THE FRIENDLESS EXILE.

Borne onward down the stream of Time,
He wandered all alone.
An Exile from his native cline,
From kindred, friends and home.
a stranger meath hostile sky,
Exposed to every pain,
Where cold suspicion meets his eve
And friendships buta name"
When his lone heart with sorrow melt,
And dim his frlendless eye,
All! who can tell his anguish felt,
Or paint smothered sigh.
Not they who meet sisters smile,
Or greet mothers love,
Nor they whose faithful friends beguile,
The hours that slowly move.
Nor he who greets his lovely bride
With joy above control,
Can tell his anguish nor describe
The yearnings of his sout.
None can describe the heart that's torn
From every kindred tie,
But those who've learned that fate to mourn
And heave the bitter sigh.
Der blighted hopes. with bleeding heart,
He sheds the bitter tear.
And sighs in vain to heal the smart,
Oppressed with grief and care.
See disappointment gath'ring fast
Upon his aching brow,
And burning shares of Sorrows blast,
Untimely burrows plow.
When Cynthia walks the starry sky,
And lights the silent grove,
See then affection in his eye,
And hear his tale of love-
How Mary once, his joy aud pride,
Wish love in all her ways,
Had pledged her faith to be bis bride
The hope of brighter days.
And how the storm, at Hates command,
Like wild tempest rose,
And swept him from his native land,
The victim of his foes
He thinks of Mary in his walks.
And when he goes to rest
And dreams of her, and with her talks,
And faneies he is blest,
How bright his joys, but oh, how brief!
He wakes from out his sleep
'Tis all dream, he turns in grief,
And hides his face to weep.
While others drink from Pleasures cup,
And sing the Joyous note,
He scarcely dares his thoughts lift mp,
To build on future hope,
