Ihe careful mother tends her children dear,
Tnree little prattlers playing on the ground,
And one, d babe in arms: whose fingers now
Tan scarcely clasp the bguble in its hands
Trace we that infants course, for Fate DEGREES
That child, in the near future, shall obtain,
Lot by the accident of birth, nor yet
by Fortunes spcci ! favOrs; but by toll,

Nv hard-earnei vision. and by gallantry

Dur country could bestow. Leaving to US
A bright example for all future time.

SHUT from the halls OF literary lore,
Tbs hahe has grown into the staIwart youth,
symnast of the ficlds. In school the weak
Look ND to him for aid nor look in vain!
Al sixteen wears he travels forth for work,
AlJ asks mans wages, and obtains them too,
After good proof they would be fairly earned.
But dreams of foreign climes perplex his
brain,
Visions of coral grots and a-girt isles.
80, to that end, despis ng not the means,
70 learn the mysteries of a sailors life
He seeks a chance to drive on the canal
From that stiII prompt at duty. he's advanced
70 MI the steerman's post But Fate DEGREES
His fortune lies on land. That cruel pest
The ague seizes him and drives him home.

And driving his sea-tancles far away.

The smooth and easy path up Science mount,
But toll by day, ana harder Toll at eve
To purchase kn, wledge he so much desires.
