[i- roui the Southern thri.-t -it Advocate.] THE LITTLE ORPHAN GIRL. Written by a little Sunday School girl, and spoken at the Camp Ground Sabbath School, Cobb county, and published by request. When I was only three years old, My parents went away To Eastern Texas, I am told, Expecting there to stay. They left their home in Georgia here, And all their friends so kind. And went away to distant lands A richer soil to find. Two years we passed together there, But a sad change did come, Father enlisted in the war, „ And went away from home. Mother and I were left at home With brother and sister too, So far away from all our friends We knew not what to do. But when our kind grand-father heard, That we were left alone, lie came and brought us back to dwell With him at his own home. We had not very long been there, Some months perhaps I’ll say, When father came back from the war A little while to stay. But soon he went away again, And oh, how sad to tell! For when he parted with us then, He took Iris last farewell. He had not long been absent when The sad, sad, news did come, That he was dead, and buried too, Far, far-away from home. At Yorktown, in Virginia, there Among the many brave, He died away from all he loved, And found a soldier’s grave. My brother, sister and myself, Were all so sad and lone, And our own dear mother too Was left to weep and mourn. But here our grief was not to end ; When a few short months passed by, Heath came again, and we are told, That mother, too, must die. I well remember what she said, Before she went away, When she was on her dying bed, I often heard her pray. She told us she was going home, She could not long be here, To us again she could not come But we could go to her. Father now lies beneath the ground, And mother, too, is gone, And we are little orphans left, All in the world alone. I want to go where mother is, To heaven when I die ; To live with her in that bright world Above the starry sky. A widow lady at Danville, Ky., took an orphan boy to raise,when quite small, and when he arrived at the age of 18 she married him, she then being in her 50th year. They lived many years together, as happy as any other people. Ten years ago they took an orphan girl to raise.— Last fall the old lady died, being ninety six years of age, and in seven weeks after the old man married the girl they had raised, he being 68 years old and she 18.
