HOME Is WHERE THE HEART Is.

'Tis Home where'er the heart is,
Where'er its loved ones dwell,
In cities or in cottages,
Thronged haunts or messy dell;
The hearts a rover ever,
And thus on wave and vile,
The maiden with her lover walks,
The mother with her child.
IT'S bright where's the heart is;
Its fairy spells can bring
Fresh fountains to the wilderness,
And to the desert-spring.
There are green isles in each ocean,
Der which affection glides;
And haven on each sunny shore,
When Loves the star that guides.
IT'S free where'er the heart is;
Nor chains, nor dungeon dim,
May check the minds aspirings,
The spirits pealing hymn!
The heart gives life its beauty,
Its glory and is power
'Tis sunlight to its ripping stream,
Aud soft dew to its flower.

Come, let us trip it lightly, love,
Where Flora's sweets are blending;
The moon is beaning brightly, love,
With starry lamps attending,
The grove and hill, the mead and ril,
Have charms that must delight thee,
Then let US haste, their sweets to taste,
While zephyr's sighs invite thee,
An hour like this imparts bliss
To souls Of kindred feeling,
A pure delight, sereney bright,
Along the pulses stealing.
The evening star is peeping, love,
From yonder paer cluster,
The CLASSY lake is sleeping, love,
Enrich'd with borrowed ustre;
The babbling brook, with brighter look,
Meanders through the dingle;
And chirping notes, from insect throats,
In tuneless measures minge.
An hour like this, which makes TO bliss
The heart Of meaner creatures,
Must surely light a smile as bright
On loves expressive features.

which are short, easy of performance, and appro-

Handel Haydn Society collection of church mu-
sic, choral harmony, &c.
The object has been to supply choirs, at the
lowest possible cost, with large number of inter-
esting easy and useful anthems, and pieces, cal
culated for public worship, for concerts and pri-
vate practice.
A portion Of the work has been devoted to
chants. There is no singing more simple and tru-
ly devotional than this and it is to be regretted
that its performance should be so exceedingly lin
tied. The plan of writing out the Chants to mea-
sured notes, has been adopted to some extent prn-
cipalIy for the that it renders the execution
much easier to choirs uninstructed in this style of
singing. Could our worshpping assemblages once
be made to feel the effect of chanting, it is believ
ed that il would soon come into use to a very con-
siderable extent
Economy has been an obect-it is believed that
