As an outcast fed from a gaping crowd;
Ana she turned her steps to the Church, and
there
Bowed low as the minister knelt in PRAYER.
And he prayed that the Lord OF Hosts would
come
To the Widows heart and the orphans home:
And for all the powers that be he praycd
And stress on the sins OF man he laid.
But where shall the outcast hide her shamee
Must she turn to the sink OF vice againe
Go, stone her 10 deathi" was the mafron's cry.
As she passed the suffering outcast by;
Ana she haStened home where her daughters
Moved round the room with queenIy air.
And told how with shame she blushed as she
passed

which Mrs. Burleigh has received from
Unitarians has been most gratifying.
She has been received with most heart
