BOY (Written for The Advance -Times buy T. A. Calhoun, London.) There'S a little boy I meet? Every morning on the street, As he tosses in his papers at the doors, For the anxious ones who wait In a seini-conscious state, 6 To peruse the latest scandals and the scores. Now this little boy I meet Every morning on the 'street, Always smiling as I pass him on the way, His "Good -morning so polite Fills my spirit with delight, )And it helps me thru r the balance of the day. When the morning sun is hid, By a cloud, this little kid Just the sante as when the sun is shirring bright, Greets me with a happy smile That will linger for awhile After other scenes have faded out sight. In the winter's wildest storm, With his papers on his arm, Oft I meet him in his little suit of gray'r . And., he lifts a little song, That should start the world along, Like'°a robin on the twenty-fourth of. May. of I, have never asked his name, Nor enquired whence he came, Or when his early labor he began, But I neverpass him there That I donot breathe a prayer For a blessing on this noble little man. Fame or fortune never smiled, Ole a braver little child, 'With a pleasant smile for everyone he meets, • 'In a world so .full of frowns, Scattering gladness on his rounds, r. • Pr tole streets, °Send us the News May we draw to the attention of. tour readers that we would be pleas- ed to have you tell ns• of your boli= ' day visitors for our next week's pub- lication.
