THE PUBLIC ECHO TO " BEAUTIFUL ■ SNOW;" ! A lady correspondent has sent us (Ballarat Star) the following as an "echo" to "A Fallen Woman's fctory," as recently published in our columns : — Poor lone one, dejected one, Could'st thou bat know What thousands admire Tour •• Beautiful Snow." It perhaps might a soothing, A cordial impart. And blunt the kten edge Of remorse in thine heart." Poor, frail erring sister, Oh, mam there be. That (haii'st thoa hut lived) Would have comforted thee. But the fiat went forth From the King on his Throne, And with power, yet in love, Whispered ''Daughter, come home.'. You believed in the Saviour, Regretted your sin, And the germ 01 salvation Was stirring within, When you wrote with such pathos The " Beautiful Snow," And felt like an outcast With nowhere to go.. Oh ! sad was thy fate, And gloomy thy lot, And when the snow falls Thou wilt not be forgot. j
