Such n, is practiced in the Isfrmaries of Berlin,

Give me three Grains Of Corn,
Mother.
BY MRS. NJ. A. EDMOND.

1.-THE above words were the last request
Of an Irish lad to his mother, as he was
dying from starvation. She found three
grains in corner OF his ragged jacket, and
gave them to him. 1t was all she had the
whole family were perishing from starva-
ton
Give me three grains of corn, mother,
Only three grains Of corn,
1t will keep the little life have
Till the coming Of the morn.
nm d ing OF hunger and cold, mother,
Dying OF hunger and cold,
And half the agony OF such death,
| My lips have never told.
( 1t has gnawed like wolf at my heart mother
! A wolf that is fierce for blood,
! All the livelong day, and the night beside,
| Gnawing for lack of food
l dreamed of bread in my sleep, mother,
| And the sight was heaven to see;
l woke with an eager famishing lip,
But you had 10 bread for me-
How could look to you, mother,
How could look to you,
For bread to give your starving boy,
When you were starving, too?
For read the famine in your cheek
Anu IN your eye SO Wllu,
And felt il in your bony hand
As you laid it on your child.
The Queen has lands and gold, mother,
The Queen has lands and gold;
While you were forced to your empty breast
A skeleton babe to hold
A babe that is dying Of want, mother,
AS am dying now,
With a CHASTITY look in its sunken eye,
And famine upon its brow.
What has poor Ireland done, mother,
What has poor Ireland done,
That the world looks on and sees us starve,
Perishing one by one.
Do the men of England care not, mother,
The great men and the high,
For the suffering sons Of Erin's Isle,
Whether they live or die
There is many brave heart here, mother,
Dying of want and cold,
While only across the channel, mother
Are many that roll in gold.
There are rich and proud men there, mother
With wondrous wealth TO view,
And the bread they fling their dogs to- ght,
Would give me life and you
Come nearer to my side, mother,
Come nearer to my side,
And hold me fondly as you held
My father when he died.
Quick, for cannot see you, mother,
My breath is almost gone,
Mother dear mother ere die,
Give me three grains Of corn

p- One of the wealthy merchants
Of Boston, whose death the past year
was SO universally mourned, often told
his irieuds an anecdote which occurred
in his own experience, and which was
recommended to all those who desired
to enjoy serene old age, without allow
ing their wealth to disturb their peace
of mind. lie said that when he had
obtained his fortune, he found he began
to grow uneasy about his pecuniary af-
fairs, and one night when he was about
sixty years of age, his sleep was disturb
ed by unpleasant thoughts respecting
some shipments he had just made. In
the morning, he said to himself, "This
will never do if I allow such thoughts
to gain the mastery over me, must
bid farewell to peace all my life. l will
stop this brood Of care at once, and at
a single blow" Accordingly, he went
to his counting room, and upon examin-
alton found he had thirty thousand dol
lars in money on hand He made out
a list of his relatives and others he de-
sired to aid, and before he went to bed
again he had given away every dollar OF
the thirty thousand. He said he slept
we'll that night, and for long time
after his dreams were not disturbed
by anxious thoughts about bis vessels
or property Boston Ifsas.
