THE OLD MAID.
tx ii. i'i..xri jr.
O, tfll rue why, Ihotmh a maid I old,
Uir tMie it may not be miiir!
And why lir tnle it may not be told.
How that abe loo once waa young.
Anil thnt her lovera came, and lovcra woo'd
Yet left her to pine in solitude 1
Her dear old schoolmates all are gone ;
II rr listers nil are wed ;
Anil in cruel hours ahetwinrd the flowers
To deck llto heaiitcom head
Of one who slolo the liemt uway
On w hich her own was et,
A lid Hindu her rue the luckiest day,
(.And niukca her rue it yet,)
When a lover came, and a lover wood',
Vet left her to pine in solitude.
Year after year she dwolls alone,
While the world l)i:S gavly by.
And the tears they start in Her aching heart.
Hut thev never dim her eye J
For her grief in her accret oul abldca,
And ahc wears cheerful air,
While in Iter I otoin the treasure she hidea.
Like the lock of a lost oue'a hair;
And dicinn of the lover who came and woo'd
Yet lell her to pine in solitude.
Proudly she bean her serrenful head,
W reathsd only with curls,
Bravely the bears the jibes and the jeers
J lie world at the Old Maid hurls ;
Fur ehe knows that the lot of Woman is hard,
And thai in the rude Battle of I.ifu
Her bosom inuat often be wounded and scarred,
Whether maiden, or mother or w.lc;
So, though lovers still ca.nr, aid lovers flill
woo'd,
She would half prefer her solitude.
O! say mt her heart is selliah android.
And that nothing har love can aroime.
For who but she, to the sick and the old
Is the angel in every house 1
Yes. in trial and trouble the Old Maid is near,
With a balsam for all our w.i.-s.
And she e'en ledd an ear, and drops a kind tear
When to her the young maiden gors,
i d lell of (he lover who came and who woo'J,
Yet threatened tj leave her in solitude.
Then tell me why, thouzh the may be old,
Her praite it may not hn sung I
Aad why her tale it may net be told,
How that sle loo once was young.
And thnt lovers came, and lovers weuld,
Ai.d left her to pine in solitude 1

In those strictly sacred duties, that we owe

In all such lields of labor the true Christiun
