The subjoined florid rhapsody upon Home,
comes from some heart-warm New Englander,
whose abode IS now in the far distant West
The paragraph we have selected evinces, ,.by it's
subdued tenderness, that it was penned in one of
those periods which all persons of sensibty have
at some time or other of their lives experienced.
when, as popular German author has beautifully
expressed it, I'VE pass lives for little space
in a sort of dreamy brooding: we 90 over the
past and the future-all we have felt and suffer-
|ed-until, by the mixture of so many colors, one
misty gray tint overspreads the whole, and at
length the dissonances of life all melt away into
one fond and dim remembrance
"HOME.
"WHAT is home? A magic word-a sound
that falls upon the ear like the strain Of lte. as
it is borne out OH the still evening air. What Is
home? Ask the mariner, as he rocks upon the
tossed deep. His time-worn brow softens-his
bosom heaves with the rush of,vouthful thoughts.

blend together, and he tells You '7Hcrer-and

farewell rays of the departed sun, hangs far in

the place of his birth, he is in an instant there

On earth, not been s'alone.''
But Thus to see. from day to day,

And watch thy life-sands waste away,

And feel, III be ttalone.''
To mark thy strength each hour decay,
And yet thy hopes grow stronger,
As filed with heavenward trust. they saw.
