Lament Of the Widowed Inebriate.

BY BYRON W. fArRg.
Pm thinking on thy smile, Mary
Thy bright and trusting smile
In the morning OF our youth and love,
Ere sorrow came, or guile
When your arms were twined about my neck
And my eyes looked into thine,
Aud the heart that thIobbed for me alone
Was nesting close to mine
see full many a smile, Mary,
On young lips bealniDg bright,
And many eye Of light and love
Is flashing in my sight;
But the smile Is not Tor my poor heart,
Aud The eye 10 strange 10 me
And loneliness comes DER my soul
When memory turns 10 thee /.
Pm thinking on the night, Mary
The night of grief aud shame
When, with drunken rawlings on my lips,
To thee homeward came;
Oh the tear was IT, your earnest eye
And your bosom wildly heaved,
Yet smile OF love was on your cheek.
Though your heart was sofeIy grieved
But the smile soon left your lips Mary
And your eye grew dim and sad
For the TEMPER iured my steps from thee,
And the wine cup drove mo mad
From your cheek the roses quickly fled,
And your ringing laugh was gone
Yet your heart still iondy clung 10 me,
And still kept trusting on.
",
For the wine cup made mo wild
And child thee when your eyes we're sad,
And l cursed you when you smiled;
God knows loved thee even then
Bat the fire was in my BRAIN,
And The curse OF drink was IN my heart
To make my love u tane.
Twas a pleasant home OF ours Mary
In the spHng-lime OF our life,
Whsn looked upon your sunny face,
And proudly called you wife--
And twas pleasant wnen our children played
Before our cottage door,
But The children sieep with thee, May
nc'ef khali see them more
Thou'n resting in tho church-yard now,
And no stone is al thy head
But the sexton knows a dfunkard's wife
Sleeps on that iowly bed
And he says the hand OF God. Mary,
VIII fall with crushing weight
On the wretch who brought your gullcless life
To iu antimeiy tate
But he knows not Of the broken heart
bear within my breast.
Or the heavy load Of vain remorse
That will not let mo rest;
he knows not OF the epless nights
When dreaming Of your love,
seem 10 see your angel eyes
Look coldiy rom above
| have raised the wiue.cup in my hand.
And the widest strains I've sung,
TIN y it'll the laugh of drunken mirrh

Boz pale and sorrowinl face has looked
From out The cup me,
And trembling whisper have heard
That isnced came from Thee
Thou ar, siumbering in thy peaceful grave.
And thy sleep il dreanless now
Bat the seal of nevef-dying grief
Is on thy mourner's brow
And my heart ~ chill as thine, Mary.
For the Joys OF liie fed,
And long to lay my aching breast
