WILMINGTON TUESDAY, MARCH, 1922

n lew oflef years Of glatness hurried on,
And all was lovely luminous and pure
Hope halpd new bliss at each returning dawn,
And every day found boyhood more secure,
SIblimer scenes, unfolding to allure
flames laurel wreath, and beauty's myrtle.crest
While Joy, of long duration, all too sure,
Saw not the storm collecting to modest,
Nor heard the thunder booming DER its rest.
1t came, with fearful suddenness it came,
he deadly siroc-the consuming gale:
impoverished fortune own'd its whitening flame,
hha weeping orphanage was heard to wall
Death Ink d al last to ruin, proy'd how frail
Had been my web.work visions Of delight.
That like the budless sparkling in the trail
OF some fair galley gliding in its might,
Gltterd awhile--then faded from my sight.
Yes, the paternal circle where my youth
Had tasted transport, end enoy'd repose--
hat home OF tenderness, affection, truth,
Became the dark abode Of many woes,
Health from my feverish cheek, withdrew her rose,
And lett the hectic glow OF anguish there
The lamp of life seemd burning at its CLOSE
But Friendship sooth'd me, with her angel care,
And babe disease Its rayages forbear.
Alas woke from illness, but to gaze
On fortunes ruins scatter'd idly round !;
The world appe d one dark impervous maze,
Where pleasure languishd, disappointment frown'd
AND deaths cold osts the loyeliest verdure crownd
Methought all human beings shunnd me then,
Consgnd TO bitter solitude profound
That cen the famish'd wolf within her den,
Lookd on my grieis, more mereiu than men.
! et there were those whose sympathizire power
Gould cheer me still--(tor we'll knew their worth
Within the walls where inlancy's first hour
Was spent in gay rejoicing at my birth
There, many an interval Of holy mirth,
Pass'd e'er broke from chldhood's shelterne dome
10 go my way unfrended on The earth
Without guide, where natures children roam,
Want my associate, and the world my home.
O never, never, can my soul forget,
The hour OF parting with that much lov'd few.
he qulvering lip, pale cheek, and eyes all wet,
ne fond caress-tb9 eloquent adieu
{ hat seed my lingering footsteps to pursue
Q never can think with unconcern,
EOi love SO fervent, tedeiness so true,
But thought shall aye In fond remembrance burn
70 greet such feeling with glad return.
DARK was that day Of separation--still
MY heart recurs in sadness to the scene,
Dark-ior left kindred bosom ill
StunB by disease, that bosom long had been,
Yet tho in hopeless languishing--serene
My young and faded relative appear'd,
And when press'd her burning cheek her mein
Procsaim'd soul by hope celestial cheer'd--
She wept my perils--s they were all she ieard.
tie, he, who feeds young ravens when they cry,
Will not desert her, for to him she gave
L ull many silent tear, and secret sigh

God, be thou rnerciful to her, to me,
But should the deadly storm around US rave,
