DOMESTIC HAPPINESS.
The little daughter"* step Is ilsht,
Her vole© Is very low r.n<l sweet;
AnJ O. she Is a pretty sight
When, evening come, bhe runs to greet
I hold her fondly In my arms,
Ilcr lips press close upon my choclt
She hath a thousand dainty charms
That do with silent beauty speak.
The boy comes boarlns rich wild llowera,
The mother waits beside the door
In quiet pass the evening hours.
Tbo grateful heart could ask no more.
The baby has a war ship dread.
With sails of white and rudder bluft;
lie has a wagon painted red.
As light to draw as fair to view;
A splnnlnc-top, a bat ami ball:
A sawdust cat without a claw
Yet should I doze he leaves them all
To tickle pipa with a straw.
Such simple Joys as those content
Thr longings <>f a gentle mind.
Love 1111s the life that so Ls >p< ut;
Love's ties our past and future bind.

servant was come they all "began to
make excuse." The Greek word is the

Seven Kind* Were Distributed as Rewards
of Valor.
The Romans had various kinds of
crowns which they distributed as re-
wards for martial exploits and extaor-
dinary services on behalf of the repub-
lic.
1. The oval crown, made of myrtle,
and bestowed on generals who were en-
titled to the honors of the "lesser tri«
umph," called ovation.
2. The naval or rostral crown, com-
posed of a circle of gold with orna-
ments representing "beaks" of ships,
and given to the captain who first grap-
who first boarded
3. The crown known in Latin as
"Vallaris Castrensis," u circle of gold
raised with jewels or palisades, the
reward of the general who first forced
the enemy's in trench ments.
4. The mural crown, a circle of gold
indented and embattled, given to the
warrior who first mounted the wall of
a besieged place and successfully
lodged a standard or flag thereon.

branch of a green oak), a garland of
