THE GOLD BRICK.

BY

MRS. ANN S. STEPHENS.

AUTHOR OF "FASHION AND FAMINE," "MARY DERWENT," "THE OLD HOMESTEAD," "THE REJECTED WIFE," "THE HEIRESS," "THE WIFE'S SECRET," "SILENT STRUGGLES," ETC. His was the deepest sorrow, for it grew Out from his crime, a night-shade of the soul. There, fed on poison—bathed with bitter dew, She found the evil thing. Her sweet control Unearthed the root, and softly planted there A tiny germ, all white and pure as snow, And then with tears, and smiles, and silent prayer, Through grief and darkness, watched the lone plant grow A stately tree, rooted so deep in Love, That its best fruitage must be found above.

Philadelphia: T. B. PETERSON AND BROTHERS; 306 CHESTNUT STREET.
