W. R, Wills.

I love a child when young and fair, I love a boy when wild and free ; But O ! I hate the brutal cause That Etamps him hnir to poverty. I love a fair and beauteous maid When he*ven beams m her sweet eye And she ib pure — but O ! I hate The fiend who makes her life a lie I love a man, -with strength of will To bear what feebler hearts may wring ; But O ! I hate, if he should dare Bow down unto a meaner thing !

And he who doeß not help the poor— *Vho sees no wrong in Court or State ; ~W"iio praißea God for wealth and power To self alone— l hate ! I hate I Ah! no. I pity him, poor worm, And pray—" God help his poor estate ! " And with a scorn of acorns— l Bay I pity— irith a kin to hate l
