I sat alone in my cottage , The midnight needle plying ; I feared for ray child * for the rush ' s light In the socket now was dying . There came a hand to my lonely latch , Like the wind at midnight moaning ,
I I knelt to Drav—but rose a ^ ainknelt to pray—but rose agjun—For I heard my little boy groaning ! I crossed my brow , and I crossed my breast , But that night my child departed ! They left a weakling in his stead , And I am broken hearted !
Oh ! it cannot be my own sweet boy , For his eyes are dim and hollow ; My little boy is gone to God , \ And his mother soon will follow . The dirge for the dead will be sung for me , And the mass be cbaunted meetly 5 And I will sleep with my little boy In the moonlight churchyard sweetly .

doubtingly , to entertain the same opinions which he held , till the time when his son had nearly finished his studies at Cambridge , and was soon to be ordained . His widow , who had a mind equally serious , penetrating , humble and candid , was
then led , with her daughters , by their intimacy with the Rev . Edward Harries , ( for a memoir of whom , see ; Mon . Eepos . VoL Vll . p . 118 , ) to doubt whether they had not hitherto , on some very material points , misapprehended the plain and obvious doctrines of Christ and his
apostles . Their friend was then m possession of two livings , and performed the duty of the church in the village where they resided . He was still inquiring himself , but became daily more and more convinced that Unitariamsm was the
doctrine of the gospel , ana from time to time ga ? e up reading those parts of the Liturgy which be judged to be uuscriptural ; and so far wefe Ms hearers from objecting to this , that not only the people of his own parish regularly attended , but as many others as could be accommodated with places in the tlm » ch .
