PSALM: OF THE BALD HEADS,
t
Tell me »Ot, in merry accents,
That I have au nnthdtohed roof ;
'Tie rho hairy head that lecke south--
I3aldnoes is of thought a proof.
Hair ix vulgar, hair ismeelese,
And to brush and comb a bore ;
Making life but dud and juiceless,
I need brush and comb no mure,,
Not for wise mon matted hair Is,
Black or brown or red ie fair ;
Lot the savage of the hirairioe
Waste Lie time in raising hair I
Life is short and hairs are numbered,
And, though Rios aro hardly borne,
Still et nigh' I've ale aye slumbered,
When the Lighten') Shave worn,
For no future, bald-headed brother,
You were. bald in infant days;
(have not hirsute or another--
Brain
nother-Brain it is; not hair that pay0,
In the world's broad field of battle,
V.hu'd be at the Limber's call,
Listening to his tiresome tattle,
Better bare as a billiard -ball.
Lives of great men all remind us
Iliac our ',mouth and polished pates
Leaving all hairy beads behind us
Let
no thank the favored fates I
Footprints of Old Time's fleet walking
No one sees on oar smooth crowns,
Nino no nitre the idle talking
Made by anxious mop -head clowns.
Let us, thea, O:hairless brother,
Proudly through life's pathway rell;
We remember that dear mother
Earth is barien at the pole.
TO THE MEMORY OF THE LATE
ALEXANDER WEBSTER,
BT 0!118 11. 0., 1110380EL8.
Farr -well dearest brother
We meat bid you adieu, _
And we all feel sorry
At patting with )ou.'
So we deeply deplore
Rhe sad loss t.f a friend,
And with tear0 of affection
We bear ,you in mind.
Possessed of each virtues,
Ae gotdnces and truth,
So kind and obliging
Oh ; such a worth.
The youth of our village,
Both matrons and men,
All mourn in procession
To the place whence he came.
So rices may vanish
And ages go by
And time and eternity
Oloser draw nigh,
So with tears of affection
We will mark on the slab
At the bead of the mound
Where our hero is laid,
Sleep on dear brother,
Peace Le to thy Foul,
We all all soon must follow '
To flit up the roll.
When the last trumpet sounds
And the dead will arise,
And with robes of snow whiteness
Bo will mut to the akiee, ,
Then the Great Judge'ill appear
Among' hie angels of light
And the verdict will be
To the right, to the right.
TEE WASHERWOMAN'S FRIEND.
In a ver) humbleeot,
In a rather quiet spot.'
In the suds and in the soap
Worked a woman hill of hope ;
Workitg, aiming, all alone,
In a sort of undertone,
"With a Saviour for a friend;
Re will keep me to the end."
Sometimes bapponing along,
I heard the semi -song,
And I often used to smile,
More in empathy than guile;
But I never maid a word
In regard to what I heard,
As the sang about her friend,
Who would keep hertothe end.
Not in sorrow nor in glee .
Working all day long was she,
As her children, three or four,
Played around her on the floor;
But in monotones the song
She was humming all day long,
"With a Saviour for my friend,
Ile will keep me to the end."
Just n trifle lonesome she,
Just as poor as poor could be,
But her spirits always rose,
Lilco the b ebble0 hi the olothoa;
And though widowed and alone,
Cheered with her monotone,.
Of a Saviour and a friend
'Who will keep her to the end.
I have aeon her rub and scrub
On the washboard in the tub,
While the baby, sopped in suds
Rolled and tumbled in the duds;
Or was puddling in the pools
With old scissors stuck in spools ;
She still humming of her friend
Who Would keep her to the end..
}lumen !hones and human reeds
Bevo their root in human needs ;
And I would not wish to strip
From that washerwoman's lip
Any song that she oan sing,
Any hope that songs can bring
For, the woman has a friend
'Who will keep 1ier to the end.
