THE POOR MAN TO HIS DEAD CHILD.

lie POOR MAN TO HIS DEAD CHILD.
Yes, lie thou there, my little one,
The death dew S on thy brow,
Thy eyes are closed to flower and sun,
Thy pulse is quiet now.
No more thou'll ask, my famished boy,
For bread with waiting cry,
When I'd have given my flesh with joy,
But bread could not buy.
Poor child thy sharp, cold features speak
OF pain, and want, and care,
Oft did the tear drops on thy cheek
Freeze in the biting air.
But colder than the keenest wind,
Were human hearts to thee,
Because, though claiming human kind,
Thy lot was poverty.
The proud ones say It's heavens award
They but kind heaven obey,
To keep the gifts of nature barrd
From those who cannot pay.
NV child, It's sadly sweet to think
Thoult never hunger more,
Nor gaze with wistlul eye, yet shrink
From breads inviting store.
But, oh my faded flower, for this
Was thy young being given,
To meet with nought but wretchedness,
And frowns from earth and heaven?
Was this the pledge ofcradled smile
That spoke the happy dream,
And gave NE, worn with pain and toll,
OF passing bliss CLEAN?
And yet, mayhap, thy fate is bless'd
And should rather JOY
That thy young heart the woes have miss
That wait the poor mans boy.
The cold repulse, the CALLING sneer,
That drives to theft and shame
The madning thoughts the soul that scar,
The scorn'd and blghted name.
o, yes; or haply worse than all,
Thou might'st have lived TO be
A servile, crouching. flattering thral
At some wealthdagon's knee
Than this, thy eyes I'd rather close
On all thou nights have seen,
All stricken through with many woes
As thy young heart hath been,

TURKISH OrrNIoNs OF EURoPEAss-A sin-
gular story was related TO me, which proves
the truth of what have before stated, of tho
feelings of the Turks towards the Franks re-
specting their place Of worship The clock in
one of the mosques was out Of order and the
skill of an European was required to arrange it,
but the deflemcnt and pollution of his presence
were objected to. Atchgth some one inquired
how the necessary materials to build and reoar
the mosque had been brought in. "By donkeys
shod," was the reply. "Then let the infdel,
the dog, be driven in with them" And in such
manner did the poor clockmaker make his
entrance. --NarchionesS Of Londonderrys
