HELP BETTER THAN tltti
I have seen t blind man walking
Along the busy street;
I have heard the people talking
As they watched his stumbllti; feet
I have marked the words of pit
As I boy saw 111 in pass along.
Through the over-crowded city.
'Mid the ever-busy throng.
And I've seen the bright eved school-boy
lieayo bis brothers at their play,
To help the sightless stranger
Across tbe busy-way.
Ahl the pity was not worthless,
Though It lent no kindly hand,
But that little help outvalued
All tbe pity In the land.
I hare seen the little orphan
Teft without a mother's care
I have heard the words ofsorrotv
That the neighbors had to spare;
I have known them say, "The poor-house
Is Just meant for bii.:Ii as she;"
And (though very sorry for her),
"Well, she hat no claim nn niej"
And I've seen the toiling widow,
With children half a score,
Take the little lonely orphan
To her hospitable door.
There were fifty folks who pitfrd,
Tht re was only one to aid,
But the one excelled the fifty,
As the sun excels tbe shade.
I have heard the school boy sighing
O'er his lessons homo from school
I have seen him vainly trying
To master some new rule;
I have marked the words of pity
That his brothers lips supplied,
And I've seen the dewy teardrop
That yet remained undried.
Then I've seen his mother gently
Take hisbltfader covered shite,.
And with loving effort help him
Make his crooked answers straight.
And that pity, though a brother's,
Was forgotten In a day,
But that loving help of mother
Will never pass away,
I have seen si little two-year old
Stand crying by a brook,
And I've marked a country maiden
Deep buried In a book;
And I have known her rise up quickly,
Lay the treasured book aside,
Lilt tbe little fellow gently '
O'er tbe water clear and wide
And I've seen the merry sunshine
Light up his face at last;
Which If she had only pitieii
Would have still been overcast.
OhI let the pity lead to action,
For the world is full of need;
There are many eyes that water,'
., There are many hearts that bleed,
There are wounds that all want binding,
There are feet that go astray,
There are tears all hot and blinding
Tbiit nu'r. hands can wipn away;
For the blind man on the causeway,
The orphan with bis fears,
The school boy in his troubles,
And the baby in bis tears,
Are all like a thousand others
Whom' ip help if we but try,
He shall "scatter seei'i's of kindness
For the reaping by and by."
Let us ever act as brothers,
Ne'er with pity be content,
Always doing good to others
Both in action and intent,
ThoUgh the pity may be useful,
Tis but little if 'tis all,
And the smallest piece of needed help
Is better than it all.
A WR0N& MIMING.
HY IIATTIE.
"Do not feel to budly, Edward: ter
baps something will turn up in onr lavor
tslore loug 1 do not believe we are co-
ug to be Jelt to starve. I trust you will
noon get work."
There are more applicants than
laces, replied tbe downcast bunband.
You kuow bow bard I havo tried tbe
it two weeks."
"I know, dear; but your Tery next ef.
fori may meet with success."
Edward Spellman raided bis bead from
tbe table where it bad lain some time .and
said with a little mora spirit
"Perhaps so; I will t least try once
more.
Donning his hat and coat, he went in-
the street. He bad not cone a creat
way wheu be met a farmer with a load of
apples, who stopped his team and asked
bltn if be would not buy some of tbe
frniL
'No," replied Spellman; "I am out of
work and can buy nothing until I can get
Jib."
What kind of work can yon do?"
"I was raised as a firmer, but for tbe
ait five years have been at work in a
shop in this city. But owing to the bard
rue, tbe bo-s cannot get as many jobs
as he used to, and bag been obliged to
dispense with some of bia help,"
"Would you like to get a place to work
on a fium?"
l etter . tb&n anything else. I
have bten caged up in a shop so long
that lt would be a preut relief io i to ,
thu t onulry once more."
"Well, if you can couu well reci m
mended, I do not donhl but y u can gt
h Hifualinu to wurk for n gentleman farm
er u bo only speudn bUft-mmrrs lu tbe
country. Ho in in want of a go l trusty
baud lo ilo tbe u;,rd. uinu and liuht wnrk
. t, j
, on lh nl.iw "
"Wnerrdoea be live?"
"Oh, about fiye miles out of the city.
Iam going outbome in about two bnurs,
aud you chu ride out with me to tea Mm,
if you wish. I)o right in this spot at the
end of that time, aud I will come along
and take yon in."
"All right, I will be here B'lt firat,
what ngfs will be give?"
'H.ve you a family?"
"Yea, wife nnd two children."
"Well, I tbiuk be would .give you
twenty or twenty.flve dolUria month,
bonae-rent, and a small garden."
Tbe farmer then drovn ulong, and
8pellmtn relumed home to tell bis wifi
thai he bad at least a place in view. She
was dcligbtod with the idea of going ioto
tbe country to live, and told him to bo
sure to tnake a bargain with tho man.
Before ttigbt tbe bargalh war) closed.
Spellman liked It all verywtll except tbe
bouse be wns to live in. 11 was a little
atoryand-a-half building, wllh very small
rooms; and what was wbrae than nil the
i"st, another family occupied a portion
of it. Ever Since be was married and
lited In the city be bad rented a fino
tenement bouse, villi la'ge, blcjll looms,
and now to move bis family Into n lint
was not n pleasant thing io contemplate.
At Ibe time bo rni married, six years be
fore, be bad one thousand dollars in
money, nnd bU wife five hundred dol
lars. This money tbpy Invented in furn
iture, a Ave hundred dollar piano, mid
other rxpcKsivo articles. Bii they bad
been living in a Btjle that poorly accord
ed with tbeir meaus. Tbe money bo
earned wns spent ad fast as It wns drip;
no that as soon ai he slopped work be
was short of funds. But now, even when
he conld get work, wbicb ho had so much
desired, a bog-bear was still in tbe 'ffaTi
The house which was to He furnished
Ibem wns not large enough to bold their
fnrnitnre, and as for getting the plauo
into one of IhrSo small rooms, it was
