e stand, by dividing we fall. _The Liberty Song_ (1768). J. DICKINSON. HAPPINESS. Fixed to no spot is Happiness sincere: 'Tis nowhere to be found, or ev'ry where; 'Tis never to be bought, but always free. _Essay on Man, Epistle IV_. A. POPE. We're charmed with distant views of happiness, But near approaches make the prospect less. _Against Enjoyment_. T. YALDEN. For it stirs the blood in an old man's heart: And makes his pulses fly, To catch the thrill of a happy voice, And the light of a pleasant eye. _Saturday Afternoon_. N.P. WILLIS.

Some place the bliss in action, some in ease, Those call it pleasure, and contentment these. _Essay on Man, Epistle IV_. A. POPE. The spider's most attenuated thread Is cord, is cable, to man's tender tie On earthly bliss; it breaks at every breeze. _Night Thoughts, Night I_. DR. E. YOUNG.

There is an evening twilight of the heart, When its wild passion-waves are lulled to rest. _Twilight_. F-G. HALLECK. Worse than a bloody hand is a bloody heart. _The Cenci, Act_ v. _Sc. 2_. P.B. SHELLEY. Who, for the poor renown of being smart, Would leave a sting within a brother's heart? _Love of Fame, Satire II_. DR. E. YOUNG. Nor peace nor ease the heart can know, Which, like the needle true, Turns at the touch of joy or woe, But, turning, trembles too. _A Prayer for Indifference_. MRS. F.M. GREVILLE. Here the heart May give a useful lesson to the head, And Learning wiser grow without his books. _The Task: Winter Walk at Noon_. W. COWPER. My hea
