THE BEGGAR BOY.
BY MRS, ANN S, STEPHENS,

by MhSs ANN os oIEfHENS'
The cold wind moaned along the street;
The keen, sharp frost came bitingly,
To sting his small uncovered feet,
As the poor beggar boy crept by.
They sat together-the widow and her boy
wretched, hungry and desolate. A few pine
shavings had just sunk into handful of black
ashes on the broken hearth, and one lingering
spark Of fire darling like tiny serpent through
them, was all the promise of warmth afforded
by that yawning and empty fire place. Yet the
day was bitterly cold; the bleak wind gushed
down the chimney, scattering the ashes over the
floor with each chill blast. 1t came through the
crevices and pierced the ill-ftted windows, till
the snow, which lay embarked against the glass,
drified through from the area and lay in ridges
all around the sash. The boy had been crouch.
ing close 10 his mother, and, as the fire went
out, she drew him nearer to her side and strove
to shelter him beneath the old shawl which but
scantily protected her own shoulders. The boy
nestled to her bosom for a moment, but it was
not to seek shelter from the cold. The poor
woman felt his arms girding her waist with an
affectionate clasp, and his warm lips were press
ed to her cheek again and again, till the tears
that stood half frozen there vanished beneath
the loving caress. Alas, for the widow! save
those young lips there was no warmth in the
world for her!
Smother, are you very hungryl" inquired
the boy. The winter twilight filled the room
or the pale, lamished face of that poor woman
had been answer enough. She turned away
her head and murmured,
"No-not very"
"Oh mother" cried the boy, drawing back
his head and looking in her face through the
dim light, "if we could but get shiling-one
little shilling-I saw four pigs feet lying close
by the door at the grocery this morning: one ol
them was almost out on the pavement. You
don't know how tried to earn shilling or six.
pence, or only three cents, that might bring
one for your supper: but no one would give me
work, and you told me not to beg"
The poor mother burst into tears, and kissee
the face lifted with such touching earnestness tc
hers,
"Your father little thought his son-his anc
mine, would ever have thoughts of begging
she said mourn(ully.
"But he did not know how hungry we should
be-" said The lad meekly, while his eyes droop
ed beneath their thick lashes, and look o
shame stole over his features, for he understood
his mothers words as a reproach. "He had no

DEATH.-DeaIh is mystery. We know that
we shall ere long close our eyes onall subIunary
objects, but the time and manner of our death
we cannot ioresee. Here one falls in his full
strength. The aged are passed by, and the turf
is upheaved for the young and beautiful. Our
neighbor falleth by our side, just as we learned
10 appreciate his worth. A friend sinks in our
arms, as we take him TO our bosom. YET these
of mortality fail 10 leave suitable i'm
pressions on our minds.
We follow our friends to the grave, and turn
as anxious as ever TO engage in the business and
turmoil of life. Tomorrow we forget the plea
SAINT smile and cheerful voice, and put away
from our minds the thought OF our own mortal
hy. Thus We are blinded; but little as we dwell
upon it, the day approaches when our voices
will be hushed, our eyes closed, our lips refuse
to do their office. Blessed shall we be, if we
live for another world, by cherishing right feel.

Hope md Strive.

Bear on, o Friend, e'en mid thy fears;
The hope may yet be thine,
Though hope deferred thrO' weary years
Hath made thy spirit pine:
Though clouds are dark above thy head,
And shadows dim thy day
Tho disappointments round thee spread
Oh! yet bear on thy way!
Through pain and penury, want and care,
Bear up thy heart against despair.
Bear on! though friends and kin forsako,
Though slander hurl her dart,
Do thou frmer purpose take,
Tokeep thee pure in heart!
Dark malice and mean envy dare
Assail with Upas tongue;
Yet innocence is strong to bear
The weight against it flung.
And in this faith, through every i'll,
Oh, learn TO suffer and be still.
Bear on! it is not always night
The morn must break at last
And thou must hail as clear a light
As o'er thy youth was cast
Few are thy summers yet, Oh then
Bid thy wronged heart hope on;
And, for the sake of what hath been,
Thy need shall yet be won!
With Truth undim'd within thy breast,
Bear on! and leave to God the rest!

In the Bloom of her Beauty she Died,

BY G. B. WALLIS.
In the bloom of her beauty she died,
Far away, and no loved ones were near
To sing her across the dark tide,
And through the dark valley of fear.
Yet strong in that hope of the soul,
OF blisslul reunion above,
Her spirit passed off to its goal,
Though the smile still remained of its love.
She had smiled at the thought of alarm
The shadow of death had no fears,
Where the angel would lead, without harm,
That had led through the valley of tears.
And we know not that ere the warm glow
Of bliss left her lips and her eye,
That her mission had ended below
That her spirit had gone to the sky.
In the bloom of her beauty she died,
Yet why should we mourn DER her youth,
Ere lile's vain delusions had tried
Her hearts full devotion and truth

a darker shade than the former. It is The com.
