To my Children.

To my Children.
Ys.M.J.
Mid all that attracts you, of fiction or truth,
Dear children forget not the home Of your youth;
Twas there where your parents to light did first wake
On the banks of that river, the old Kennebec
There we spent all school daysthe seedtme Of lfe
season Of pleasure, with incidents rife
As we call back its scenes and retrospect take,
What happy thoughts cluster round old Kennebec.
And should you, my children eer wander abroad,
Since none may foretell the deep counsels Of God,
Whate'er recorections of home shall awake
Let remorse never hover round sweet Kennebec
We may think on your foies and weep fof awhile,
But the tear Of repentance is crowned with a smile
Hold fast by discretion, and time shall not wreck
Your hopes, bright as sunbeams that light Kcnnebec.
Where We took with consent what the ruan boy stole,
Nor cared for the stain he had left on his soul;
What shouts of wild transport their echoes would wake,
As your tiny limbs bathed in the cold Kennebee.
There clambered for berries the steep rocky side
Where Hobomok frowns DER the dark rolling tide,
While mothers heart trembIed for each little neck
Oh, the joys OH the fears that surround Kennebec
And think of the pleasure Of that happy day,
When well freighted bark sped so swiftly away;
And sought the rude spot where old oceans waves break
As they mingle their waters with old Kennebec.
And when we returned to our own peaceful shore,
How could we but thank Him who brought safe DER
What hymn of thanksgiving to God should awake,
That We found not graves in the dark Kennebec
For thou art deceitful, thou treacherous stream;
Where thy waters glide placid as inante dream,
There deepest and darkest, and surest the wreck
OF him who would tempt thy wild depths, Kennebec.
Thoust flowed DER the agedthoust swept DER the young
And oh, could we give all thy victims tongue!
If all thou hast robbed Of their treasures could speak,
What a wall from thy borders would rise, Kennebec
And we had our sorrows, and weighty ones too,
When the arrow of death to little home hew
And she, the dear loved one slept never to wake
Till thy ebbing and flowing shall cease, Kennebec
But there is a river deep and more broad,
Whose streams shall make glad all the city of God;
On its banks in Chriss likeness at last may wake,
And bid joyful farewell cen to thee, Kennebec.

A little boy had his first pocket-knife, and
for several days used it himself, and extended
the privilege occasionally to his little playmates.
One evening he was kneeliDg at his mothers
knee, saying his customary prayer, which he
closed up to these words" And please, God,
