And Utters for the purpose worn.
Bui surely Poverty has not
A sadder need than this,—to wear
A mask fllijl meaner than her lov,
Compassion's scanty food to share.
It may be that you err to giro
What will but tempt to further spoil,
Those who in low content would live
On theft of other's time and toil T
Yet sickness may have broke or bent
The active framn and vigorous will,
Or hard occasion m prevent
Their exercise of humble skill.
It may be that the suppliant's life,
Ha* lain on many an evil way
Of foul delight and brutal strife,
And lawless deeds that shun the day.
But how can-any gauge of yours
The depth of that temptation try ■
What man resists, what mao endures,
Is open lo one only Eye
Why not believe the homely lette:,
That all you give n ill God restore 7
The poor may deserve it better
And sorely, surely, want it Wore.
Let but tiie rich man do his part,
And whatsoe'er Iho issue bo,
To those who ask, his answering heart
Will gain and grow in sympathy.

A GAME ECU A HEART.
A TALE OF THE FIFTEENTH CENTDRY.
MV W. 11. LORItN'G.
Tho .day was drawing to a close, and the
shadows of the trees were stretching far to
the eastward, over the bronzed greensward
of a rural French landscape, as two horse
men, dusty and travel soiled, slowly pursued
their way along a sandy road that skirted the
edges of a walnut wood. Both of the horse
men were armed cap-a-pie, and bestrode
powerful black destnes, or war horses, but
Ihoush the points of the animals showed good
blood, their condition also betokened severe
service. They were thin in flesh, and moved
along with drooping crests, dragging their feel
as if scarcely able to support their heavy fur
niture, and the ponderous weight of their ri
der? armor. Both Knights, for such they
were, carried their helmets slung at their sad
dle hows, and wore in their stead, riding-caps
of velvet. Their lances had been abandoned,
but their heavy two handed swords, suspended
in broad baldrics, bung behind them, the grip
appearing above the right shoulder, and 'he
point descending far below the spur. The
older and stouter of the two .cavaliers was
sheathed in black armor, but others than
travel stains dimmed its surface. It was
dinted with sword strokes, and hereeod there
slams of a deeper hue than rust seemed to In
dicate that the wearer had recently been ex
posed to deadly peril.
The ntfrnor of his companion, while lighter,
was far more elegant and'cosily. It was-of
fine Milan steel, curiously inlpid with gold,
and as light as prudence warranted for, de
fence. Such a harness seemed belter fitted
for the lilting yard than the battle-field,'and
the light and elegantly formed wearer fur a
joust at the barrier, than a charge on the
plain. Yet he bore himself right,gallantly,
in spite of the traces of fatigue and suffering
that marked his features. His armor, liktj
that of his companion, showed hard usage,
and while he guided his courser gracefully
with'his right, his bridle hand .rested in a
sling. '■ ,'
“ By our lady of Paris ?” said he, “ I can
not endure this much longer, and methinks
Dunois, it were belter td give up all hopes of

Smiling a welcome Id knightly guests,
stood".a maiden, the.duughler pf. the host,
lovelier titan any lady Charles ha.ct ever be
hold. Her fair hair, adorned with pearls fell
in gold waves upon her ivory shoulders;
her rich but chaste attire displayed the ex
quisite model of her form, while her manner
at once animated pud high bred, was as
charming as her. beauty. At the table, after
the first cravings of the appetite were salia
ted, and while Dunois entertained the lord of
the castle with a description of the battle, the
wounded king discoursed of minstrelsy, and
love and tournaments to his fair young host
ess, displaying all the courtly graces that he
possessed lo perfection, yet ever and nnon
ihe fair one turned to listen lo the narrative
of Duuois,
“ And so the king has fled!” she said, with
flashing eyes. “ Better he had fallen on the
field. It is true then, that he loves minstrelsy
and tourneys bolter than the royal life of the
camp and field.”'
“ Not so, fair lady,” said Dunois. “He
did his devoir like a gallqnl knight, charging
in the .the fray. I myself saw hjs
plumage shorn from his crest, and hiipself
\younded.. IliSj wish was to perish with his
body-guard, but there were those around .him
who s.eized his bridle-reins, and- forced him
from the field.’*
“ And where is he now I” cried Agnes—far
that was the' hiaiden’s name.
“ We know nut interposed the }ting, has
lily, 111 wo were separated from the royal train.
But he is doubtless safe.”
“ Heaven be praised for that I” said, the
lord of the castle.
“ Amen !” responded the lady.
During the evening, Charles attached him*
self to the fair Agees, but found, il.difficull, 10
engross her attention ; ,ihp handsomer ana
manlier Dunois seemed constantly,, lo divert
her eyas and thoughts. .He therefore,.finally
pleaded hjs wound and fatigues.as an apology
for retiring, and afraid lo leave Dunpis ( behiod
