HER MISTAKE.
Lovr, laid a heart down at her feet Small feet that found life's pathway sweet— So swcot, so smooth, so full of play, A heart sccm'cl only in tho way. She listen'd to its beats awhile, Thou gently dropped it with a smile; She hud all toys except a heart, And hearts, she'd heard, could ache and smart. For fear at \r,ve, its cost and pain, For love of life, her life was vain. Poor foolish feet that thought to tread The ways rcserv'd for happy dead! K.M.
