From tut Eurrrpi an Magazine. THE ORPHAN BOY. Alas! I am an Orphan Boy, With naught on earth to cheer my heart; No father's love, no mother?sjoy, or kin nor kind totakeniy part. My lodging; is the cold, cold ground, 1 eat the bread of charity; And when theki of love goes round, There is no kiss, alas, for me. Yet once I had a father dear, A mother too, I wont to prize: With ready hand to wipe the tear, If chanc'd the transient tear to rise. But caue of tears was rarely found, For all my heart was ueful glee, And when the kiss of love went round, How sweet a kiss there was for njc. But, ah ! there came a war, tfcey say : What is a war 1 I cannot tell, But drum and fifes did sweetly play, Ami loudly rang our village bell. In truth it was a pretty sound 1 thought, nor could I thence foresee, That when the kiss of love went round. There soon should be no kiss for me. A scarlet coat my father took, And word as bright as bright could be, And feather that so gaily look, All in a shining-cap had he. Then how my little keartdid bound! Alas! I thought it fine to set Nor dreamt, that when the kis went round, There soon should be no kis fur rue. At length the bell again did rin? There was a victory tfeey said; 'Twhs what my father said he'd bring; But, ah ! it brought my father dead. My mother shnekM, hr heart was wo, She clasp'd me to her trembling knee, O God ! that you may never know, H jw wil 1 a kiss she gave to rue ! Btit once again, but mice again, These lir a mother's kie? felt : That onre again, that mice a;ain, The-tah a heart of stone would melt. "Twiis when uion her death-bed laid; 0 God ! () God ! that ight to ee, 4 My child, my child," he fr blj -aid, And gae a parting ki to me. So now I am an Orr.hmi Boy, Wit', naught It-low mj heart to cheer; No mother's Iovp, no father's joy, .Nor kin nor kind to wine th tear. My lodging is the cold, cold ground, 1 eru the bread of charity; And when the kis of love goes round, Tfctre is iij kiss, alas, for me.
