DEFINITIONS OF HOME.

A PRIZE was offered some time ago by the London “Tit-Bits” for the best answer to the question, “What is Home?” Here are a few of the answers which were received:
“A world of strife shut out, a world of love shut in.”
“Home is the blossom of which heaven is the fruit.”
“The golden setting, in which the brightest jewel is ‘mother.’”
“The father's kingdom, the children's paradise, the mother's world.”
“The center of our affections, around which our heart's best wishes twine.”
“The jewel-casket containing the most precious of all jewels, domestic happiness.”
“A little hollow scooped out of the windy hill of the world, where we can be shielded from its cares and annoyances.”—Selected.
