THE STRANGERS HEART.
BY MRS. HEMANs.

BY MRS. HEMANs.
The Strangers heart oh, wound it not
A yearning anguish is its lot
In the green shadow OF thy tree
The stranger finds no rest with thee.
Thou thinkst the vines low rustling leaves
Glad music round thy household caves
To him that sound hath sorrows tone
The strangers heart is with his own.
Thou thinkst thy children's laughing play
A lovely sight at fall OF day;
Then are the strangers thoughts opprest-
His mothers voice comes per his breast.
Thou tbinkst it sweet when friend to friend
Beneath one roof in prayer may blend
Then doth the strangers eye grow dim
Far, far are those who prayed with him.
Thy hearth, thy home, Thy vintage land
The voices of thy kindred band
oh, midst them all when blest thou art,
Deal gently with the strangers heart.

but it is less so than it would have been.
seventy years ago: to anticipate what has
now come to pass, that the common travel
ling from London to Edinburgh would be
forty-six hours. At the opening of the rail-
road near Darlington, in 1926, train of
loaded carriages was dragged by one little
steam-engine distance oftwenty miles
within two hours; and, in some parts of the
Journey, the speed was more than twenty
miles an hour. The whole load was equal
to regiment of soldiers, and the coal ex-
pended was under the value of crown.
An island with such roads would be an inn
pregnable fortress for in less time than an
enemy would require. to disembark on any
part of the coast, the forces of the country
might be concentrated to defend it.
