A Philological Fancy
" It is only a fancy of mine , but I hold to a three-letter name as the subject of the ancient mystery , and our own grand Name , whispered letter by letter , has a startling similarity of sound with Israel ' s national name for the Deity—G- —0—D— Je—hovah . " " Then you mean to say that English was the original language ? " " Pardon mea man would be accounted mad to say such a thing . I have simply
, drawn conclusions from your own teachings , and will venture to say no more than that I believe that the language which becomes one , is that which was one . Think of this when next you see the letter within the triangles . Good-night , and . a merry , happy , Christmas to you all . " Alfreton ,
Alone.
ALONE .
KI BRO . W . COBBETT , 249 . I MSE in early morning , And wish the night were here ,
And with each night ' s returning I 'wish the morning near : I seem to know more sorrow Than any one has known , And each recurring morrow Proves I am all alone !
The music in the bowers No longer charms my ear ; The sweetly blooming flowers Now stale to me appear : The sunshine and the gladness Which over them is strewn , But fill my soul with sadness , — For I am all alone !
The grand mysterious ocean Iu summer tune that sleeps , Gives to my thoughts the notion Of rest within its deeps ; The sun shines not upon it As once to me it shone , But death is resting on it , For I am all alone !
My loved ones have departed , — Li sdent dust they lie , — Ancl I am broken-hearted , And strongly wish to die ; For there is none to love me Since those I loved have flown . — Yes!— -There is One above me—I am not quite alone !
