the charm of home is destroyed, since our children, educated in distant seminaries, are strangers in the paternal mansion ; and our servants, like mere machines , move on their mercenary track without feeling or exciting one kind or generous sentiment.
Alas !  the charm of home is destroyed, since our children, educated in distant seminaries, are strangers in the paternal mansion ; and our servants, like mere machines , move on their mercenary track without feeling or exciting one kind or generous sentiment.  Home, thus despoiled of all its charms, is no longer the scene of any enjoyments but such as wealth can purchase.
