A LESSON IN NEEDLE WORK.

Not sigh was teard nor word Of complaint,
As home to her garrot she hurried.
She was sick with toll, and her soul was faint,
And she seemed to be worn and worried
She hastcned, and sadly at dead Of night.
without for a moment turning;
Then working size strained hor waning sight,
BY rush-light dlmly burning.
From her aching eyes hot tears were shed,
But she spoke not a word In sorrow:
She gazed on the face Of her child unfed,
And anxiously thought of the morrow.
She thought as she pressed his feverish hand,
And drew her thin shawl around her,
Ofthe boosted freedom of England's land
And the slavery which ground her.
Not half Of her weary task was done:
She had no more coal for firing;
She fancied she heard some lovely one,
Next morning the dress admiring.
Slowly and sadly she laid it DOWN
For the mother was tired and chilly
The work perhaps might gain some renown
But who'd think of her and her Williel
She bent DER the form Of Ter slumbering child
On its wretched pallet lying
Her cheek grew pale and her eyes locked Wild
Both mother and child are dyingl
Lightly they, II speak of them both next MORN
In the pauper- ground they'll lay them
They'll merely say, ga poor drcss-maker's gone
Yesl this IL how Britons pay them
