Preface.
5
The evening fair, he walks with uncovered head around his garden—enters again, and retires to rest; and 'the rest of the laboring man is sweet, whether he eat little or much.'" So we send this volume to be a companion for the evening hour, like the voices of his children, to cheer the weary laboring at night, believing all its readers will find it pure in morals, elevating in its tone, cheerful and hopeful in its disposition, and reverent in all its views of God—a transcript of home, sweet home.
