Show I I A Pica For The Slighted Ones M Seloiloil hy Kohcrt llutcr, M II.M'inn, Utnk H M And wives, recollect, you hao duties too, H That very much depends upon you; M If joii would rqtain jour husband's respect M Never his welfare and comfort neglect; M v Sympathize with him in toil and distress M And he, In return, jour kindness will bless. H Woman's sweet smile, with a magical power, H . Can lighten the gloom of the darkest hour; 1 v Her wouls dictated b kindness and love 1 W 1 Uiop llku sweet music from regions above, ?"'t - A holp-meet for man a woman should be, , ',. Such Heaven intended as her destiny. H Vho companion of niun, her dignified place, M vbS And will is shu fitted that station to grace; M f Wot to control him, his wishes despise, M f T Nor as dictator presumlngly rise, H f But willing ami lolng and gracious and kind, M Like tlte vine, round the oak, caressingly twined, M V To earnestly help htm Ills tiials to 1e;u M And chase from his blow tliu dark siiadows of care. m !vif Man's place Is to guide, control anil defend, H pp Ami woman's, hur aid to ills energies lend; H Wi if each filled their sphere, as Heaven ordained, B &T. What numberless blessings by each would bo gained? L 1,ul when wives forgot tho allegiance thoy owe, if Tho anguish it causes tliey nuver can know ; I Tho Biinsliiiio of peace disappears fiom his face I And soikiw 'deep lines on ills couutonanco trace; Tho prime bf ills manhood is speedily past, I And tho tokens of ago accumulate fast. I . Slights are most cruel from those- wo esteem, I Then happiness vanishes (julck as a dream. H H Man's lot on tho earth would ho loncsomo and drear H ! Without woman's sweet prosenco ills splilt to cheer; H m Many a husband has scorned to complain, H y And clioaon n gloomy rcsorvo to maintain; H "" . For llfo has no longer a chnrm to Impart, H When honor, estoom and affection depart. 1 V' William Clcgg, . M U'l'ingvlllo, Utah. |
