RESIGNATION—AN ACROSTIC.

[The initial letters of the alternate lines beginning with the first, give the word FATHER. The remaining initial letters give the word MOTHER.]

Father, to thee I lift my longing eyes, My hope, my love, my all now rest in thee; Around my shattered bark the tempests rise, O let thy arms of love encircle me. The lights of time are fading one by one, The glow of earthly bliss has fled my gaze; Hung on thy mercy and thy love alone, Here would I linger out my fleeting days. Entwine thine arms around thy lonely one, Enwrap him in thy robes of perfect love, Remove each stain, and when life's work is done, Raise to a mansion in thy courts above.
