three quarters of pound Of saltpetre,

sixty years old-that is, some ofthe pickle

a part Of his estate, Irregular descendants

The orphan Sailor Boys Farewell.
Farewell to thee, mothers-
Farewell ere we part
Let this hour not give thee
Such sadness of heart:
For the wide worlds before me
My prospects are bright
And God thou hast told me
Protects the upright.
Fear not that temptation,
Besetting my heart,
Shall poison the virtues
Which thou ddst impart:
AS seeds were they watered
BY tears trom thine eyes,
And, warmed by thy kisses,
To life sweetly rise.
Await but their blossoms,
Whose fragrant display
A fond mothers watchings
And prayers shall repay
Nay-fear not the Tempter
Their beauty despoil,
While God gives the increase
- To a mothers sweet toll.
Farewell, my dear sisters
And brothers, adieu-
Love, love one another
As your brother loves you:
Love, love thy dear mother
In veal or in ruth
Unfurl the broad motto,
My Mother aud Truth.
Farewell, my dear mother
Farewell one again
May heaven protect you
From sorrow and pain.
Farewel-ssters, brothers.
On each other rely;
Farewell for season.
God bless you--good-by.
