Pat, with peculiarly distressing look,
as if he was il tight place. Think

ladies in the background put her mouth
down to his ear. and shouted again,
"We want to know where you are
hurt" se
Pat, evidently, finding that if the
bombardment continued much longer
he would have to strike his flag any
how, concluded to do so at once, and
accordingly, with face as rosy as a
boiled lobster, and with angry kind of
energy, he replied: sSure, 'leddies,
it's dafe that l am; but since We are
determined to know where I've been
wounded, it's on my safe. The bullet

am tossing on the biliowsr
Of stormy, restless life,
And my soul has grown weary
Of>tke never ending strife.
There are little barks about me,
gpon the same rough sea;
And the mariners are looking
With confidence to me.
There are little forms around me,
Who with childhoods trust and love,
Are ever looking to me.
As must look above.
IT'S mine these hearts TO strengthen,
To teach these little hands
To steer their banks with caution,
Through life's uutoward strands.
II is mine to teach immortals,
TO steer the bark Of life,
Upon this stormy ocean,
With snares and perils rife.
/ am weary, Oh, how weary I
OF the still increasing cares,
That gather round my pathway,
And beset my feet with snares.
And but fer little faces
Looking ever up to me,
As their leader and their pilot.
Upon this stormy sea;
should fail in life's great battles,
/ should Weld in many a storm;
and the rough waves wildly dashing,
Would wash my sinking form.
Thank God for little faces,
Ever turning unto me,
As their leader aud their pilot,
Ouson life's stormy sea.
