valuable and extensive annual publications are also
issued by them, the United States Digest and the

CAST IN THY MITE.

He who gives little from his store,
If little be his means,
Treads on as far the heavenward shore,
As he who gives ten times the more,
If ten times more he gains.
He may be useful here, who would,
And walk within zone oflight;
There is treasury ofgood-
Cast in thy mite.
Thou may'st not have one piece Of gold
To bless the poor mans palm;
But angels will with JOY behold,
If thou hast words which can DO told
His troubled heart 10 calm;
Forkind words are as honeyed streams,
And he the walker Of the sod
Who gives them TO his brother. seems
Amessenger from God.
There are abuses deep and loud,
Hoarse voices shrieking Bread.
And there are noble spirits how'd,
And forms that flirt amoIg the crowd
Like phantoms from the dead.
Crush but one atom of abuse,
Stay but a particle ofsin,
And God will sanc,iiy the use
Of all thy powers therein.
And If thy brother weaker be,
IL folly marks his path;
And II that thou be folly free,
If knowledge clingeth unto thee,
Give not contempt nor wrath;
But from the garner of thy worth,
And from thy store oftruth and light,
To serve thy brothers. wants on earth,
Cast in thy mite.
