HOSPITALITY.

Accipite hospitium, neve ignorate Latinos Gentem Saturni, non vinclo aut legibus aequam, Spout° sua, veterisque Dot se more gerentem. —zloneid, VII., 202-205.

STRANGER, our gates are open wide, Come in and frankly share

All that our willing bands provide, Taste of our daily fare.

Misread us not ; we lean on God, His very sons are we ;

This very earth His footsteps trod, He made it ours in fee.

Not bound are we by legal chain, But of our glad accord Freely we give and count it gain;
