`` I never knew you had lost a child , '' said the other ; `` if I should lose my baby I believe I would go insane . '' `` Oh , no , you would n't ; you would do just as every one else does ; you 'd go on and suffer . But the men that can be with their families seven days in the week ought to thank their God every hour of the day . '' `` I travel a good deal by team , '' said a third , `` and am frequently driving as late as 10 or 11 o'clock at night . As I go along the road and see the light shining out of the windows , and see family groups in their homes , gathered around the lamp , I tell you , boys , I get homesick . It 's the time of day I want to be at home with my family . I envy every man I see in such a home , and I contrast his condition , surrounded with his wife and children , and a long night of rest before him , with my work .
