About the ''seCOnd deaih,'
 Which sartin must mean sunthin' more
 Bryond this airthly breath.
 And then of ''everlasiin' joy''
 YOu'll find it speaks about;
 And yit you'll See it tells ot some
 That seem to be "without."
 It pears to me if I was you
 wouldn't Say for sure;
 Cause some may git nstray right where
 You think that you're secure.
 Supposin' you fud out you're wrong
 Bimeby when ils too late;
 And that those words are true. about
 A 'sbroad and narrow gate"
 Twould be dretful ,hort to me
 That was helpin' sum
 TO go along and never think
 What after this would cum.
 or course you know your bizness best,
 But still it seems to me
 You're preachin' what you don't believe,
 But want to drettully.
