BY

L. N. COMYN,

AUTHOR OF 'ELLICE, A TALE.'

Lovest thou God as thou oughtest, then lovest thou likewise thy brethren.
Bears not each human figure the godlike stamp on his forehead?
Readest thou not in his face thine origin? Is he not sailing

Lost like thyself on an ocean unknown, and is he not guided
By the same stars that guide thee?
