DOUBLY FALSE.

BY

MRS. ANN S. STEPHENS.

AUTHOR OF "FASHION AND FAMINE," "THE SOLDIER'S ORPHANS," "THE HEIRESS," "THE GOLD BRICK," "SILENT STRUGGLES," "THE OLD HOMESTEAD," "THE REJECTED WIFE," "MARY DERWENT," "THE WIFE'S SECRET," ETC. There is no pathway leading to the light, Save that which honor treadeth for her own. The only star, that guideth through the night, Truth wears, triumphant, on her azure zone. * * * * * * The false, e'en to themselves are traitors all, Deceit must ever end in weary strife, As serpents' eggs give vipers from the thrall Of their warm fosterage, it chains the life— Coils in and out in many a poisonous fold, And hisses through the future uncontrolled.
