THE PAUPER'S DEATH-BED.
BIZ MRS. soUrHEY.
Tread soflly-bow the head
In reyerent silence bow
No passing bell doth toll
Yet an immortal soul
Is passing now.
Stranger! however great, -
With lowly reverence bow;
There's one in that poor she'd agf
One by that paltry bed
Greater than thou.
Beneath that beggar's roof,
Lo! death does keep his state;
Enter-no crowds attend
Enter-no guards defend
This palace gate.
That pavement, damp and cold,
No smiling courtiers tread;
One silent woman stands,
Lifting with meagre hands
dying head.
No mingling voices sound
An infant wall alone;
A sob suppress'd-agen
That short deep gasp, and then
The parting groan.
Oh change-Oh! wondrous change
Burst are the prison bars
This moment there, so low,
So agonized. and now
Beyond the stars!
Oh! change -stupendous change!
There lies the soulless clod; 1921
The Sun eternal breaks U asa
The new immortal wakes
Wakes with his God.

"Oh nc, sir, worse than that, he fell among the
slain. fighting like a hero"

Bring him in" let me look at my noble boy"
