VOK ! 1CAL ASYLUM,

From flit Palladium of I.ibmj TIU. YO AGE OF LIFE. Man is a wand'ting pilgrim here, A ituv U r In thil world of woe ; A mariner on life's rough sea, ExpoVu to ail tlic storms that blow. Temptations sanguine spread his sails, And inexperience takes! t.ic nelm ; False hopes send a deceitful gale. And disappointments overwhelm. Wreck'd on the rocks of deep remorse, He naked, trains a dreary strand, Where sad repentance! holds her court, And horror takes hiui by the hand. Sham and confusion how his head, He gazes round in wild despair, Looks back upon the voyage of life, And curses ail tjhatbro't him there. Then shall he die. and sink beneath. So vast an.' cumbrous load of woe ? Ts there no pitying hand to help, NoiK to avert the awful blow ? Yes there is ONE ; O wand'rer turn, Accept the proffer 'd hand of God ; ili blood shall wash thy stain away, His mercy break the scourging rod. ElilEUS.
