I do not like to hear him pray a Let blessings on the widow be,” Who never seeks her home to say, , * li If want o'ertakes you come to me.” I hate the prayer, so loud and long, That's offered for the orphan’s weal, By him who sees him crushed by wrong, And only with the lips doth feel.

When her lover first went away, Fanny amused herself in feeding the birds he had given to her, and also in tending the flow ers that grew most, beautifully under her care. Quiet and secluded, she had little to occupy her attention, and the songs she sang the books she read, the walks she took, all indicated the presence of her lover to her mind’s eye. He would be home in six months and then he would make her his wife. r Time is always laggard to divided lovers.
