SHARING,
Is thy cruse of comfort wasting?
and share it with another,
And through all the years of famine
it shall serve thee and thy brother.
Love divine will fill thy storehouse, or
thy handful still renew;
Scanty fare for one will often make a
royal meal for two:
For the heart grows rich in giving;
its wealth is living grain:
Seeds that mildew in the garner, scat-
tered fill with gold the plain,

their boy, Gilbert, was ten
years old) they were walking home,

Mrs, Carlowe had always a re-

Carlowe had rejoined his parents in
Paris, and had been living there with
them. That he should have neglected |
his professional studies for five years |
and then taken to them with renewed |
ardor was set down to his eccentricity. |
About the time I began my studies, 1
