THE SEWING Girl.

Meet Bhroud Tor the dying year.
And ladies wrapped IN warm furs went past,
And men smufled up 10 the chin,
And the hear of the city beat quick and :ast,
And noisier grew the din;
And children wentup and down the street,
And tiny snow balls tossed,
And delicate women and grey haired ner
Rejoiced inlhe coming frost.
Still by the cheerlessfire in ,hat'emr,y room,
On that cold December day,
There sat and sewed from morn to night,
One prenhaturely grey;
} She rises some hours before the dawn,
From short and troubled doze.
And through Winters cold and Summers
heat,
She sits in that room and sews
She hears the sound of no friendly Voice,
She meets no loving smile,
More lone In that peoped solitude
Than Crusoe in his isle.
She sees the gay and the happy pass,
And she hears the reaseiess stir,
And she knows not one in these ladg Ching
groups
Beslows thought on her.
Aad there, from morn TO eve, she plies
That biz Of shining steel,
And grudges the few short moments she
gives
To snatch scanty meal
10 make up lost time, more rapidly move
Those fingers, shriveled and thin,
For she measures her life by the yard she
sews,
Tier eras are work turned in.
And Winter passed, with its frost and snow,
And Spring with its budding leaves
And Time in his fervid glory came on,
Win his wealth of Summer leaves
And out 10 the open country parts
The human tide 'erfows;
But still through the long, bright Summer
days,
She sils in that room and sews.
Some are up OIL the breezy mountain top,
Some down on the grassy lea
Some saunlering along the pebbly beach,
Some are out on the open sea-
And rivers roll on, through meadows green,
And the gentle South wind blows,
And wild flowers blossom IN shady hooks,
While she sits in that room and sews.
AMI her thoughts; oh, who can tell her
thonghts,
As the needle goes out and in;
Though calm and motionless, there she sits,
Her mind is busy withinj
For many a bitter question then,
Her ovenharged heart will ask,
AS with aching head, and dazzled eyes,
She pods al her weary task.
''If Joy and Pain, in this neither word,
q Must fairly balanced be,
Oh why not some OF the pain 10 them,
And some of the JOY to me I"
But she chiG that bitter feeling down,
And knelt. and heard Der say;
"The night CO meth on when no man can
work,
Let me work while il is day"
