All

A!nd ev'ry care and sorrow,
and downs of life reflect,
.e ups
To warn us of to-morrow.
Poor Tom, while seated at his door,
He call'd the world unkind :
were o'er,
And sigh'd for days that now
All pictur'd to his mind.
His money spent—his credit fled !
Such horror star'd apace,
That made him tears of pity shed,
Which mantled all his face,
A wife was Mary —sweet to see ;
Three little ones could speak,
(knd gaily climb their father's knee,
To kiss his pallid cheek.
Tom cast a look upon his dear,
Then turn'd himself away ;
While fell destruction loiter'd near,
To cloud his opening day !
Amid these troubles, all it
To find relief tried be :
A friend advised 'twouldbe his gain
To try the generous sea.
the sails were spread,
The wind was up
All hands were gay and cheery,
Jim loan'd against the mast his head,
And look'd where stood his Mary.
Farewell, my wife ! aloud cried he,
Dry up those tailing tears ;
1 leave my pratling boys with thee,
O, guard their tender years !
The ship cut through the briny deep,
m wav'd bis hand,
Once more
He saw his faithful Mary weep,
'Till ocean drank the laud !
ings the moments flew,
On golden \v
and sorrow ;
Devoid of
Returning—near tl.e port he drew,
His lave to meet to-morrow.

Tom went to catch it hov'ring;
