A COSMOPOLITAN WOMAN.
Silo went round and asked aubseripttons
For the Mack Egyptians
And the Terra del IPuegians,
She did; a
For the tribes round Athabasca,
And the mon of Madagascar,
And 1110 poor soots of Alaska,
So she did;
Sho longed, '•he said, h, buy
;foay cake, and jam and pie
For the Antllropophngi,
So she did.
IIer heart ached for the Australians
And the Borriobooli.Ghaliaus,
And the poor, dear Amahngrar,
Yes, it did ;
And oho lovod oho black Numidian,
And the ebon Abysaiuinn,
And the oharcoal-colored Guinean,
Oh, she did ;
And she said she'd cross the acus
With a ship of bread anti cheese
For those starving Chimpanzees,
Sero, she did.
'law she loved the cold Norwegian
And the poor, half -melted 1''eojooan,
And the dear Molnoca Islander,
She did;
Sho sent plc and canned tomato
To the tribes beyoud the Equator,
But her husband oto potato,
So he did;
Th- poor helpless. Homeless thing
(My voice faltors as I sing)
1'iafl his clothes op with a string,
Yes, ho did.
Tllli ma) MAN AND LIZ.
Worn and weary, seedy and sad, an editor
sat him down,
'Mid work and rubbish, paper and dust,
with many a wrinkled frown.
He sighed when ho thought of his paper
bills, his rent, and board, and wood,
And groaned when the copy fiend, yelled
out, as he there in the doorway stood.
"What do people fancy," he said, "an
editor live- upon ?
Air and water, glory and debt, till his
toilsonio life is done ?
I'll slop their papers, ovary one, till their
honest debts thoy pay,
And mark their unites off the mailing
book for over and for ayo 1
"Take thio copy, double lead, and mark
with a pencil blue,
And send to all who are in arrears, from
ten yearly down to two."
And then to the copy hungry boy bo
handed a pencil soralvl
01 hieroglyphics, straggling, wild, all
tnngled, and lean, and tall.
When scarce a fortnight had dragged its
length of tired.out hours away,
There came to the heart of the editor it
gladsome joy ono clay ;
'Twas only it letter from Gordon's Mill,
In a hand both weak and old
But out of it fel' a treasured coin, of
solid beautiful gold 1
The letter claimed his iuterest than. and
so 119 slowly raid
The scrawled, but simple and boxiest
words, and this is what they said:
"Ireer Editor ; I read tho linea you
narked and son to ono,
So I send tide limo of gold and ask if
yon will al,'reo
Toaend my paper right along, and forgot
the debt I owed,
For I've took your paper for twenty year,
and so far as o'er I knmv'd,
I never owed no man a cent till about
four veva ago,
\vbou my po' wife died, and the crops
was bad, and the fever laid ane low.
"And times hain't never been the sante to
little Liz and roe -
Tor wo are all that's left behind --and
since my oyes can't see
She always reads the paper, and its been
our only cheer,
And brought no all the news and fun we've
had for many a year.
"I'm getting old and feeble now, and
down with the rhettmatiz,
And there's the paper left to mo ; just
that and little Liz,
Wu couldn't bear to luso it now, it's boon
with us so long,
Till its very name is music, like an old
thno happy song.,
"This twenty dollar piece of gold will pay
for all I owe,
And what is over and ahovo, just keep
and let it go
Toward paying for tiro paper till a
brighter, better day ;
And send to Liz, she'll need it then, when
I am called away,"
Glad and thankful tho editor was, 55 he
know that thele was one
Who loved and could appreciate the work
that ho had done.
Ifo felt that life lune not in vain, and
smiled through happy tears,
And then on the mailing book ho wrote,
"Pail up for twenty yoars."
