HOME. 



If ever Peace with gentle wing, 

 ' Visits our cold and cloudy clime, 

 Or stoops, her radient lines to fling 



Upon the stormy shores of time, 

 Surely her light and gentle feet. 



A timid ilove delight to roam. 

 Where hearts with hearts in union meet. 



Among the quiet scenes of home. 



If ever Joy, in robes of light. 



To bless the bowed and weary one. 

 Comes downward through the long, long night 



Of sorrow, from her sun-lit throne — 

 Where can her resting-place be found 1 



Her pure and stuiidess spirit come. 

 But in the sympathies around. 



And to the blessed holds of home ? 



If ever Love, the first, the best, 



The sweetest dream to mortals given. 

 One little spot of Earth has dress'd 



With dews, and rays and flowers of Heaven ; 

 It is that spot of verdant green, 



Where Virtue and her handmaids come. 

 To deck with simple charms the scene 



And bless the holy haunts of Home. 



If ever Hope, that to the heart. 



Is as the sunshine to the flower. 

 Comes to the spirit to impart. 



Her sweetest and her freshest power, 

 'Tis when pale Sorrow waves her shroud. 



The tlarkest in I>Ife*s vaulted dome. 

 And sweetly beams upon the cloud. 



Her rainbow promise pointing home. 



Lord Bolingbroke and Sir Robert Walpole. 

 — The history of these two distinguished men 

 possesses n sort of romantic iutefcst, which might 

 suit very v/ell (if it has not ah-eady served) for the 

 groii lid work of a fiction. Th(\v weie nearly of 

 ttie same age, and their original position in life, 

 whicl) both left far behind, was pretty equal. The 

 animosity which shook empires, is said to liave 

 commenced at Eton School, where the emiiryo 

 statesmen were rivals. Perhaps St. John's mind 

 was not of itself suited to be long tenanted by 

 vindictive feelings, liad not ceaseless irritation and 

 <lisa|)pointment fed tiiem ; but the undying hatred 

 of Walpole, even when his enemy was at his feet, 

 kept their enmity alive to the end ; the one thnn- 

 <Iering from ' his place ' in the House of Commons, 

 where he reigned with undisputed power — the 

 other obliged to reply from the vulgar arena of 

 the press, but with a vigor whicli forced him be- 

 fore the world, as prominent in his genius, as his 

 enemy was in his station. They were, in many 

 respects, men of far opposite characters. Wal- 

 pole, the great master of figures, [lossessed an iin- 

 wearie<l application to business, a shrewdness in 

 discerning the clearest way through the sea of 

 politics before him, and a pertinacity in following 

 it, which enaiiled him to hold the helm unrivalled 

 longer than any other British .statesman. Wd 

 hear nothing from his admirers of grand bursts of 

 eloquence, of richness in illustration, or quickness 

 of repartee; but the speeches which have come 

 down to us show a steady, well supported elo- 



quence, and a clear business-like application to 

 the |ii)int under discussion. 



W;i!|>n'e had a profound knowledge of the hu- 

 man hi'art, of which, however, he generally saw 

 best the ilarker portions. His passions, especially 

 the bad ones, it is easy to believe, were strong ; 

 but he kept them nn(Ter powerful checks, when 

 he felt 'M:,t their indulgence would recoil upon 

 hiinsel!'. it is needless to observe how much Bo- 

 iii,;'r'.';y differeil in his character from all this, 

 ir liu ir rivalry at school was of a literary nature, 

 Bolingbroke must have been greatly the superior. 

 His knowledge of the French language was so far 

 beyond that generally possessed at the period, that 

 he was considered the only man connected with 

 the ministry, capable of superintending the details 

 of the Treaty of Utrecht. Walpole, on the oilier 

 hand, was by his son's admission, so ignorant of 

 modern languages, that his intercourse with the 

 sovereign was conducted in bad Latin. Boling- 

 broke, although it is easy to see that the legitiinute 

 path of his mind was that of jjolitical ambition, 

 iiad accustomed it to excursions in so many direc- 

 tions, that when ignominiously driven from his 

 more congenial course, he could find old compan- 

 ions in his solitude — the great ancient masters of 

 reflection, who soothed his disappointment, and 

 so far entertained his thoughts, that he could fan- 

 cy himself like them, a voluntary exile from the 

 cares and bitterness of statesmanship. Walpole, 

 to the last, had clung to his power with a convul- 

 sive grasp, and when shaken free, retired to his 

 mansion and his unnoticed pictures, sullen and 

 morose, a prey to dejection, and instead of being 

 soothed by literature, holding it in contemi)t. — 

 Tlieir morality, as it appeared before the world, 

 was curiously distinct. Bolingbroke's assumed 

 a lofty disinterested air, which does not belong to 

 human nature at all, and was far too startling a 

 contrast with the conduct of its author. Walpole 

 was, at least, candid. Independence and political 

 integrity he held in supreme contempt, and as he 

 had established to himself no philosophy of mo- 

 rality to relieve his practice, be never concealed 

 his practice. He was a sheer merchant in gov- 

 ernment — every tuing was to be bought and 

 sold Cooke's Memoirs of Lord Bolingbroke.

An old country gentleman, who seldom wan- 

 ders from liis native bowers further than a day's 

 hunting , or shooting takes liim, lately came to 

 London to pay his respects to a noble relative of 

 his ; when he was complimented by being put in 

 the best bed. The enormous height of his couch 

 not a little alarmed the old gentleman, and it was 

 some time before his man could get him safely 

 loilged between the sheets. 



' What o'clock would you like to get up, Sir? ' 

 asked John, on retiring. 



' Get up ! ' exclaimed the squire, ' get doion, you 

 mean ; and once safely on my legs, if ever I get 

 in this bed again, may I be bed-ridden all my life.' 



The calm and jiatient researches of Newton 

 and Locke have conferred fur more lasting benefits 

 upon mankind, than all the achievements of all 

 the mere heroes and conquerors of ancituit or 

 modern times. One patriot, like Epaminondas, 

 Scipio, or Washington, outweighs a host of Ale.x- 

 anders, Caisars and Najioleons.
