Though few there be who find i t ! Wo aeek too high for things close by, And lose what nature found us ; For life hath here no charms so dear, As home and friends around us! We oft destroy thc’ prescnt joy For future hopes— and praise them ; While flowers as sweet bloom at our feet, If we but stoop to raise them ; For things afar still sweetest are When youth’s bright hopes has bound us, But soon we’re taught that Earth hath naught, Like home and friends around us. The friends that speed, in time of need, When hope’s last reed is shaken, That show us still, that come what will, We are not qhite forsaken— Though all were night: if but the light Of friendship’s altar crowued us, ’ Twould prove the bliss of earth were this — Our home and friends home arouud u s!

The groom with his bride has departed, To journey far off in strange lands, And the mother cries out broken-hearted, " Well, I ’m glad thatgal'« off my bauds.” This is the latest stylo of talk by young can didates for matrimony : I ’d offer thee this hand of mine, If thou but hadst the dimes; llut purses short and slim as thino Won’ t do for these hard times.
