And yet tits like paradox
A hoard is not horde.
The sailor, when he's of tho land,
A vessel is aboard;
But don't this look ridieulous?-
Aboard is not beard.
All houses have an aperture
Which VIC have called door;
And yet my dictionary says
A door Is not adore.
And also in that book It's writ,
Addice is not dice;
And, ike an infdei, it says,
A wise is not vice.
What next the brazen tome will say,
dare not even guess;
Perhaps cote is not coat;
Address is not dress.

A quire is not acquire;
Or that 3 eross j. not scross,
A spirs is not aspire;
Or that bough is not bow,
A due is not adieu
Or that an aisle is not an isle,
A gnu is f4E frO@ new.

Abate is not bait;
Or that cell is not a sell,
A gait is not gate;
Or that back is not sback,
A cord is not accord;
Or that front is not affront
Afford is not ford

To knead is not TO need;

quit, he posted off TO Washington to
see the President and OBTAIN his
rights.


The President received him court

gave him blessing that he will remem-

Though young, l we'll remember
When the rude winds blew SO wild;
Death came In cold December,
And made me an orphan child.
Yes. young, but left with Mother,


Whose love remained SO true
My Sister and my Brother,


Then were left us orphans, too.
We loved thee, yet soon forgot


The loss we had sustained
We were young and took no thought
That poor Mothers heart was panied
Mother has told us of your life


OF your mission far away
How she, your widowed wife,


To her Savior oft did pray. ..
know thou art truly blest. n
And i would not summon thee
From thy happy home Of rest


To tread earth's dark paths with me.
The rapture will be so great,


Beyond the parting hour of pain,
When we shall meet at heaven gate,
And peace and bliss forever reign.
Oh. Father till that hour doth come,
Guide and watch thy wayward child,
That she may reach thy heav My home
And see the face that on her smiled.
