A Happy Home Defined


Six things are requisite to create a happy home.

Integrity must be the architect, and

Tidiness the upholsterer.

It must be warmed by affection, and

Lightened up with cheerfulness, and

Industry must be the ventilator,

renewing the atmosphere and bringing in refreshment day by day;

While over all, as a protecting canopy and glory,

Nothing will suffice except the blessings of God.
