The southern chiId,s Lament.

Published by Request.
The following lines were suggested
by a southern lady being banIshed to a
northern state during our war, she and
her child dying there on Christmas
day L. NJ.
"Mother, thy say It's Christmas eve,
But mother can it beP
1t brings no smiles upon your face,
No merriment to me.

No longer would | roam,
Oh take me back to the orange grove
AT our deserted home.
Our parlor looks 50 dark tonight,
We have no Christmas tree,
No dainties on our table spread
Mamma, how can it beP
The grass at our home is soft and green,
The skies are bright above,
The little birds sing merrily
Their songs of JOY and Love.
| long 10 breathe the pure, fresh air,
To see those bright, blue skies,
And wander Ger our garden walks
And chase tho butterflies;
| long to see the tall pine trees,
For through their boughs today
The winds are sighting mouinfully
Because we stay away"
"My child your simple, artless speech
Makes the tears unbidden start,
The light is dim within our home,
Gone out within my heart,
And across our darkened path
Hope casts a trembling CLEAN,
It's but the phantom of a joy,
The mockery OF a dream.
One promise sweet sustains me now,
To suffering ones It's given,
That they who bear the cross on eartl
Shall wear the crown in heaven
One gift claim as ours
Upon the coming Of the mcrn,
Zone gift from heaven, a glorious boon
The promised Savior born.
This promise WHICH sustained her thel

Ere the Christmas morning dawned
They were wearing the crown q

would suggest a new and fair election, on
account Of the interest of the society.
