tieman In Allegheny City, Pa:
\ Sweet Monte Maria IN thy glorious car,se. Z
/ What pen need use deceit to tell thy fame, l,'1
/ When all around the genius or thy laws s. -
| Effulgsnt gids with light thy holy name2
| What foe who stands by James re1ecting stream
Can withta baleful glance thy beauties scan,
Can fall to cherish In his n,inta gIean j. 81.
!, or inward Faith triumphant o'er. the man RI
The warm southern heart. its quicseIed pulse, .
Its chords as slender as Elys!um Tyres, a9Iay
Thr,otblhg and gay 10 10 every c bright Impulse;
This is the haven Monte Maria seeks 4sss li.iE
For help, for shelter In It's hour of need;
The heart that never ON its people wreaks
4 thought Of evil for their race or creed.
This is the heart that when the tempest swept
In storm and wrath far DER the sunny land,
At loss of all Its bestand noblest wept, - 'lL
Yet showed 10 tyrants how the brave can staud.
stii with him impartial W sympathy it beats
Saddened whenever sorrows Intervene.
Proud wien graceful act Its vigil greets.
Bright Richmond well may e,rvious eyes behold
The virtues that enshrine Thy generous Soul;
Tracing thy future with thread OF gold,
Crowning thy present as the seaSons roll.
Philanthropy, the pri'est trait OF flesh,
Has 1t better home than on thy sod,
Where bigoiry ne'2r wove sinful mesh
TO swerve humanity from love of God
To thee and thine Monte Maria pleads,
Hopeful and trusting. sure OF manly aid
Where sacrifices aud ennobed deeds
sStenci1eiia Il iusre never doomed TO fade.
From thee it a.ks a moiery. share
or The rich wellIngs out thy noble breast;
CoHfding in the love that centres there
For affirmation to Its sad request.
Thy children in their upright course fife,
add to thy honor ono, !. and defend aS thy name: e -
Toiling llnsullied mid the haunts OF shame.
Monte Maria, satisfied with this,
Has no ambition higher to.conceal;
Her life an effort for Eternal bliss,
Her acIs struggle for The peoples veal.
In thy broad PALM then, Richmond be the fate
Os this gay Carnival, now open for all.
Where chastened pleasures and.fond welcomes wait
The friends whose charity hath urged the call.
Which is true happiness. The hour wh ich lends
transient rapture to It's hckle train,
JOY and good deed whose fruits shall e'er remain !?
Parents. would ye who see the precious light,
That shines from Church Hill on your children's
Stand careless by, Indifferent to the plight
OF those whose presence such a light 1mpartS
Would ye who watch before the peaceful cot
or Innocence, and.v 1t grow apace, :.
Take from Its future life the priceless lot
or Wisdom Of Sublimity and Grace
