indispuable facts than the folio wing, which we

not OF decided party cast, but which is rather
opposed than Otherwise to the Wing party We

ME.

On Home the scenes Of home,
Where all my Joys abide,
In whatsoever land / roam,
From momory's cayems glide.
When on my couch lay
Untouched by drowsy sleep,
And storm-winds howl, and lightnings play
High up pall'd heavens steep;
Then all my loneliness
Deep thickons round my soul,
Aud all my drenms of happiness
On starless occens roll.
Oh home the scenes of home
Where mourn my rife and child!
When sable night, on obon throne,
Lulls me in slumber mild,
oh then the scenes Of home
In midnight visions teen:
MY sorrows 20, my loved ones come,
In contrast deep, supreme.
oh home the scenes Of home
At morn when vision flies,
Sad parting scenes before mo roam,
And hope within me dies.
Hope dies, but lives again
AT night, as visions come
In recollcction's holy train,
Of home, my own dear home.
All! drear will be that hour
lay me down to die,
When damps of death around me lower
No friendly footstep nigh
of hope no cheering ray,
That friends my dying breath
viii bear, to loved ones far away,
Oh close my eyes in death. w.
