Beautiful Sentiment.

There's many gem unpublished
And many star unknown
Many bright bud perished,
Neglected and alone
When had word been spoken,
In kindly, gentle tone,
The bud had bloomed unbroken,
Tne gem had graced a throne.
Then o scorn not the lowly,
Nor do them any wrong,
Lest thou crush an impulse holy,
Or blight a soul of song.

And want and woe that were not Dofro"eo'

And ladies' robed inrichest fashion, u

To them for pity or compassion

Set dome and spire and roof ON fire,
And shone on one beyond repinlng.a
Asleep-alone-as cold as stone,
Where no dearspafent ever soaght her;
In winding-sheet of snow and slcet,
Was found the drunkard's hfeless daughter.
