And by its base, sed ui-rive power, | ffthe., houseless, forc’d in sun and shower j rr poor wife’s dower— A mother’s all ! £* * . x - A . Then roofless, mid the cold World's storms, Her homeless children's sbiv’ring forms Resign-themselves unto her nrrai To meet the blast. Poor mother ! what a weight Wars'! How weak her arm ! ho tv great her cares ! How long? she ask 9, in earnest prayers, Must this scene last? Tho’ friendless in that trying hour, When storm-winds bent the whiter flotver, There whisper’d from a mightier power These words of cheer: “Arise! and gel thee hence away— For I, thro’out thy dreary way, Thy light by night and cloud by day, Thou needst uot fear.’’ Then like the Virgin Dante of yore, She took her babes and scanty store, And, trav’ling over mound and moots Deign'd not to cease, Until her guiding Ifght and cloud . Close down to earth in mercy bow'd, Thea, fading out. bade her aloud, ’'Dwell herein peace."* And there within an humble cot, The world forgetting, and forgot, She dwells contented with her lot, Unknown to Fame. Was there no human friend in this, To light the way to human bliss? Yes, there was one, w hose merit is A guileless name. Si : ? : ! 15 1 know a maiden—onre as bright As stellar gem in cloudless uight— With sunny benrt. and step as light As dew upon the,Zephyr’s wing- Proud of her youth mid classic face, Her dignity and onvj'd grace— Wild in the chase, Os whom the Poet loves to sing. ‘Tis told in Grecian mythic lore That Proserpine, in days of yore. Was plucking flowers—nothing more— Upon a sunny mountain’s side. When Pluto—by design or chance— Stood in her path, with look askance, Aud viewing her with lustful glance, The lady wept with injur’d pride. ftot by his sly. Plutonic skill, He bent the lady’s wnv’iing will. And wrought a storm nhrre all was still. To blast her soul’s sunshine aud calm. Then to his base, seductive Hrt She gave her maiden’s love aud heart, Buttell too soon the burning smart That finds in life no pard’uing balm. But to pursue the fable on, Prom early to a later dawn, And rescue from Oblivion The fate of hapless Proserpiue. We’ll turn again to mythic lore, Aud burst its dingy, sacred door, Aud, mid its dark and dusiv store, Display the fiuale of tfie scene. Pluto—dispos’d to much deceit— J old Prosorpine she might retreat If she w ould neither drink nor eat b® while she dwelt in his domain; And then to make his tiiumpb sure, (A* she was mortal, and no more.) lie tantaliz’d till she gave o’er, Aud own’d her firm resolves in vain, quick, hi* lady love to please. And change her fears to tranquil ease, The apples of Hesperides He plac’d before her troubl’d gaze. Seeing an angel in the beast Who press’d her virtue to the feast, Imagin'd she?—not iu the least— The shame he schem’d to her amaze. The ripen’d fruit, in clust’ring pods, Might well have charip’d the heathen cods, Or wak’d to life the inert clods That thro’ the brokeu fallow swell. With trembling hand and aching breast, Determin’d to the fatal test, fihe tasted of the bitter zest, And, tasting, saw the light and fell. Suds was the fate'of one I knew, Who bow’d, with all the fervor due, Unto the living God and true, Anf pray’d as other Christians pray; But she was frail, like unto all. Prom high to low, from great to small— She fell! but only fell the fall That better self-made Christians may. Tbi* wa her sin.’ lier friends withdrew— And like the Priest and I.evite. t*>o. N\ hene’t-r she chant'd to meet ibeir view, They pass’d by on the nib* r side. But there was one whit, not aloof, - (jiivey’d her io his g-I.tat roof, V.ijdj, in hum iirity’s heh of. Bequeath'd her wlhat the world dent'd. ... .. ‘Tis said in Scripture, o cr aifd o'et, That he that givetb io the poor Leudeth the Lord a goodly store That will be douhly paid him hence. How great then must the diff'rcnce seem Between a selfish uorld and him Who piti'if-fallen Virtue's xxftim Aud Wept with injur’d iunoceuce J Hast thou forgotten bes of old. Os whom ’tis in the Gospel told, Wes brought to J- sus to unfold The story of her error own’d ? It was fit law in Moses’ day *<“ That she. fr in Virtue gme asTmj, The penalty of Death should pay By going forth aud being stuti’d. But Jesus knowing well the part Design’d t*y each accusing heart, Rebuk’d them till they felt the smart And left the temple, sad aud sore. Then in compassum looking uw The wouftau hopeless and forlorn. And knowing her accusers gone. Thus said to her— ‘ Go, sin no more,’! Hast than forgotten Magdalene Os w icked lusts ftfid heart unclean ? Os birthobst-uie and life obscene? Shu lin'd by each Pharisaic soul ? See thou the Holy Writ and read Where she, despile each dark misdeed, Was. by a pard'ning Savior freed From seven devils, and made whole. Then in the arms of Mercy caught, And purg’djof ev’ry baser thought. Her soul made new. and bosom fraught With new creations blest and blight— When Christ, veil’d in Irom profane eyes, Soar’d from the tomb unto the skies, She was the first to tee him rise And plume his ivings to eudless light. Oh, Man ! he not too quick to spend An evil thought of foe or frieud— Thou knowest not how thou wilt end, For worms do not always live. Know this one thing—enough to know— While trav’ling o’er this vale below— If thou woiddst have thy goodness show, Thou must grant pity aud forgive. •>•• • • | I knew a man who, poor and proud.
