HOME.


Ecest thou my home It's where yon woods are
waving
In their dark richness to the sunny air;
Where yon blue stream a thousand hower-banks
LAYING,
Leads down the Hill a vein of hght-'ts there.
Midst these green haunts how many spring lies
cleaning,
Fringed with the violet colored with the skies
My boyhood's haunts, through days of summer
dreamings,
Under young leaves that shook with melodies!
NV home-the spirit of its love is eathng
In every wind that plays across my track;
From its white walls the very tendrls wreathing
Seem with soft links to draw the wanderer back.
There am loved There prayed for! There my
mother
Sits by the hearth, with meekly thoughtful eye !
There my young sisters watch to greet their broth
Soon their glad footsteps down the path would
fly
There, in sweet strains Of kindred music blending,
All the home voices meet at days decline;
Cas are those tones, as from one heart ascending
There laughs my homeland, stranger, where is
thine?
Ask where the earths departed have their dwell
ling,
Ask Of the clouds, the stars. the trackless air
/ know it not, yet trust the whisper telling
My lonely heart, that love unchanged is therel
And what is home and where, but with the liv-
ingi
Happy thou art, that so canst gaze on thine!
Ny spirit feels, but in its weary rowing,
That with the dead, where'er they be--is mine
Go to thy home, rejoicing son and brother,
Bear in fresh gladness, to the household scene
For me, too, watch the sister and the mother,
Twill believe-but dark seas roll between.
LOVE SWEET LOVE. Dumfries poet Of the
last age thus celebrated the charms of his mistress
o, honey it is very sweet
But sugar it is sweeter,
And my love as far excels sugar
AS sugar does saltpetre.

TINE. 1t is very remarkable that God who
giveth plenteously to all creatures, and hath
scattered the armament plenteously with stars
as a man sows corn in his fields in multitude
greater than the capacity of human order; he
hath made SO much variety of creatures, and
give us a great choice Of meats and drinks, al
though any one of both kinds would have sery-
ed our needs; and so in all instances OF nature !;
yet in the distribution Of time, God seems to be
straight-handed, and gives it to us not as ma
ture gives us rivers, enough to drown us, but
drop by drop, minute after minute, SO that we
can never have two minutes together, but he
takes away one while he gives another This
should teach us to value our time, since God so
values it, and by so small distribution Of it, tells
US it is the most precious thing we have.
