The lowy train in ife's sequesterd scene
The native feelings strong, the guleless ways;
What Aiken in a cottage would have been;
All tho his worth unknown, far happier there, ween
November chill blaws loud wi angry SUCH;
The shortnng wnter-day is close;
The miry beasts retreating frae the plough
The blackning trains O to their repose
The tol-worn Cotter frae his labor goes,
This night his weekly MOL end
Collects his spades, his matocks, and his hoes
Hoping the morn in and rest to spend,
And weary the moor his course does hameward. bend
length his lonely appears in view,
Beneath the shelter of an aged tree;
TIL expectant weehngs, toddln sacher through
To their Dad, wi Aichten noise an gee
His bit ingle, blinkin bonnlie,
His clean hearth-stane his thrifty wifes smile,
The lisping infant pratling on his knee,
Does a his weary carking cares beguie
An makes him quite forget his labor an his toll
Belyve, the elder BARNS drappng in,
At service out, amang the farmers roun'
Some ca the plough, some herd, tente rim

Their eldest hope, their Jenny, woman-gown,
In youthful bloom, love sparkling in her ee,
Comes hame perhaps to shew Draw gown,
deposit her sair-won penny-fee,
TO help her parents dear if they in hardship be.
With Joy unegned brothers and sisters meet
An each for others welfare kindly spiers:
The social hours, swt-wnged unnotcd fleet;
Each tells the that he hears;
The parents partial, eye their hopeful years
Anticipation forward points the view.
The mother, wi her needle an her sheers,
Cars aud caes look amais weels the new;
The father mixes a wi admonition due.

The younkers warned to obey;
An mind their labos wi an EVIDENT hand
An nee, tho out of sight, to auk or play:
An O be fear the Lord Away.

Lest in temptations path We gang astray
Implore His counsel and assisting might:
They sought in vain that sought the Lord aght'
But bark a rap comes gently to the door,
Jenny, wha kens the meaning the same,
Tells how neebor lad cam DER the moor
To do brands and convoy her hame.
The willy mother the conscious flame
Sparkle in Jenny's e'e and flush her cheek;
WI heart-struck anxious care, inquiries his name,
While Jenny haflins is afraid to speak
Weel plead the mother hears it's wild worthless rake
WI kindly welcome, Jenny brings him ben
strappan youth he takes the mothers eye
Blythe Jenny the visits no i'll taen
The father cracks of horses, pleughs, and kye.
The youngsters artess heart oer1Ows wi JOY,
But blate and faithful, well behave;
The mother, wi a womans we spy
What makes the youth sac bashfu an grave;
Wee-peasd think her BARNS respected like the lave.
o happy where love like this is found
heartfelt rapures bliss beyond compare
I've paced much this weary, mortal round.
And sage experience bids me this declare
"If Heaven a draught Of heavenly pleasure spare
One cordial in this melancholy vale,
It's when a youthful, loving, modest pair
In others breathe the tender tale,
Beneath the milk scents the evening gale
Is there, in human form, that bears a heart
A wretch villain lost to love and truth
That cam with studied, sly ensnaring art,
Betray sweet Jenny's unsuspecing youth?
Curse on his perjur'd arts descending SMOOTH
Are honor virtue conscience, all exldp
Is there pity, reentng RUTH

Then paints the ruind maid, and their distraction wild?
But the supper their simple board
The haesome partch chief O. Scotia's food:
The soupe their only Hawke does Afford
