monious Nearly all girls of Catholic parents,
not taught at home by governesses and
masters, are educated in converts as pen

A WOMAN'S SONG.

She took her song to beaufy's side,
Where riches are and pomp an O. pride;
There In the world amidst The crowd
She found out hearts by sorrow oowed2
And midst a dream Of light and dress
She saw the pain Of loneliness
Her voices magic held q tear.
She made the weary ones draw NJ var;
And all the passions Of the throng'
Were melted into peace by songi
She took her song along the street.
And hushed the beat of passing feelH
And tired toilers stopped to fill
TIER hearts With music at her will
She sang Of rest for weary feet,
OF sea moan and of meadows sweet;
Her voices pieadtngs stIlled the air.
And nttie children wept with her;
30 all their sorrow, grief and pain
She softened into love again.
She took her song TO those who rest
Safe in the clasp Of natures breast,
Amid the graves, along the shore.
Washed With salt tears forevermore;
And then she sang. How long How long.
Before we hear that perfect song
That angel hymn That mystic strain,
When those who loved shall love again,
When iife's long struggle shau be blest
With music OF eternal rest!
