Trbe following txqui.itey simple verses, from til
pen of an unknown will touch tho heart OF ever
ather and mother
The chill November day was done,
The working world home faring;
The wind came roaring through the streets,
And set the gas lights fiaring;
And hopeessly and aimlessly
The sea ed old leaves were flying:
When, mingled with the signing wind,
heard small voice crying.
And shivering on the corner stood
child of four or over,
No cloak nor hat her small, soft arms.
And wind blown curls to cover.
Her dimpled face was stained with tears;
Her round blue eyes ran over;
She cherishe in her wee, cold hand,
bunch of faded clover
And che hand around her treasure, while
She slipped in mine the other
Half scared, half confidential. said,
"0h please, want my mother"
''Teli me your street and number, pet;
Don't cry I'll take You to it,"
Sosbing, she answered, II forget;
The organ made me do it.
He came and played at Milly's steps;
The monkey took the money,
AMI so followed down the street,
The monkey was SO funny.
I've walked about q hundred hours,
From street to another;
Tie monkeys gone, L We tpolleu my noWei7-
OF please, l want my mothe'."
'But what's your mothers name, and what
The street, now think minute"
"fy mothers namo il mamma, dear
The street, can't begin II"
"Rut what is strange about the house.
Or new not like the otbersf"
Il guess you mean my trundie bed
Mine and my little brothers.
"Oh, dear, 1 ought to be at home,
To help him say hiS prayers;
He's such q baby, he forgets,
And we are both such players;
And there's bar between to keep
From pitching on each other,
For Harry rolls when he's asleep;
Oh! dear, want my mother"
Tho sky grow stormy; people passed,
ALI mufied, homewsrd flaring;
'sYou'll have to spend the night with me-"
/ said, at last, spairing
tied q kerchief round her neck
"What ribbons this, my blossomi"
"Why, don't you know 2" she smiling, asked,
And drew 1t from her bosom.
A card with number, street and name,
My eyes astonished met 1t;
"For," said the little one, "you see
might sometime forget it;
And SO wear the little thing
That tell you all about 1t;
For mother says she's very sure
would get lost without It."
