face of the poor, keep back the hire Of
those who serve us, exact the utmost Earth

the gray haired beggar from our doors, and
spum the infant child that solicits bread
at our hands. For thee, we are guilty Of
ever mean and dishonorable action; for
thee, we pierce ourselves "through with
many Sorrows" and sacrifice our hope of
eternal and everlasting Inheritance.
To thee, we look for comfort when the
icy hands of death shall feel after our
heart strings. Forsake US not when our
gray hairs come with dishonor to the grave;
when those we have wronged--lhe or.
phans, the destitute, and the forlorn--
shall invoke curses on our hard hearts.
To thee, we look for consolat when

O thou great dollar, who hast rescued

hands Of the final Judge. Forsake not,
we pray thee, for it is our determination
10 be faithful unto death, and then--the
Judgment The Judgment! Our heart
sinks within us at the thought! The course
of justice is turned by thy mighty innu

AUTUMN WINDS.

All around our lonely dwelling,
Cold the Autumn winds are swelling
Requiems for the Summer telling,
That has flown.
With their gorgeous colors puling,
Slow and sad the leaves are trailing,
To the winds slow, solemn wallng-
List it moan!
Sadder yet, some soul is weeping
Nightly, lonely watches keeping
Der some hopes eternal sleeping
In the tomb:
Ger some dreamings Of the olden
Time-all warm, all bright, ali golden
Never more shalt thou behold them,
Through the gloom.
Thro' the gloom that's gath'rlng DER thee,
On the pathway now before thee,
Greedy Time will meier restore thee
Aught that's flown;
Bu, while all thy soul-strings sever
While they ache, and bleed and culver
Thou must live for aye and ever,
All alone!
