elf She Repent, Forgive Again.
BY soLox ROBINSON.
Is woman's frailty e'er forgiven
By those like her might err!
Oh yes but ts alone in Heaven,
IT'S not earth, must
If one false step of errng beauty
Is ever made earth,
No after life of moral duty
Can win the world to see her worth.
The world is cold and unforgiving
To frail
An after life in virtue living,
Too often proves of no avail.
Kind hearted sisters, so forbearing
To all the sins of men,
| Is there mercy for the erring
| If she repent and turn again
| How she 'scapc her base condition
If you will bar your gates
Have mercy on her sad position,
IT'S love that savcs-God never hates
