In endless

Or make you birds, or trees on craggy hill,
To bide the bitter blasts of storm and shower;

If to my will your yielding hearts you bend,
You must forsake your Christendom and faith,

The bright-peeled osiers on the sunny fence,

And tries to push the bolt and scamper thence,

Grown hard and
stubborn
in the ancient mould,
Grown rigid in the sham of lifelong lies:
We hoped for better things as years would rise,
But it is over as a tale once told.

adequate criterion of police statistics, we find that while the male
and female populations are nearly the same in number, the
crimes committed by men are usually rather more than five times
as numerous as those committed by women; and although it may
be justly observed that men, as the stronger sex, and the sex
upon whom the burden of supporting the family is thrown, have
more temptations than women, it must be remembered, on the
other hand, that extreme poverty which verges upon starvation
is most common among women, whose means of
livelihood
are
most restricted, and whose earnings are smallest and most pre-
carious.
