Alas for him whose simple soul,
garden cherished by the sun,
Lies open to the public way,
For every foot to tread upon.
And whether In q wRnton mood,
Or by selfish purpose led,
Each passer tramples on the verge
Where all his tende.est feelings spread.
And then his wounded nature feels
What his alone can understand
The flower that's broken by the heel
Can ne'er be mended BY the hand.
From gentle instinct taught to love
The meanest creature Of his race,
lie took his image Of the World
When God was shining in his face;
Nor dreamed that earth could wear Cross,
Save, as it fell, while glory blazed,
The MONDAY Shadows of Christ,
With arms in Benediction raised.
And not till bleeding from the world,
He learns the heartless world 1t is;
That rude souls the gentler cruSh,
And All are rude to such as his.
Though turning to his fellow-men,
With hope in each friend to meet,
lie stands as lonely as tree
Upon n city's stony street;
For, ever to open hand,
The per feet trust, the guileless air,
Not even Charity is kind,
And Man hood doubts Man is thore
Then, shrinking stricken to himself,
With silent grieving desolate,
He lives q coward TO the wind.
And fears the things he cannot hate.
There is sinking Of his soul,
ASudden shock of age and care;
As one who in q mirror sees
The first gray streaking Of his hair.
And growing tremulous with dread.
OF what one word, one look may be-
He dares not SeeA to make friend,
Lest love should die OF jealousy.
Thus, friendless and alone he goes,
To none prize. to all a prey;
Like watOr dripping on rock,
BY trifes wears his life away.
And yet there Is an inward light
To keep his soul from growing dark,
Though which his natures incense breaks,
Like music breaking from the lark;
For, though the world sweeps coldly by,
Or pauses but to cast dart,
There's something cannot chill nor die
His grand simplicity Of fheart!

that journal knows a number of people who
spend annually twice the amount of the in

Perhaps the Brooklyn editor is right. for all
taxable incomes have strangely fallen off
since the tax was instituted, and they are
not likely to increase while the "outgoes"
are continually multiplying.
