THE KEY TO THOMAS'S HEART.
BY WILL CARLETON.

BY WILL CARLETON.
Author of "Betsey and are Out.
Ride with me. Uucle Nathan?
| dou't care an | do.
My poor old hearts iu hurry I'm anxious to
get through.
My soul outwalks my body; my legs are far
from strong;
An it's mighty kiud O you, doctor, to help
the old mau along.
I'm some at full O hustle there's business to
be done,
I've Just been out to the village to see my
youngest 500.
You used to know him, doctor, ere he his age
did get,
An if ain t mistaken, you sometimes see him
yet.
We took him through his boyhood, with never
ground for fears;
Rut somehow be stumbled over his early man
hoods years,
The landmarks that we showed him, he seems
to wan1er from
Though in his heart there was never better
boy than Tom.
H. was quick o mind an boiy in all he done
au' said;
But all the gold he reached for, it seemed to
turn to lead.
The devil of grog it caught him, an held him,
though the while
He has never grudged his parents pleasant
word an smile.
The devil of grog it caught him, an then he
turned an said,
By that which fed from off him, he henccforth
would be fed;
An that which lived upon him, should give
him a livin Ger;
An so he keeps that doggery that's next to
Wilson's store.
But howso'er he's wandered, I've al'ays so far
That he had sense of honor, and never broke
bis word;
An his mother, from the good Lord, abe says,
has understood
That, if he agrees to be sober, he'll keep the
promise good.
Au' so when just this mornin' these poor old
eyes o mine
Saw all the women round him, coaxiu him to
sign.
An wheu the widow Adams let fly a homespun
prayer,
An he looked kind o wild like an started una
ware.
An glanced at her an Instant, an then at his
kegs O rum
| somehow knew in minute the turnln' polEt
had come;
An he would be as good a man as ever yet
there's been,
Or else let 80 forever, and suk in the sea of
sin.
