THE WlEE,S APPEAL.

You took me. William when girl,
Unto your home aud heart,
TO bear in al your after lifo
fond and faithful part;
And tell me have | ever tried
That duty to forcgo.
Or grievcd because had no Joy,
When you were sunk in wo?
No-I would rather share your tears
Than any others glcc,
For though you're nothing to the world,
You're all the world to me =
You make n palace of my sbcd,
This rough hcwn bench throne;
There's sunlight for me in your smiles,
AS music in your tone.
look upon you when you sleep,
My eyes with tears grow dim;
1cry, o Parent of tho poor,
Look down from heaven on him;
Behold him toll from day to day,
Exhausting strength and soul;
Oh look in mercy on him, Lord.
For thou canst make him whole.
And when at last relieving sleep
Has on my cyciids smiled,
How oft are they forbid to close
In slumbcr by our child
take the little murmuror
That spoils my span of rest,
And feel it is part of thee
luil upon my breast.
There's only one return | crave,
may not need il long;
And it may sooth thee when Pm where
The wrctchcd know no wrong;
ask not for kinder tone,
For thou vert ever kind;
ask not for less frugal fare,
My fare do not mind.
ask not for attire more gay,
III such as have got
Srlflce to make me fair to thee,
For more / murmur not;
But would ask some OF the hours,
That you on club bestow-
OF knowledge which you prize so much
May not something know;
Subtract from meetings among men,
Each eve an hour for me;
Make me companion of your soul,
As may safely be:
If you will read I'll sit and work.
Then think when you're away;
Less tedious j shall find the time,
Dear William, If you stay.
meet companion soon I'll be
For your most studious hours;
And teacher of those little ones
You call our cottage flowers
And if we be not rich and great,
We may be wise and kind:
And as my heart can warm your heart
So may your mind my mind.
