all delusive, for sorrows would come,
Oh, 'tis home where the heart is, where the heart is 'tis home.

SECOND VERSE.

I've courted the breath of a balm southern clime,
Where sweetest of flow'rs, soft tendrils entwine;
Have listed the song bird's notes borne on the air,
That wakens and wafts the rich odors elsewhere;
As tones on the ear so the dream of the past,
Softly plays round the heart-green isle of the waste;
Yes! 'twas all a life-dream, and still 'tis not gone,
Oh, 'tis home where the heart is, where the heart is 'tis home.

THIRD VERSE.

I've cross'd the blue sea, I've sought out a home
In the land of the free, freedom beckon'd me come;
And friends of the stranger have sooth'd the sad heart,
With kindness and sympathy, sweet balm for the smart;
The light of the soul, doth play round it still,
Like the perfume the urn, in which roses distil;
Thoughts of affection forbid me to roam,
Oh, 'tis home where the heart is, where the heart is 'tis home.

REVIEW OF NEW BOOKS.

_Hawkstone: A Tale of and for England in 184-. New
York: Standford & Swords. 2 vols. 12mo._

We were attracted to this novel by seeing the words "fifth edition" on
its title page. After reading it, it is easy to account for its
popularity. It is at once a most exciting romance and a defence of an
unpopular religious body. The author (said to be Professor Sewall,)
belongs to the Oxford School of Episcopalians, or to adopt his own
view of the matter, to the one Catholic church. The object of the
novel is to present the ideas of Church and State held by that class
of religionists who are vulgarly called Puseyites. This is done partly
in the representation of character and narration of incident, which
constitute the romance of the book, and partly by long theological
conversations which occur between a few of the characters. The
interest of the work never flags, and it is among the few religious
novels which are not positive bores to all classes of readers. In
respect to its theology, it gives the most distinct view of the
doctrines of the High Church party of Oxford which we have seen. The
author is as decisive and bitter in his condemnation of Romanism as of
dissent. He considers that the peculiar doctrines and claims which
distinguish the Roman Catholic church from the Church of England are
_novelties_, unknown to the true church of the apostles and the
fathers
