A Sequel to the Little Girls Soul

A Sequel to the Little Girls Soul.
BY s.. FL.
That little girls souls fieshy casket
Has grown up to womanly size,
marvel OF beauty and graces
That dazzle and bother all eyes.
Her forehead is high and expansive,
Her cheeks like the soft tinted rose,
And face though disposed to be pensive,
Is wreathed with deceptions gay "pose."
Her form is rich-frescoed with fashion,
The latest and gayest in style,
The beaux's are all dying with passion
To gain, if it be, but smile.
In old Terpsicho's gaudiest halls
She glides liks sylph. in tide dance
With conscience that never appals,
At giving each lover glance,
OF affection-and sigh-as If cupid
Had wounded and captured her heart
While the gulls were too dull and stupid
To relieve by extracting the dart.
She makes each believe he's her choice,
Til tangled in meshcs of love.
And when at her feet, she'll rejoice
To cut him, and give him shove
To one side,-then in tones soft and mellow
She'll swear to his rival, by Jove,
Only he has loves ritorncllo.
No other her passion can move.
1t is thus in gay pleasures she glidcs,
And hatters. and dallies with hearts.
Never thinking, though conscience oft chides
IT God will approve OF her arts?
But now that bright forehead Is wrinkled,
Her checks are all faded and wan,
Her hair is with silver besprinkled
And brilliance of eyes are quite gone.
Her limbs that were airy and 1.-THE
Now tremble with premature age,
The lady has lost all her blithe,
The soul feels it, in pent cage
From which it must soon mako Its way
To realms that it never has known,
region above, where they say,
Is One who for it did atone.
All! mother, dear mama you never
Did teach me to know of His love,
You never, no never, no never
Did turn my affections above.
My body. you decked in fine linen,
My heart, you encased in deceit,
My mind, you trained to be winning,
To bring worthless beaux to my feet.
But now. my dear mama, am dying,
Yes. dying with sins dismal blight
Too late fer the hope OF applying,
The blood of my Savior! Good night.
