Trust not the one you love,
Trust not the one that loves you,
But trust the One above,
From whom that love you first drew.
Trust not to friendships guile,
'Tis heart bait to deceive you;
When born in loves best smilc
The chances are twill grieve you
Trust not to words but deeds,
They tell their proper story,
And in the souls high needs,
Are histories of its glory.
Trust not to signs or tears,
Passion is oft the woepor--
The anguish that endear5
Runs purcr, deeper.
As lightning mclts tho chain,
Yet frees by death the captive,
| The hours Of grief and pain,
Shall make thy trust more active.
Trust what inspires the breast
With truth and beauty's splcndor,
Bringing the sacred rest,
Their golden bond may render.
Trust that which ought to be,
Not that which is forcvor
Success in wrongs decree

Not always in false speeches

A few years since, as Mr.. Gallaodot
was walking in the streets Of Hartford
there came running up to him a poor
boy Of very ordinary appearance, but
