ALONE IN THH WORLD.

Alone in the world among ,trangers roam,
With no place for shelter that can call homci
No gentle voice, no word Of cheer
No friends Of my youth THAT held so dear
In youth looked forward to manhood with pride
When should be free, and III freedoms BOAT ride
But alas! il came laden with grief and win care
The past a vague dream, and the future all bare
Each day cometh laden with duties for me,
But no voice that whispers when shall DC 'rcc
When care, and temptation, and sorrow shall cno
And be- returned to the land Of II friend
Though dark be the might, and fearful the gale,
III ride IN id the storm, and the loud creaknS sail
Though rough be my pathway, and sitting the air
rllhold to the anchor and never despair,
Despsirg no, that word with evil is iraught,
And who Ger receives it, his life is as naught;
Norm this world nor next, can he hope to be b!cat
Where the wicked cease troubling, and thewoary
Rnd rest FipEs.

There was nothing however, for it but to
