See the conquering hero comes,
Sound the trumpet, beat the drums.
Orations of Joshua. T. MORELL.
The man that is not moved at what he reads,
That takes not fire at their heroic deeds,
Unworthy of the blessings of the brave,
Is base in kind, and born to be a slave.

Of paradise that has survived the fall!

Is rest of heart, and pleasure felt at home.
Night Thoughts, Night VIII. DR. E. YOUNG.
To make a happy fireside clime
To weans and wife,

Of human life.

Is nothing but a prison of larger room.
To the Bishop of Lincoln. A. COWLEY.
His native home deep imaged in his soul.
Odyssey, Bk. XIII. HOMER. Trans. of POPE.
Stay, stay at home, my heart, and rest;
Home-keeping hearts are happiest,
For those that wander they know not where
Are full of trouble and full of care;
To stay at home is best.
Song. H.W. LONGFELLOW.
His home, the spot of earth supremely blest,
A dearer, sweeter spot than all the rest.
