Tomatoes, strawberries and popcorn grows and parades And breaks within, a mor bid spell. Harmony, the soul of life, within; Guards truth with a steady hand; Directs the way, to free dom's kin, And a brighter path, to a better land. The mystic waves may lash in vain And beat again, forsooth; But love divine and stately truth, Heals discord and soothes the pain. The Home, a symbol of eter nal rest. What more can we say? The storms may beat, with in the nest; As the fledglings devoutly pray. That king of the forest sup plies the shade When returning from hill and glade. There nature has so beau tifully supplied, The most lovely spot, it could betide. When on his trestle board He draws his last design; And his working tools are heard. To drop from his weary hands, benign. Hiram's working tool3, now laid away But shall work again, an other day, In the realm of harmony, supreme When no discord can inter vene. "T Mamaroneck, X.

When we remove the remains cf a loved one from the shelter of the private horns, it must be to a place where the same reverent, dignified atmosphere is main tained.
