FATHER, mother, sister, brother, All are here in union dear;There was never such another Place as home for quiet cheer. Higher, higher streams the fire; Shadows fall against the wall;While we, in our warm attire, Heedless list the tempests call. Rain and sleet may rudely beat,Storm sprites shout aloud without; We are safe in our retreat,And may laugh to hear the rout. Those there are who do not share, As do we, prosperity;Fit apparel, plenteous fare,7 Are what many never see. On a night so full of fright, How shall these stern Want appease,Cold and hunger put to flight, And like us take merry ease ?

You may be sure youwill by and by be able to understand them, andsee their use, too, if you persevere. It is neverwise to complain that your lessons are hard tolearn, and wish you didnt have to go to ; the best plan is to love your books and loveyour school. Never say, I cant get my les-son ; and when you hear any of your school-mates say so, answer them with, / can, and Iwill. I shall have to study hard, I know; butIm good for it. Yes, be resolute;
