"INAS YJ 'CII."
You say that you want a meetin'•bottoe for the hove iu the gnleh up there,
And a Snndey.school with piutut'•booke ? Well, put me down for a share.
1 believe in little children ; it's as Moo to hour 'en; read
As to wtu(10• round the renal: at noon and see the cattle feed,
And I believe in preiwhin', too --by mon for prenelsin' born,
Who let 10000 tilt) hllfllfn of area::, and n:eastue out the corn,
The ping!:': hut a manger whore the paws are geapol fed ;
And they say 'twee to a mangos that the star of glory led.
Ho I'll 4nbscribe a dollar toward the monger and the utalls
t always give the boot I'vo got whenever lily partner aal'e,
And, .stranger, let mo tell you : I'm beginning to seeped:
That all the world as partners, whtttevor their creed or sant ;
That life is a kinin of pilgrimage, a oort of Jericho road,
And kindness to olio's follows the sweetest late in the rode,
No :nutter about tho'nitiltls ; from a farmer, yeti underotancl,
Who's generally had to pay it alone from rattier an o'rnary hand.
I've never struck it rich ; for farming, you see, is slow,
And whenever the crops are fairly good, the prince are always low.
A dollar isn't very much, but it helps to count the some ;
Tho lowest trump supports the ace and oometimee wins the game.
It assist a fellow's praying who: he's down. :upon hie knee(.-••
"Ie asi ti:b as you have 110110 it to ono of the leo t of them."
I know the Vet•4e4, stranger, so you needn't atop to (quote ;
It's it different thing to know thou: or to say then: off by rote.
I;11 tell you whore I learned them, if you'll stop in from tho rain :
'Twos down in ['risco, yoaro ago ; had been there hauling grain.
It woo near the city lixnito, on the Sacramento pike,
Where stone and sheds are rather mixed, and ohautiee eettteriu' like.
Not the likeliest place to be in, I r, member the saloon,
With grocery, market, baker•shop, mei ber.roont all iu one.
And this made ult the picture my heir was not then grey,
But everything still seemo no real sus if 'twere yesterday.
A Tittle girl with haggard fnao stood at the counter there,
Not more than ten or twelve at mutat, bat worn with wiel and care ;
Mid her voice was kind or raspy, like a sort of crook cold--
Juoot the lone you find in children who aro prematu :dy old.
She said : "Two bite for broad and tem, Ma hasn't notch to eat 1
She hopes next week to work again, and bey us all s•r:).:• :neat.
We've been half starved all winter, but epring will even be here,
And she tolls ns, hoop up courage, for God is always near:'
just then a dozen men camp in ; the boy wits called away
To shakothe spotted cubes for drinks, as 'Lbrtyuinors say.
I never heard from human lips such oaths aid nurses loud
As rose above the glasses of that crazed awl reiklee crowd,
l'ut the poor tired girl sat waiting, lost at last to rowels deep,
sn :cog beside it barrel in the corner, fast asleep.
Well, 7. stood there, sort of waiting, until 4onio ono at the bar
Said, "Hello! I. say, stranger, what havo you over thus?"
'lho boy then told her story, and that crew, so fierce and wild,
Grew intent and seem, d to listen to tho breathing of the child.
:1'hc ,;lassoo all were lowered ; said the hauler : "Boys, see hero ;
A11 day we've boeu pouring w1il key, driekiug ,loop our ah,istmas cheer,
Here's two dollars --I've got feelings which aro not entirely dead--
I'or this little girl and mother, suffering for the want of brood."
"Here's it dnlbu•." "lim'e's another." And they all chipped in their ,,hate,
And they planked the ringing metal down upon the counter there.
Then tho spokesman took a golden double -eagle from his belt,
Softly stepped from bar to counter, and beside the sleeper knelt ; •
Took the "two bits" from hor fingers ; changed her silver piece for gold.
"See there, boys ; the girl is dreaming." Down her cheeks the teer.rlrop; rolled.
One by one tho swarthy minors passed in silence to the street.
Gently we woke tho sleep, but she started to her fiat
\Vith a :lazed and strange expremion, saying, "Oh ! I thought Was true !
Ma was well, and wo were happy ; round our door -stem, roses grow.
We hail everything we :wanted, food euough, and clothes to wear ;
And my lutnd burns where an augol touched it soft wii.11 iiss;ora fair.''
Au oho looked and saw the money in hor fingers glistening bright,
"Well, now, 21111 has long been praying, but she won't believe me quite,
How you've sent 'way up to heaven, whore the golden treasures are,
And have also got 00 angel clerking at your eroeery bar."
That's a Chrietines story, stranger, which I thought you'd like to bear ;
True to fact and human nature, pointing out one's duty clear.
helico to matters of subscription you will eco that I'm alive ;
Just mark ori that dollar, stranger, I think I'll make it fivo.
