CRABBE-The Borough. Letter XVII.

His heart was in his work, and the heart
Giveth grace unto every Art.

Ship. Line 7.
Something the heart must have to cherish,
Must love, and joy, and sorrow learn;
Something with passion clasp, or perish,
And in itself to ashes burn.

LONGFELLOW-Hyperion. Bk. II.
Introduction.

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.
aa. LONGFELLOW-Song.

Eye hath not seen it, my gentle boy!
Ear hath not heard its deep songs of joy;
Dreams can not picture a world so fair-
Sorrow and death may not enter there;
Time doth not breathe on its fadeless bloom,
For beyond the clouds, and beyond the
tomb,

It is there, it is there my child!
m. Mrs. HEMANS-The Better Land.

There is a land where beauty cannot fade,
Nor sorrow dim the eye;

Where true love shall not droop nor be dismayed,

And none shall ever die.

n.

MARY HOWITT-Song of Margaret.

Attempt not to fathom the secrets of heaven, But gratefully use what to thee is here given; For none have returned from that realm of bliss,

To tell how those fared who have prayed much in this.

Father cardinal, I have heard you say, That we shall see and know our friends in heaven:

If that be true, I shall see my boy again; For, since the birth of Cain, the first male child,

To him that did but yesterday suspire, There was not such a gracious creature born.

Where God is, all agree.
