IF WE KNEW.


If we knew the cares and crosses
Crowding round our neighbor's way:
If we knew the little losses,
Sorely grievous day by day,
Would we then so often chide him
For the lack of thrift and gain
Leaving on his hearth shadow?
Leaving on his heart a stain?
If we knew the clouds above US,
Held by gentle blessings there,
Would we turn away all trembling,
In our blind and weak despair?
Weuld we shrink from little shadows,
Lying on the dewy grass,
While tbs only birds of Eden.
Just in mercy flying past?
If we knew the silent story,
Quivering through the heart of pain,
Would our womanhood dare doom them
Back to haunts of guilt again2
Life hath many tangled crossing,
Joy hath many break of woe,
And the cheeks fear-washed are whitest-
This the bless ed angels know.
Let us reach into our bosoms
For the key to others lives,
And with love toward erring nature,
Cherish good that still survives;
So that when our disrobed spirits
Soar to realms of light again,
We may say, dear Father judge US
As we judged our fellow men.
The spirit of democracy. [volume] (Woodsfield, Ohio) 1844-1994, 1865-08-30
How TO Play Tricks.

A young man was studying at college.
One afternoon he walked out with an in
structor, and they Glanced to see an old
pair of shoes, by the side of the path be
longing to an cid man at work near by.
Let US have little amusement at his
expense, said the student. suppose we
hide these shoes, and conceal ourselves in
the bushes 70 watch his perplexity when
he cannot find them"
II can think of better trick than that,
said the instructor "You are rich. Sup
pose you put silver dollar in the toe OF
each of his shoes, and then we will hide.
The young man did so. The poor man
finished his work soon, and went to put on
his shoes. You can imagine his surprise
when he stopped down to take out peb-
BILE, as he supposed, from the toe and
found bright silver dollar; and when he
found still another in the other shoe, his
feelings overcame him; he fell upon his
knees; looking up to heaven, ,and uttering
long fervent thanksgiving, in which he
thanked Kind Providence for sending
some unknown hand to save him from per-
ishing, and his sick and helpless wife and
children from starving. Do you wonder
that the young man stood in his hiding
place deeply affected? Young friends
when you wish to enjoy real pleasure il
witnessing the perplexity of others, see
if you cannot. in some way, initiate The
student.
