Cnc day gentleman saw two boys going

were barefooted. Their clothes were ragged
and dirty, and tied together by pieces Of
string. One of the boys was perfectly hap

Presently the gentleman heard his refry

to take very little taste Of Il, when his com.
panion said, Bite bigger BLY,, mebby we'll

What noble heart that boy had, in spite
Of his rags and dirt! He was " de;ng good "
in the way that We are speaking OF. There
was nobody for him to be kind to but his
companion in poverty-tho poor ragged boy
at his side. But he was showing him all the
kindness in his power when he said, Bite

nothing selfish about that boy. His conduct
shows how even poor ragged boy can do
good by showing kindness:
