THE HOMES OF ENGLAND. 



BY MRS. HEMANS. 

 riip stalely Homos of Kugland, 



How benulifiil they starn! '. 

 Amidst their tall ancestral trees, 



O'er all the pleasant land 1 

 f be deer across their green-sward boiimi, 



Through shade and sunny gleam ; 

 And the swan glides past them v/ith Uie soi 



Of some rejoicing slre.im. 



The merry Homes of Knglan.l 1 



Around their hearths by night 

 What gladsome looks of household lovr 



Meet in the ruddy liglit : 

 There woman's Toice flows fortli i;i soi:;; 



Or childhood's tale is told ; 

 Or lips move tunefully alor.j; 



Some glorious page of oid. 



The blesred Homes of Filmland '. 



How softly on tlicir bowers 

 Is laid the holy quietness 



That breathes from irabbath-hours; 

 r^o!emn, jet sweet, the chRVcli-hell's c!:ni ■■ 



P'loats through their woods at morn : 

 \H other sounds, in that still time, 



Of breeze and leaf are born. 



The Coltage-Homrs of Kr.gland : 



By thousands, on her plains, 

 They are smiling o'er the silvery brook;. 



And round the hamlet fanes. 

 Through glowing orchards forth thev p(< i. 



£a.cb from its nook of leaves, 

 And fearless there they lowly sleep, 



As the bird beneath their eaves. 



The free, fair Homes of England : 



Long, long, in hut and hall, 

 "^lay hearts of native proof t>e rcar'd. 



To guard each hallow'd wall I 

 And green for ever be the groves, 



And bright the flowery sod, 

 Where first the child's glad spirit lovrs 



Its Country and its God ! 



] Coquette. — A Coquette is a female character n^ 

 less contemptible than odious; against thejniquily 

 I of which Iih- Gisburiio, in his excellent treatise 

 i " On the duties of the Female So.\" cautions his 

 ' readers in the following descriptive and impvos- 

 i sive terms. " To delude a young man by encoiir- 

 ; aging Ins .nttentions for the pleasure of cxliibiting 

 I him as ;i conquest, for the purpose of e.x'oiting the 

 'assiduities of another person, or from any motive 

 I oxcei)t the impulse of mutual regard, is a proceed- 

 I ing too plainly repugnant to justice, and to delica- 

 i cy of sentiment to require much observation. On 

 'such subjects, even inadvcrtance is higlily culpa- 

 ble, what then is the guilt of her, wlio deliberate- 

 i iy raises hope.s which she is resolved not to fulfil !" 



From Cartei-'s Letters from Em oj)<:. 



j FEMALES IN ITALV. 



! The country was all in bloom, and the flowery 

 plains exhibited a variety of landscape which can 



' hardly be conceived in less sunny climes. But the 

 inhabilants are miserable, and know not how to 

 appreciate or improve the munificence of nature. 

 We actually saw females harnessed like cattle to 

 the plougli, and dragging it tlirough the light soil, 

 while a man was lounging in the furrow, guiding 

 the share ! Woman, poor woman, is here emphat- 

 ically degraded into the drudge of life, and it makes 



i tl>e heart bleed to witness the burdens she is often 

 coinpolled to bear. There is no afTectation nor 

 sentimentality in this. It is plain, downright matter 

 of fact, vi-hich stares the traveller in the face, at 

 every step of his-progress through Italy. 



MrLKI.VG GOATS IN ITALV. 



I A scene entirely now afforded us not a little a- 

 I musemcnt. It v.'tia a goatherd milking his flock 

 and penning them for the niglit. The animals 

 knew their keeper, and walked up to him one after 

 another to have their udders drained, and then 

 marched into the fold without bidding. Not one 

 offered to go, before the process of milking was 

 completed. The flock seemed quite as intelligent 

 ' as the shepherd. A group of poor villagers stood 

 [ round with their little mugs, ready to purchase the 

 milk rit a penny a pint. Such is a rural scene in 

 ' Calabria. Hov/ different frorn tlie extensive farm 

 ; yards, the fifty cows, the rosy cheeked lasses, and 

 the foaming pails of our own country ! 



Idleness is tlie hot-bed of temptation, the cradle 

 of disease, and the canker worm of felicity. In a 

 little time, to the man who has no employment, 

 life will have no novelty, and when novelty is laid 

 in the grave, the funeral of comfort will enter the 

 church yard. From that moment it is the shade, 

 and not the man, who creeps along the path of 

 mortality. On the contrary, what solid satisfac- 

 tion does the man of diligence possess ? What 

 health in his countenance .' What strength in his 

 limbs ? What vigor in his understanding ? With 

 what a zest does he relish the refreshments of the 

 day ? With what pleasure docs he seek the bed 

 of repose at night ? It is not the accidental hard- 

 ness of a pillow that can make him unhappy, and 

 rob him of sleep. He earns his maintenance and 

 he enjoys it. He has faithfully labored in the day, 

 and the slumbers of the night are a sweet retribu- 

 tion to him. To the diligent man every day is a 

 little life, and every night is a little heaven. The 

 toil has been honest, and the reward is snre. 



.Icqvuinianr.e. — Enter not into a large circle of 

 acquaintance, for thereby you set open a gate to 

 invaders, wlio will plunder you of time, the most 

 valuable article of wliich you can bo possessed. 



Frequent, long, needless, and unimproving visits 

 serve merely to murder time, which ought to be 

 diligently employed. 



If you invite any one to your house, shew him a 

 friendly behaviour and an open countenance ; it 

 is a flagrant sin against the laws of hospitaliSv to 

 open your door, yet shut out benignity. 



Three days of uninterrupted company in a 

 vehicle will make you better acquainted with an- 

 other than one hour's conversation with him every 

 day for 3 years. — Lavater.
