Our beloved Brother Simeon Newton, and his little daughter Mary, This Volume is affectionately inscribed. Make your home a little Eden; Imitate her smiling bowers; Let a neat and simple cottage, Stand among bright trees and flowers. Here a simple vine-clad arbor Brightens through each summer day. There each heart will rest contented, Memories of that pleasant home. Such a home makes man the better- Home with pure and bright surroundings Entered according to Act of Congress, in the year 1972, by in the Office of the Librarian of Congress, at Washington.
