"It's noting to me," the beauty said, With a careless toes of hor pretty head ; "The man is weak it he can't refrain From the 0111.3 you say is fraught with pain." It was something to her in after years, When her eyes were drenched with burn- ing tears, AnOt she watched in lonely grief and dread, And atarted to hear a staggering tread, "It's nothing to me," the mother said, "I have no fears that my boy will tread The downward path of sin and shame, And crush my heart and darken my name." It was something to be when her only son From the path of life was early wou, And madly oast in the flowing bowl A ruined body and a shipwrecked soul.

It is nothing to us to idly sleep While the cohorts of death their vigils keep, Alluring the young and thoughtless in— And grind in our midst a grist of sin'?
