LOST FOR WANT OF A WORD.

Lost for want of a word, falUn among thieves and dying ; Priests and I/'vitos passing the place where he is lying; He too faint to call, too far off to be heard; These are those beside life's highway lost for want of a word. Lost for want of a word, all in th“ dark night straying; Among the mazes of thought false lights ever betraying; Oh! that a hum in voi e the darkress had stirred ! Lost and benighted for ever, lost for the want of a word. Lost for want of a word; too high lie may be, and noble, To be ever chocked in his sir, or led to Christ ; n his trouble; No one boldly and truly to tell him where he has erred, Poor handful of dust and ashes, lost for want of a word. Lost for want of a word, a word that you might have spoken. Who knows what eves may be dim. what hearts may be aching and broken ? Go scatter beside all waters, nor sicken at hope deferred, Let never a soul by your dumbness be lost for want of a word. —Selected.
