PATRIOTISM.

Thus every good his native * wilds impart, » Imprints the patriot passion on his heart, And even those ills that round his mansion rise Enhance the bliss his scanty fund supplies. \ Dear is that shed to which hie / soul conforms And dear that hill which lifts him to the storms . And, as a child, when scaring sounds molest. Clings close and closer to the mother’s breast, * Bo the loud torrent and tbe whir* winds roar, But bind him to his native mountains more.

-Oliver Goldsmith.
