probably, by the proud consciousness OF

great parade was made of building fres

THE OLD MANS WILL.

Old Oliver Smith, in his thrsadbare suit,
Hears the boys Of the village laugh and boot
There goes the miser, so poor and uld,
Starving and scrimping 20 heap up gold"
But the old man thinks with quiet SMILE
" Let these idle scolfers wait awhile,
Till time, which Sits the wheat from chaff,
May show that tho poor have cause to laugh,
The old man goes to the promise sure,
" Who feeds the hungry nd clothes the poor
To the very least of them all, shall see
He has done it also unto me-"
The years roll by the will is read,
And blessings descend on the giver's head
For many farmer of wealth and skill
Owes his start in life to the old mans will,
1t hears tho orphaned children's cry,
And the bushing maiden's modest sigh,
And it smooth's the poor mans dying bed,
For it gives to his starving children bread.
And it claims its share of the perfect bliss
Which crowns the lovers ecstatic kiss;
Fer it furnishes gold for the golden band
Which binds them together in heart and hand
p" God help the widow SO poor and DID,"
And He does. from the misers boarded gold
For His perfect love to the old man gave
Both the wish to give and the power to save
Ye sordid slaves Of the shining pelf,
Who love the gold for its own poor self,
Who know that the cash you love so well
Is dragging you down to the depths of hell
If how to leave it you'd like to know,
Yet take it with you when you 60,
To the bank which scven-fold interest pays,
Where no thieves can steal, and no rust
decays,
So that riches take wings and upward Hy,
And the camel springs through the needles
eye,

And follow the text Of the Old Mans Will!
