AUTOGRAPHS Lizzie E. DeBevoise Jamaica, L.I. August 8, 1874 MY ALBUM My album is a basket sweet, Brought from some fairy bower, In which friends, such as seldom meet Drop each a pretty flower. It is a basket well beset, With gems of richness rare, And real friends, who ne'er forget, Place each a jewel there. Aug. 10, 1874 Lizzie E. DeBevoise Gulick, Anna R. To Lizzie, Earthly treasures fleeting, fading, They can never give the peace; Thou wilt find in Jesus only All thy restless yearning care. Go to him with all thy burdens, Cast upon him every care. He will heal thy bruised spirit. He will hear each broken prayer. Dear Lizzie, that you may find this true in every day of your life is the earnest wish of your friend Anna R. Gulick. Jamaica, L.I.

DeBevoise, Annie To Lizzie's Album Gro, little volume like the bee, The fertile fields of mind explore, Cull from each mental shrub and tree, Some grateful lines to swell your store.

Jennie - Jamaica, L.I. ( X my mark ) Wyckoff, Archibald F. - Flatlands Neck DeBeVoise, Charles T. To Lizzie In after years when you shall recall The days of pleasure past, And think of joyous hours that all Have flown away to fast; If some forgotten air you hear, Bring past scenes to thee, And sadly charm thy listening ear, Keep one kind thought for me. Your Cousin, Chas. T. De,Be,Voise Oct. 27, 1874 Lott, Charles J. To Lizzie, Some starry night when all ?????

Trust in God, He'll guide thee When arms of flesh shall fail; With every aid provide thee And make his grace prevail; Where danger most is found There He His power discloseth, And 'neath his arm, Free from all harm The trusting soul reposeth. Maria S. Haley Aug. 12, 1876 Bouse, George Jr. As pearls do not float on the surface, so the best traits of character are not always the most prominent. George Bouse Jr. - Bayside, L.I. Colyer, Z. Maltilda - Cypress Hills, L.I. DeBeVoise, Sarah W. To Lizzie, We may write our names in albums, We may trace them in the sand, We may chisel them in marble, With a firm and skillful hand. But the pages soon are sullied, Soon each name shall pass away, Soon each monument shall perish, As all earthly hopes decay. But my friend there is an Album, Full of leaves of snowy white, Where no name is ever tarnished, But forever pure and bright, In this book of life, "God's Album", May your name be pruned with care, And may all who here have written, Write their names forever there. Your Sister, Sarah W. DeBeVoise Aug. 14, 1874 Riker, Carrie C. To Lizzie, The family is a little book; The children are the leaves; The parents are the cover, that Protective beauty gives. At first the pages of the book Are blank and purely fair; But time soon writeth memories, And painteth pictures there. Love is the little golden clasp That bindeth up the trust; O break it not, lest all the leaves Shall scatter and be lost. Carrie C. Riker - Bloomfield, N.J.

Lizzie, Thy little book is soon to launch Upon the world's deep sea And flowery but forbidden paths Will tempt thy soul and thee But O, if thou with child like heart Will ask the God's kind care He'll guide, protect, and keep thee safe And thou his love shall share. Annie G. D.B.V. Aug. 26, 1874 Waldron, M. E. - Newtown, L.I. Aug. 18, 1876 Lott, Carrie A. To Lizzie, I took your album up to write Turned to a page all pure and white I dipped my pen into the ink, Then knit my brow & tried to think; I thought & thought & thought again, Then thought that I would get a better pen. I got the pen, and then I tried To think of something else besides; But nought could think, until I came To think that I would write my name. Carrie A. Lott - Jamaica, L.I.
