THE ENGLISH FACTORY GIRL.
Twas on a winter morning,

Twas on winter mornlng,
The weather wet and wild,
Throe hewrs before tho da wninsi --
The father reused his child;
Her daily morsel bringing, ....l
The darksome room he paced,
And cried "the bell lie ringing,
My helpless darling, haste !"
t.Father, I'm up, but weary,
l scarce can reach the door,
And long the way and dreary,
Oh, carry ME once more!
To help us, we've no mother;
You've no employment nigh,
They killed my little brother,
Like him, I'll work-and die +"
Her wasted form seemed nothing,
The load was at the heart,
The sufferer he kept soothing,
Till at the mill they part.
The overlooker met hor,
As to her frame she crept,
And with his thong he beat her,
And cursed her as she wept.
Alas, what hours Of sorrow,
Made up her latest day,
Those hours that brought no morrow,
Too slowly passed away
1t seemed as she grew weaker,
The threads the oftener broke,
The rapid wheels ran quicker,
And heavier fell the stroke.
The sun had long descended, .
Bet night brought no repose
Her day began and ended,
AS cruel tyrants choose.
At length to little neighboi,
A half penny she paid.
To take her last hours labor,
While by her frame she laid.
At last, the engines ceasing,
The captives homeward rushed,
She thought her strength increasing,
Twas hope her spirits flushed.
She left, but oft she tairied;
She fell, and rose no more,
Till, by her comrades carried,
She reached her fathers door.
At night, with tortured feelings,
He watched his sleepless child,
And close beside her kneeling,
She knew him not, nor smiled.
Again the factory's running,
He last perceptions tined,
When from her straw bed springing,
"'Tis time ~ she shrieked, and died.
That night chariot passed her,
While on the ground she lay,
The daughter of her master, s
An evening visit 10 pay.
There, tender hearts were signing,
As negro's wrongs were told,
While the white slave was dying,
Who gained their fathers gold!

"Forget and Forgive"
s~sss..
Forget. forget! oh, canst thou think,
This heart can So uniailhful be
may forget all else beside,
But cannot cease to think OF thee.
For like star ;hroned in the sky,
Thine image is in memory set;
Go dim the lusIre of the star,
And bid me then ,hyself forget.
While feeling in this breast shall live,
Yes, thou shalt be remembered yet;
Forgive IL can, ito forgive,
But by my soul can't forgeti
No, never. never!-let me first,
Forget all else that's dear 10 me:
Let Fate and Fortune do their worst,
They cannot crush one thought of thee
know that thou hast never cast
One thought, one sing lie thought on me;
And tina, the memory OF The past,
Recalls no dream Of love TO thee.
A nd though my life is turned to night,
Since that one hope in darkness set,
| cherish snll the faded light
o: hid me hope. but not forget!
