SAMUEL ROGERS. •**» ' • * Lovers conceal their faults from each other, and deceive themselves—friends confess their faults to one another, and pardon them mutually. ***** Were half the power, that fills the world with terror, Were half the wealth” bestowed on camps and courts, Given to redeem the human mind from error, There were no need of arsenals nor forts. H. W. LONGFELLOW.
