"HEAVEN AND HOME. " [To THE EDITOR OF THE "SPECTATOR."] SIE,—As

some of your readers may be curious to know the source of the two-lined quotation inscribed by her Majesty the Queen on the card attached to the floral tribute she sent to Hatfield for Lord Salisbury's funeral, may I be permitted to say that the lines were written, years ago, by the present Bishop of Durham, Dr. Moule P The quatrain from which the quotation is made runs as follows (it is headed "Heaven and Home ") :— "What joys are lost, what hopes are given, As thro' this death-struck world we roam.

We dream awhile that Home is Heaven; We find at length that Heaven is Home."

Marlow.
