. “I do not know whether Mr. Hill had a rigid to use that illus tration or not in a church.
