“ It la Hard to be Old and Poor .”
; BtStiLLIAM KIHO S4BII*.
The following w« sugganted by the expression of a vlr
tuoniold man. much worh with the' fatigues of life and
tottering wearily toward the grave, who win called npon
to pay a tax to the nation for the privilege of retaining his
meagre ipostesqiona, which were scarcely sufficient to se
cure for hint a final respect. While the reflective tear fil
led his gge-dimtped eye when he was told he must pay the
amount.;:he uttered the heartfelt words, •* It is hard to be
old «uid|poos.”,
Hc4 tearfully tender wore whispered the word*
By a trembling, wearied sire.
Andtbe;trees were bare
‘By the bleak north air— s
Xo warble was beard from the May-song birds,
■> And we wit by the heorthwood fire.
“ It ie hard to be old and poor,” he said.
And he k«#nly felt the smart,
Tor a rate, that day,
:M'os he colled to pny—
Tbein he gently bowed his palsied head ~
To rest it near my heart.
“ It; is har4 to bo old and poor,” he sighed,
“ For the world will take no thought”—
I strobed with care
Hid silvery hair— .
“The wise and good from want haw died,
And kindness must be bought.”
It Is hart! to be old and poor,” be wept.
And as virtue warmed his breast,
With trembling voice
'Said he Eej oice,
My buy, in- youth, and now accept
My guide-r-my last request.”
“Itis hard to be bid and poor;'' bat know.
True wealth is of the heart,
And ail the store
Of gold, of lore,
With boflom vile, is but a show ■
To rear some victims art.
“ It is .hard to be old nui poor,” ’tls truth, .
Three titucs thou’ art my years—
: 'Twillbe my pride
■ To.call thee guide ;
We smiled, o’er joys of a well-spent youth.
And dried our mutual tears.
Xlie Worn Wcdtling-Iliug.
Your wedding-ting wears thin, dear wife; ah, summers
not a. few. ;
Since I pint it on your finger first, have passed over me
and you,
And, love, What changes wo have seen—what cares and
pleasures, too—
Since you became my own dear wife, wbeb this old ring
was new.:
\O, blessiiisu cm jhat happy Cay, the happiest of my life.
When, thanks; to God, your low, «*eet “ Yes” made you
riiy loving wife.
Yonr heart wUl’say the some, I know: that day's as dear
to you—
That day ;that made mo yours, dear wife, when this old
ring was new,
llow well do I remember now, your young, sweet Ewe th.st
day;
How fair yon. were—how dear you were—my tongue coull
hardly say j
Nor how j doted on yon; all! how proud I was of yon;
But did I lore you more than now, when this old ring was
new!
yCo-rno; po fairer were you then than at this hour to me.
And dear as life to me this day, how could you dearer be ?
As sweet' your fu.e might be that day as now it is, 'tin true,
But did I know your heart as well wheu this old ring was
new?
01 partner of ray gladness, wife, what care, what grief Is
there * ' ■
For mo you Would not bravely face—with me you would
not share ? ,
0! what a weary want had every day, if wanting yen— 1
Wanting the loin that God made mine when tin's old ring
- ww’oew.i-1 I
The past it sweetness still onr memories treasure
• yet;
The grkft wVye borne—together borne—we Would not

« J eat/hever forgive him, never ?”
So kppk|' George Stanton, as he rested
his iiamisi firmly on bis knees, and shook
his that slow, emphatic motion
which demotes a strong effort of the wi]l.
Njeir hyjhim sat his sister Eliza. George
was youbg—only five-and-twenty—while
Shb was a widow, and
had returned to the old home for a season,
where her younger brother held possession.
1 it,” the young man added, as
he hbw curiously his sister regard
ed Jimr--and be closed his hands upon his
knees, us though he would fortify his res
olution*. '
’ “ A're yen speaking of Caleb Bradford ?”
bu» as&
71 lY&W- ■ . ■■ - k
‘/ Bath I thought he was one of your
most iotibjate friends.”
‘‘ißnihsis 7' V
he was your .confidential
companion”
‘‘•So'iieibas been.”
1 thonght he had loved you, ft nd
that ybhhad loved tom ” 1.7,. „
■-"M i hiive loved him, said George. He
spoke riglit feelingly, though a little pet
ulantly, :fbr there was something to the
calm; deep tone and searching gaze of his
sister that seemed to trouble hup* . .
‘<*Then tell' me, iny broiher, Caleb
can' have done that should affect
you,j? urged Eliza. ■- x -7 ;
“He has trampled upop insr-whns
abutted toy eonfideoce—he his proved
[independent in everything.]
treacherous !” cried xthe youth, growing
indignant with his own warmth of feeling.
“ But what has he done ?” asked the
sister, in the same quiet t6ne. “What
has been his sin ?”
“ Why he has abased me—he has spo
ken very ill of me. In- fact he has spoken
of me as no friend would speak of ano
ther; and he has done'this, too, in the
presence of those who never liked me any
too well.”
“But this is not all,” said Eliza, “ the
trouble could not have commenced here.
He must have had somc occasion for speak-
ing these evil things.”
“ That is so,” returned the brother, with
an effort to feel as bitter as possible. “The
first blow was full as keen, though not so
broad and palpable. I asked him to lend
me bis span of horses, to ' take Clara and
the baby over to Winfield, and he told me
t|iey were not fit to drive, lie said; he
would rather hire a dozen burses for me
than let his team go. So I went and got
a horse and wagon at the jivery stable. —
Of course I should have said nothing of
this ; but on the evening of that very
dark day he let the team to John Jackson
—and when I spoke to him about it he
intimated that it was none of my business
to question his motives.”
“ In all probability,” suggested Eliza,
“ when you spoko to Caleb on the subject
you did not speak very kindly.”
“ I don’t know about that,”,said George,
with a knod of the head.
“I can guess pietty nearly how you
spoio,” the sister rejoined.
“ Never mind,” said the youth It is
enough for me to know what transpired,
I want nothing more to do with him My
mind is made up to that.
Eliza pondered a few moments, her eye
resting upon her brother, and her foot
patting upon the floor, and then she said,
very quietly —
“ You’ll forget all this in a little while,
George.”
“Yo’u think so, do you?’’
I know it.”
“Then I hope you’ll watch patiently
for the result.”
“There is no need of my watching
very narrowly for it will come soon
enough.”
George seemed at first inclined to be
very indignant at being thus doubted;
but when he met the calm look of his
sister, so full of reason aud confidence, he.
curbed his impatience.
“ Eliza,” he said, quite earnestly, “ do
you think I don’t know what I say ?”
“ Oh, you know that well enou-h ; and
you know what you mean, too,” replied
the sister, with a smile. “ But,” she ad
ded, “ you don’t know your own soul yet.”
“ What do you mean by that.”
“ I’ll tell you at some futuic time.”
“ Tell me now.”
“ No, not now, but George I may tqll
you in a few days.”
• “ I suppose you will tell me something
wonderful.” This was spoken in a tone
which was intended for a very sarcastic
one. But the sister smiled aud shook
hex head, and saijl,—
I shall not aim to give you any dan
gerous shock, my brother, only to help
1 your own reason. However, wo won’t
! sav,anv more now, for T must help Clara
(■ in the kitchen.”
George went away shaking his head,
and inwardly declaring that he would
never forgive Caleb Bradford in the world,
while Eliza went smiling and nodding, for
she felt that she knew her brother belter
than he knew himself.
It was something new for George Stan
ton to carry enmity in his bosom—and es
pecially enmity against one whom he hud
loved so well. As such a state was not
natural to him it became necessary to the
continuance of the enmity that he should
nourish it, and in doing this be robbed
his own soifl of its joys. Twice, he met
Caleb Bradford, but. he would not speak
to him. In the evening he was careful to
avoid every place where Caleb was in the
lubit of calling; so that, by the time he
reached his home, he began to /eel like a
criminal. Uo almost wished that bis old
friend would come and see him, and ask
to make up; but he could not take the in
itiatory step himself, —0, no.
On the afternoon of the third day Eliza
saw her brother in the pirlor, and she
went and sat down by his side.
. “ Well,” she said, at the same time lay
ing her hand upon his arm how do you
prosper ?” 7
A “ What do you mean Eliza ?” "
“How do you come on wiihyour hatred
of Caleb Bradford ??’ , ; > 7
“ Hatred ? 1 do not hate bun/’ ; A .
: “ Ah—4 thought that by thb Mmn you
would have come to hate aim with a per
fect hatred.”
“ You needn’t tryto piny with toe in
that way, Eliza, i kootr what you mean.

x£di.?’7l7l7^^
7 f Eoohi do you sp§ak so
to me ?” And as the sister said this she
took her; brother’s hand, and looked up
into Tu? facb wlth a kindly smile. « Come

Now tell me—is it not vetyiunpleasant to
be at enmity with Caleb Bradford ?"
George did not hesitateidng; for he had
confidence in his siater, ; and he knew,
moreover, that she could jead his feelings
about as well as he could tell, them. And,
furthermore, she bad been As; a mother to
him, in love and care, for several years, so
be yielded muoh to her on that account.
“ Of course it is'unpleasant,” he said.
“ Then why do you bear ft ?” asked the
sister. !- I
“ Because I cannot help! it,” returned
George. J
“ Yes, you can help it |A word from
you will heal all. Why should you suffer,
then ?” -r •
“ Ah,” replied the young man, very v
philosophically, “there arc some duties in
life which are by no means pleasant ones.”
“ And you think this hatred of your’
friend is one of them ?” ;J
“He is no friend of mine—he is a
friend no longer.”
“And still I’ll warrant yon he has not
changed a particle,” said ’Eliza, with a
change «ef look and tone which fastened
her brother's attention. f* fie is the same
mau you have loved so loag,| and his heart
has not varied in its instincjts or its affec-
tions.”
“ Still he has wronged me,” returned
George.
“ llow many times ?” t ;
The yoaug man looked up with puzzled
expression. ’ !
“ How many times?” he. repeated.—
“ Why—he has proved false, and that is
enough.”
Eliza looked a$ her brother a few mo
ments, and then ‘said, in.altoue and with
an expression ail of love anijl kindness—
“My dear brother, T tVish you would
listen to mo one moment,'for T want to
give you a lesson in social Bfe which may
be of advantage to you. ; You know 1
would not tease you, and thftt I would only
speali for your benefit. ' certainly
feel that.” 5
“ Of course I do,” responded the youth
frankly. ; S
“ Then you will be free aud sincere, and
answer me after the dictates of your own
instincts?” ij
“Yes,” : li;
“Thank you, brother. : Abd now, just
tell me this : How many deeds of kind
ness and love has Caleb Bradford done to
ward you?” ; i
“ What do you mean ?’* asked George,
somewhat perplexed. >
“ I mean just what I say,” returned
Eliza. “ I mean not a thought beyond
the simple words of my language. How
many deeds qf love and(k|qduess has he
done, and how many hours jbf pure joy has
he afforded you ?” ' i
George was silent. |
“ Have they not been many ?” pursued
the sister.
“Why—yes—l suppose they have,”
the young man finally answered, with some
reluctance. ! I
“ Aye,” added Eliza, warmly, “ I know
they have. I know thatjfpr much pleas
ure you have been indebted to him, and
that he has loved you welf |nd truly. He
has done this for years —for long years he
has been true and faithful,; has he not?”
“ Yes/' 17
“ And now—how muchleviljhas he done
you? How many deeds haahe donCto
harm you?”
George did not answer/H
“ I shall hare to speak' for you,” Eliza
said speaking with more ■ earnestness as
she proceeded. “Just Clunk of it —Al-
lowing that Caleb has done all that you
accuse him of haring done; and what does
it amount to! To just- this: Ho has
given you ten thousands blessings, and
with them bas come opf dittle deed of
evil. He has bestowed iipon you a thou
sand joys, and he has given you one pang.
And for one dark cloud that has by chance
succeeded the long season of brightness,
you would cask him off! i! lake the man

but wbo yet, for the foist pain, gives’ a

With these words Eliza arose and left
the room, and George was left alone.—
Awhile he aat upon the sofa, with his heed
bent,and then he got up and paced the
floor a few minutes. It did not take him
long to understand what his sister meant,
nor did it take long for him to discover
and appreciate its truth; he did this as
she spoke, for it had appealed to the judg
ment of his own sOuI. He only stopped
to consider, how he should qieet Caleb
Bradford; and at length he had decided
that point. He saw, ,now that hissenses
were free, that the cause of the trouble
had been very slight, and he.meant that
it should be removed without much show,
x That very morning, as George .stepped
put from the Post office, he saw Caleb
Bradford coming up the street, fie had
made up his mind and hettrould not flinch,
fie meant to try the experiment at any
rate. So, as his old friend oamo
put forth his hand and smiled. Caleb
grasped it in a moment, and smiled itt fe
turn. ' "■ ■ x ■
“We wont wait to explain notr,“ said
George, shaking the hand he held wurilaly.
“ No,” replied with
heartiness in his grasp.
And George’s oye grcw nvbiat.
And Caleb’s eye, grew moist.
Aye —for their hearts were as tree Mid
warm as ever, and their instincts asefdb
and sure, —only a little mote in the: Jets*
