For dark aud dreary is her lot
No real friend is nigh.
For wood and bread she asketh now,
OF shall she ask in vain?
Bee sorrow stamped upon her brow.
Ana mark the orphan train.
Winter has come-every drawer
Should be unlocked to-day;
Whom do you keep that clothing forf
Why not give il awayi
Come, pull II out-a cloak or vest
Whatever you can give,
Wrapped snugly round the orphans breast
Win make the dying live.

Half worn, and here 5 q cap,

What is not worth TO you a groat
Will health and warmth Aecure.
What's in your garrett Have the moths
For months been busy there?
All, they have quite destroyed the clothes
You We saved with prudent care.
Come, pull them out, perhaps we may
Find something that will make
A poor man rich, if given to-day,
And bless the hearts that ache,
Winter has come-givc, o give,
Whatever We can spare
A mite will make the wretched live,
And smooth the brow of care.
When plenty smiles around your door,
And comfort DIV, lis within,
