Yet far be it from our ideas to believe that no patriotism can exist unless most
Herculean feats be performed . Even in youth , man may begin his lesson of
selfdenial ; for a selfish man cannot possibly be a patriot , and no young man
need be so ...

Page 79 - ... life, life cannot see, Darts onward to eternity! While vacant hours of beauty roll Their magic o'er some yielded soul, Ah ! little do the happy guess, The sum of human wretchedness ; Or dream, amid the soft farewell That Time of them is taking, How frequent moans the funeral knell, What noble hearts are breaking, While myriads to their tombs descend, Without a mourner, creed, or friend!

HAPPINESS OF HUMBLE LIFE.
