CHARITY.
saw man, child Of wo,
Approach, with halling step and slow,


A fellow mortal's door:
In health saw him go away,
With manly step and visage gay,


His sorrows were no more
saw man in prison bound,
With iron walls and Chains around,--


The child Of misery:
quickly saw ihe moving bar
The bolt recede, the door JAR


The prisoner was free.
saw the SICK man on his bed,
Without hand 20 press his head -


Death seem'd around to stalk
| saw the monster yield his prey
AS some sweet voice was heard to saw,


" Take up thy bed and zDaik."
heard the sland'rous tale 60 forth,
And tant the gale from south to north;


saw the maiden pine;
/ saw reverted every ear
saw the maid without tear,


The lly-wreath entwine.
saw the simple go astray,
And fall to vice an easy prey;-


The sword began to draw:
heard voice the victim cheer,
As some sweet angel dropt a tear,


And blolted out the law.
saw erroneous nature go
Blind-fold into the paths of wo;-


70 frown the world began:
heard a voice Of sweetness say,
s''ris natures doom to so astray,"-


Show me the perfect man"
These works. blest Chqrity, were thine,---
Thou daughter of the skies benign,-


To whom the task is given,
On earth 10 wipe our tears away,
To set them right who so astray.


And lead the way TO Heaven.
