"R ock of Age», cleft for ine,”
Thoughtlessly the maiden »ung:
Fell the words unconsciously,
From her girlish, gleeful tongue;
Sang as little children sing:
Sang as sing the birds in June:
Fell the words like light leaves down
On the current of the tune—
“ Rock of Ages, cleft forme,
Let me hide myself in Thee.’ ’

“ Let me hide myself in Thee, ” —
Felt her soul no need to hide:
Sweet the song as *ong could 1>e —
And she had no thought beside;
All the words unheedingly
Fell from lips untouched by care,
Dreaming not they each might bo
On sonic other lips a prayer—
“ Rock of Ages, cleft for mo
Let me hide myself in Thee."
“ R>ok of Age», cleft for m e," —
Lips grown aged sung the hymn
Trustingly and tenderly;
' oiee grown weak, and eves grown dim,
“ L t nu- hide myself in T hee."
Trembling tho’ the voice and low,
Ran the sweet strain peacefully.
Like a river iu its flow,
Sung as only they can sing
Who life's thoruv paths have passed;
Suug as only they can sing,
Who behold the promised rest -
“ R >ck of Age*, cleft for me.
Let me hide myself in T hee."

girl who cannot support herself.
The same is true of tho daughter

and, I submit, prove that making
woman independent pecuniarily,will
in no wise deter her from marriage,
or add at all to her security against
an unhappy married life.
W e may talk as much as wo please
of the importance that girls be taught
some employment by which they ca°
support themselves until married, or
if left widows, or made worse Ilian
widows by recreant husbands. They
will not do it to any great extent ;and
for tin* same reason that Bridget will
not save half her wages. They ex

and with him a home, and thev to-
gather will provide for any future.
We might as well attempt in this
land to revive the ancient law, and
require every rich man’s son to learn
a trade, for fear of future reverses.
All the changes that are rung up
on the term “ Woman’s Rights” are
the veriest twaddle. Freely will all

that she has not, as between the two.
