Away off in Edinburg two gentlemen
were standing at the door Of hotel one
day. when a little boy, with poor, thin,
blue face, his feet bare and red with cold,
and with nothing to cover him but a bun
die Of rags, came and said:
Please, sir, buy some matches.
''No, | don't want any" the gentleman
said.
But they are only penny box, the
little fellow pleaded. :,
Eyes; but you see | don't want box,
the gentleman replied
Then / will gle We twa boxes for
penny, the boy said at last.
And so to get rid of him" the gen
tleman who tells the story says, 81 bought
a box. But then | found l had no
change, 80 l said i will buy a box to-
morrow
ooh do buy them the NIGHT, if We
please" the boy pleaded again. 81 will
rim and get the change, for | am very
hungry"
SO gave him the shilling, and he started
away, and / waited for him, but no boy
appeared. Then thought had lost my
shilling but still there was that in the
boys face trusted, and | did not like to
think bad of him. Well, late in the
evening a servant came and said little
boy wanted to see me. When he was
brought in l saw it was smaller brother
of Theology that got my shilling but, if
possible, still more ragged, and poor, and
thin. He stood moment diving into his
rags, as if he was seeking something, and
then said:
''Are We the gentleman that bought the
matches frae Sandie ?"
"Well, then, here's four pence out o
per shilling. Sandie Gamma come: he's
no weel. A cart run over him and knock
ed him doom, and he lost his bonnet, and
his matches, and your seven pence; and
both his legs are broken and he's no
well at a, and the doctor says he'll dee.
And that's a he can gle We noo," putting
four pence down on the table, and then
the poor child broke down into great sobs.
$50 | fed the little man." the gentle
man goes on to say, ''and then | went to
see Sandie / found that the two little
things lived with wretched, drunken
stepmother, their own father and mother
being both dead | found poor Sandie
lying on bundle Of shavings. He knew
me as soon as l came in, and said:
81 got the change, sir, and l was
coming back, and the horse knocked me
doom, and both my legs are broken. And,
., Reuby, little Reuby | am sure am
dee'in aud who'll take care o We, Reuby,
when I'm game? " hat will We do,
Reuby n
Then l took the poor little sufferers
hand and told him | would take care of
Reuby. He understood me, and had just
strength enough TO look at me, as if he
would thank me; and then the light went
out Of his blue eyes, and in moment
HE lay within the light of God,
Like babe upon the breast,
Where the wicked cease from troubling,
And the weary are at rest"
Children, listen This poor little boy,
lying on bundle of shavings, dying and
starving, was tender, and trusty, and true;
and so God told the gentleman to take
poor little friendless Reuby and be a friend
to him for life And Sandie heard him
say he would do it-just the last thing he
ever did hear; and then, before can tell
you, the dark room, the bad stepmother,
the bundle of shavings, the weary, broken
little limbs, all faded away, and Sandie
was among the angels.
