AN ECHO TO BEAUTIFUL SNOW. A lady correspondent has sent to the Ballai Star tko following linos, as an eeho to “ Fallen Woman’s Story,” recently published our columns : Boor lone one, dejected one, Coulds’t thou but know What thousands admire Your “.Beautiful Snow,” It perhaps might a soothing, A cordial impart, And blunt the keen edgo Of remorse in thine heart. I \ Poor, frail, erring sister, 'p Oh ! many there be, That (hadst thou but lived) Would have comforted thee. But the fiat want forth From the King on ilia Throne, 1 And with power, yet in love, Whispered “ Daughter, come home.'* You believed on the Saviour, , iiegretted your sin, ..And the germ of salvation W as stirring Within, When you wrote with suoh pathos ■ The “ Beautiful Snow,” And ielt like an outcast VV ith nowhere to go. Oh J sad was thy fate, And gloomy tuy lot; Anu wneu tne snow lulls Thou wilt not be forgot. We will hope and believe At your desolate end, The Saviour was husband, And brother, and friend ; That the vital spark tied To a mansion ol rest, And the “ Beautiful Snow” in blessing was blest. Oh I daughters, more favoured, Oh ! sisters and wives, Bespected and loved, Loading Virtuous ijtMs, Cast not the first stone As the fallen pass by • They aie wdlkcpt wnum Coil keeps,” You fiavs hthp uom ou lie juice, ana be thankful i ou are what you arc, Wmio you move m your sphere BiJie a beautiful star.
