THE OUTCAST.
[BY MISS VANDERSTEIN.]
"As thou hast with others, will Fate with thee deal,
And that heart which pride smothers, be yet taught to feel,
Thou wilt doat upon one whom all others condemn,
And thy heart when undone will regard him like them."

Quivorley.
Aye, they may condemn him,
Yet so will not I,
When the storm clouds are darkest,
The rude blasts most high,
When denounced, and forsaken,
He shrinks from the storm,
Be my heart as unshaken,
My bosom as warm.
A love deeper than mother's,
Thou 'lt find mine for thee,
And deserted by others,
Be dearer to me.

Oh! how little thou knowest
The strength of that faith,
Which the proud spirit keepeth,
Through danger and death.
In the sunshine of fortune,
It hides from the world
Its love, like the eagle,
With proud pinions furled;
But when rises the tempest
O'er those it loves best,
Like the eagle it battles,
And dies for its nest.
