( 346 ) 
-Rouse to some work of high and holy love. 
And thou an angel’s happiness shalt know, 
Shalt bless the earth while in the world above; 
The good begun by thee shall onward flow 
In many a branching stream, and wider grow; 
The seed, that, in these few and fleeting hours, 
Thy hands unspairing and unwearied sow, 
■Shall declc thy grave ivith amaranthine flowers 
And yield the fruits divine in Heaven’s immortal bowers. 
—Carlos Wilcox. 
True happiness, if understood, 
''Consists alone in doing good. 
-— Anon. 
HAPPINESS—DOMESTIC. 
Domestic happiness, thou only bliss 
Of Paradise that hast survived the fall! 
Though few now taste thee, unimpaired and pure. 
Or, tasting, long enjoy thee, too infirm 
Or too incautious to preserve thy sweets 
Unmixed with drops of bitters, which neglect 
Or temper sheds into thy crystal cup. 
— Cowper. 
HEALTH. 
Nor love nor honor, wealth nor power. 
Can give the heart a cheerful hour, 
When health is lost. Be timely wise; 
With health all taste of pleasure flies. 
— Anon. 
HOME.* 
The first sure symptoms of a mind in health. 
Is rest of heart, and pleasure felt at home. 
— Young. 
Sweet is the smile of home; the mutual look, 
When hearts are of each other svyre; 
Sweet all the joys that crowd the household nook, 
The haunt of all affections pure. 
■— Keble.
