THE WIDOWS CHARGE.
AT her Daugbtct's Bridal.
BY MRS. LYDIA II, sIcouRNEY.
Deal gently thou, whose hand has won
The young bird from the nest away.
Where careless meath a ysrnsl sun -t...
She gsly earoIi'd day by day
The hsnnt is lone -the heart must crieye.
From whence her timid ving doth soar,
They pensive list, at hush of eve,
Yet hear her gushing soag no more.
Deal gently with hsr.-ihou art dear.
Beyond what yestsl lips have told.
And like lamb, from fountains clear
She turns, eonfdng 10 the fold;
She round thy sweet, domestic bower
The wfsaths Of chsngeless love shall twine.
Watch for thy step at yesper hour,
And blend her holiest prayer with thine.
Deal gently, thou, when far away
Mid stranger scenes her foot shnl rove,
Nor let thy tender cares decay.
The soul OF woman lives in love;
Aud shouldst thou, wondering, mark tear
Unconscious, from her eysIid break,
Be pi,iful, and sseth the fear
That mans strong heart can ne'sr partake
A mother yields her gem TO thee.
On thy true breast TO sparkle rare
She places meath thy household trso
The idol of her feadest care;
And by thy trust to be forgiven,
Whsn judgment wakes in terror wild,
BY all thy treasurd hopes Of heaven.
Deal geatly with the Widows child.

which that alteration might be effected; there were
two ways by which that alteration might be Effected d.
The one by the result of the contested electons-the
other nv the action of the People upon their repesen-

will of the people might be expressed, and July
