FACTS AND FANCIEs.

Is there no secret spot, on the face Of Gods
Where charity dwcIleth, and where virtue hath
birth,
Where the bOsOms in mercy, with kindness may
heave,
And the poor and the wretched may ask and
receiver
| Is there no place where knock from the poor
Will bring kind Angel to open the door?
Go search the wide world, wherever you can,
There is no open door for the MoReyiess Nan.
Go to the han where the chandeliers light
Drives of with its splendor the darkness of

Where rich hanging velvets in shadowy fold,
| Sweep gracefully down with their trimmings of

In long lighted visions, the bewildering view;
| Go there in your rags, and find, If you can,
| A welcoming smile for the AoHeyless Man.
Go to the church, where the cloud-reaching
| spire
| Gives back to the sun It's same look of red fire;
| Where arches and columns are gorgeous within,
| And the walls seem as pure as soul without
sin
| Go down the aisle, see the rich and the great,
In the pomp and pride of their worldly estate;
! Go down in your patches, and find, if you can,
Who opens pew TO Aoneylsss Man.
| Go to the Judge in his dark, flowing gown,
| With the scales wherein law weighs equity down,
| Where the frowns on the weak, and the smiles
|
| Furnishes right, and justifes wrong,
| Where jurors, their lips on the Bible hath laid,
| To render a verdict, for which they've bee,
paid;
| Go into the courtroom, and find, If you can.
Any law for the cause of the Moneyles Man.
! Go to the bank, where mammon as told
| In hundreds and thousands, in silver and gold,
| There, safe from the hands of the starving and
poor,
Lie piles upon piles, of the glitterlng ore.
I Ta1lr N1N ~
Till your limbs grow old, and your hair becomes
You'll ind in the bank not one of tho clan,
That has money to loan, to a HoneyEeSs Man.
Go to that hovel, no raven hath fed
The wife who hath suffered, so long for her
bread
Knee. down by her pallet, and kiss tho death
From the lips of the angels that poverty lost;
Then turn in your agony, upward to God,
And bless, while 1t smites with the Christening
And you'll find at the end of your life's little
span,
There's but one welcome, that's dbore, for the
Moneyess Man.
