A "PoME 4"

The following comes to Us anonymously.
The writer is evidently a man Of =" feelinks, -
and - forty, at least. 1t is a queer subject !;
but there is a touch of nature and truth in it,
after all, as shown in the poem though We
suppose the writer has been every where"
in his time
TToR THE STAR.
THE MAID OF THE GREAT HOTEL.
CANroI.
She was only maid in the great hotel,
And labor'd from morn till night;
Yet knew at a glance knew rig bit we'll
That her heart no more was light.
spoke to her kindly-for thus / felt
Though lowly her lot might be;
was sure there meier at the altar knelt
maid more pure than she.
She answered ne well: but a sad, sad smile
fass'd DER her features then =
20 sad-but long'd-long' ID ali the while
10 see that smile again.
Sometimes we thus meet them In humble life
by nature all good and true;
But taId Is the struggle and the strife,
As they work their passage through;
ana men, so touching IL IS 10 see
The truth and virtue there
nat nat IL seems so strange, so strange TO me
Iheyre not found eU'ry ,chsrsf
CANro II
In tne nall she sat, and she held book,
And seem'd 10 trace the page:
But saw. az gave closer look
IL didn't her thought engage:
OF ner eye moV'd not, as an eve that reads,
And vacant was her look
It's SO rare TO find, for the heart that bleeds
t IL solsce In a book.
i asb'd the maid Of The great hotel
IL she liked the book she read:
Ano sne seem d TO bind me, as with a smell
BY the simple words she said:
IL Keeps me from thinking, sir, ," said she
1.eh fhzfs
Oh she seem'd a dear, der maid TO me
ana III love her long, long while.
She's maid who feels and has felt tnov
some sorrow deep and Sore
But what has sadden'd this good maid so,
can tell YOU nevermOre
Oh! eanaot tell, for none told me.
But feel II all so well
some sorrow, not hers the fault can be
lhe maid Of tie great hotel.
cANro III.
I'm only guest in the great hotel,
Solourning for a day
But this maid-oh she'll be remember,d veil
=" hen am far away;
Kind towards her is my heart
g. Cr this she merits WE'LL
And III feel little sad to pat
FROM the maid Of the great hotel
IL will soon be my lot to stop again.
But Whereof, who could tell!
ana III feel the aching void and pain,
ALONE, In some great hotel
~ ~ ~ III Will De there, my thoughts to share
None good and true as she;
DGc Wnen lar away, won't think Of the day
This maid smiled sadly at me!
CANTo w.
In more OF sinner, far, than saint,
"A man OF the world" they say;
but mind found pure would not faint
NOR trusting heart betray;
lis SO mean thing for age and skill
TO steal the hopes Of youth,
Ano pend 70 an experienced will
The young hearts trust and truth
wen Lothario these lines shall trace,
In scorn his lip may curl;
But suppose hiS 1tJtsr In the place
OF the humble servant cir,
lis pitiful, sure, the victory e.
The strong gains DER the weak:
And wish not on nv crest to see
Fne roe from blighted cheek,
envy not the ruthless man
The triumpbs OF his art;
FOR II d face the devil sooner than
The ghost Of a broken heart,
