NOWHERE TO GO. Nowhere to go! These harrowng words. Lame from a maiden sad and lone; By howling winds as keen as swords Her fragile form and garb were blown. She paced the grim old streets and courts (With hanger pictured in her eyes), Those spots where savage want resorts, And hope, long baffled, sinks and dies. XlI" maiden ne'er had stained her name MV ith any orime, but long she pined 4" £ :t?n?9d the path that led to shame, Wtnie love jay perfect in her mind. wu 6 i'e8P c'ty> anc* Prond and vast, Where life's gr^at, currents crosswise go. Saw not this creature rndely cast Adrift, andjdying of tier woe. She heard the hum of restless crowds, While grief wag written on her face Iler'ra,,tR, like thin and tattered shrouds, Half-bid and half revealed her ferace. She yearned to catch some kindly eye, One face where pity might be seen For earth seemed like a darkened sky That shows not where the sun has been. She wandered long but died at last Of want and woe, yet no one cared; Her nlJcloiled eyes were h-avenward cast, And with a glassy Imtre stared Coli on the pavement stretched she lay, A marble pallor on each cheek Yet on her lips there to .(.emed to play A ioDfi and faint desiro to speak. Nowhere to go oJ), Gad, how long Will these sad word- strike on our ears ? They're ever failing from the tongue Arvi toingling with tIt" bitterest tears. Tiifiy rise and fall on every side Where want wthont a crime may dwell,— Where women bi.roing miseries hide, And men their sorrows scorn to tell. An nge tnpy come, Gnd speed it on When famished million* shall be less Ar-, i Pity reach each friendless one • • ith gifts designed to cheer and bless An K*»e to hush the tragic cr F rrr., hungering host- every land Where the pining pooi may riee, No more sween death and want to stand *— St. Javifs i Md'jiizine.
