SO high that only wealth can compass it, there is much

Six a.lttle Feet on the Fender.

In my heart there iveth picture,
Of kitchen rude and old,
Where the freight tripped Ger the rafters,
And redeemed the roofs brown mould;
Gliding the steam from the kettle,
That hummed on the foot-worn hearth,
Throughout all the livelong evening,
Its measure of drowsy mirth.
Because of the three slight shadows,
That frescoed that rude old room,
Because of the voices echoed,
Up mid the rafters gloom,
Because of the feet on the fender l
Six restless, little feet,
The thoughts of that dear old kitchen,
Is to me 80 fresh and sweet.
: When the first dash on the window,
Told of the coming rain,
O! where are the fair young faces,
That crowded against the pane
While bits of freight stealing,
Their dimpled cheeks between,
When struggling out in the darkness,
In shreds of silver sheen
Two Of the feet grew weary,
One dreary, dismal day,
And we tied them with snow.white ribbons,
Leaving him there by the way;
There was fresh c!ay on the fender,
That weary, wintry night,
For the four little feet had tracked it.,
From his grave on the brown hills height
o! why on this darksome evening,
This evening of rain and sleet,
Rest my feet all alone on the hearthstone?
O.! where are those other feet?
Are they treading the pathway of virtue,
That will bring us together above?
Or have they made steps that would dampen
A sisters tireless love?
