To earn his bread as best he could.
He wore novest no shess, no hat------- = -
The scantiest bit of shirt
One only coat this waif could boast
Was heavy coat of dirt -
Yet even in the crowd so dense
Hiscry washezrd, q Extry, two centsi'
The horneward-gcing crowd grew less,
And less. disposed TO buy
Yet still TO sell his printed wares
The child ceased not to try
~Extry. two cents y in fearful tones
Still sobbed along tine ferry.
Don't give itup" passer said,
I" You bet won't, sir, nary"
Zen he spoke, Ger cheeks so brown
The ready tears came rolling down.
Oh, then mp stepped bigger boy,
Spikey,- of thirteen years,
Who gave but q glance at the unsOld sheets,
And knew the cause Of the tears.
"Come, come, little Jaoky, musnt cry;
You shant get stuck, fer We both viii try"
Up stepped GOOD Samaritan,
OF the modern Brooklyn breed;
"Come, tell me, thou newsboy bold,
Has Jacky such urgent need7
For, be it 80, this deed of thine
Is worthy OF knights Of olden time
Yes, Jacky has sisters two or three,
An his mothers q wilder, yer honor,
Or as good as such-her man gets drunk,
And he always puts q head ON her.
So each of the children, old and young,
Must earn . few pennies to help along"
Then the Brooklynite to his friends so gay
Cried, Come to me and see
How much great good small cash may do;
Now buy these extras of me.
For each with teI-cent stamp you must part,
To send little Jacky home joyous of heart"
Little Jacky came mp, with the tears running dowr
few simple words to say
al thank you, gentlemen every one,
For these ere stamps to-day.
III take 'em home to mother and sis,
An they'll alters pray for you fellers for this
For sis, though shes humpbacked an not very gay
Is heavy, the minister says on the pray.
Now, these boys kept up their sobs and tears
Till their friends had crossed the ferry,
When they changed them quick into laughter anc
jeers,
And were most unaccountsbly merry.
And they kicked up thsr heels in the widest OF gs
Which they'd learned, fear from the minstrel nigs
Little Jack tho tears still running down,
Though fear they were not of sorrow,
Cried :. Spikey, didn't do il buliee?
But III do il better tomorrow
How they swallowed ny mother and sisters three,
And their EYES stopped over at poor little me-
sYer done it biz said Spikey the bold,
And q jolly good lark it is,
And well try 1t ON every day IN the week
Till somebody DROPS ON tine biz.
An tonight, my boys, we'll go an see
The bully new play 1t the old Boweree.
AN. Jack. while the fats do bite so sharp
As we've seen 'em do tonight,
Wen have good show FOR plenty Of stamps,
If We play ouf little game right
Plenty " coffee and cakes, dye see,
An alters the CASH for the Old Boweree"

THE KNIGHTLY NEwsBOY.
BIZ DoEsrIcKs.

IL was = drear and stormy night,
And the rain in streams came down,
While hundreds Of soaked and wretched folk
Were hurrysng TO Brooklyn town,
And piping voice at the ferry fence,
Cried shrily out, Extry, two cents :"
II was little newsboy chap
Puny and xeak aud wee.
Not bigger than pint Of beer,
So very small vss be-
Yet at the ferry-gste he stood, =
To earn his bread as best he could.
