ere's little pleasure in the house when our gudeman's awa'. --_W. J. Mickle._ 886 How many fine, well furnished and pretentious houses we now see around us, occupied and owned by successful people, in which there is hardly a market-basket full of books! Evidently showing that the material is of more importance than the intellectual. --_Observer._ 887 We neglect the things which are placed before our eyes, and regardless of what is within our reach, we pursue whatever is remote. This is frequently and properly applied to the rage for visiting foreign countries, in those who are absolutely unacquainted with their own. Abroad to see wonders the traveler goes, And neglects the fine things which lie under his nose. 888 A man without a home is like a bird without a nest. 889 Many a home is nothing but a furnished house. 890 ONE'S OWN HOME. Travel is instructive and pleasant, but after all there is nothing so enjoyable as the independence and the luxury of one's own home. Travel is pleasant, but home is delightful! 891 Without hearts, there is no home. --_Byron._ 892 A man unconnected is at home everywhere; unless he may be said to be at home nowhere. --_Dr. Sam'l Johnson._ 893 HOME--DEVOID OF LOVE. He enter'd in his house--his home no more, For without hearts there is no home--and felt The solitude of passing his own door Without a welcome. --_Byron._ 894 Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home. --_Payne._ 895 THAT LAND THY COUNTRY. There is a land, of every land the pride, Beloved by Heaven o'er all the world beside; Where brighter suns dispense serener light, And milder moons emparadise the night;-- There is a spot of earth supremely blest, A dearer, sweeter spot than all the rest Where man, creation's tyrant, casts aside His sword and sceptre, pageantry and pride, While in his softened looks benignly blend The sire, the son, the husband, brother, friend;-- "Where shall that land, that spot of earth, be found?" Art thou a man?--a patriot?--look around!
