From the Literary Souvenir.l IS
THE NEGLECTED CHILD.

u never was favorjte;-
My mother never smiled
On me, with half the tenderness
That blessed her fairer child;
I've seen her kiss my sisters check
While fondled on her knee:
I've turned away to hide my tcars,--
There was no kiss for me!
And yet strove TO please. with all
My little store Of sense:
I strove to please, and infancy
Can rarely give offence:
But when my artless efforts met
A cold, ungeutle check,
did not dare to throw myself
In teors upon her neck.
'Hov blessed are the beautiful!
Love watches DER their birth;
Oh! beauty! in my nursery
learned to know thy worth;-
For even there, often felt
Forsaken and forlorn:
And wished-for others wished il too
never had been born!
q am sure was affectionate,-
But in my sisters face,
There was a look of love that claimed
4 smile or an embrace.
But when raised my lip, to meet
The pressure children prize,
None knew the feelings Of my heart
They spake not in my eyes.
But oh! that heart too keenly felt
The anguish Of neglect:
saw my sisters lovely form
With gems and roses deckcd;
did not covet them; but oft,
when wantonly reprovcd,
1 envied her the privilege
OF being SO beloved.
But soon time of triumph came,
A time Of sorrow too,-
For sickness Ger my sisters form
Her venom'd mantle threw
The features once so beautiful
Now wore the hue of death;
And former friends shrank .fearfulIy
From her infectious breath.
Twas then, unwearied, day and night
watched beside her bed.
And fearlessly upon my breast
pillowed her poor head.
She lived!-she loved me for my care.
My grief was at an end;
was a lonely being once,
But now hare a friend
