THE MONEYLESs MAN.

IL there no place on the face of the earth
Were charity dwelleth, where virtue has birthf
Where bosoms in kindness and mercy will heave
And the poor and tho wretched shall ask and
receive?
Is there no place on earth where knock from the
poor
VIII bring kind angel to open the door?
An search the wide world wherever you can
Ihcre Ia no open door for the noneyless man.
Go look In the hall where the chandelier light
Drives on from its Eplendor the darkness OF night
Where the rich hanging velvet, in ehadowy fold,
Sweeps gracefully down, with its trimming Of gold,
90 look to your judges In dark flowing gown,
With the scales wherein law wegheth quietly down;
Where the ffowns on the weak and the smiles on
the strong,
And Furnishes right while he iustines wrong;
Where jurors their lips on the Bible have laid
To render verdict they've already made;
Go there in the courtroom, and find II you can,
ANY law for the case of u moneyless man.
Go look in the banks, where Mammon has told
His hundreds aud thousands of silver and gold
Where, safe from tie hands OF the starving and
poor,
Lies pile upon pile Of the gttering ore;
Walk up to the counter-ah, there you may stay,
And mirrors of silver take up and renew
In long lighted vlsfas the wildering view;
Go there in your patches, and find If you eau
welcoming smile for tho moncyless man.
90 look in your church of the cloud-reaching spire
Which gives back to the sun his same look of tre
Where the arches and columns are gorgeous within,
And the walks seem AZ prre as n soul without ain ;
Go down the long aisle-see the rich and the great
In the pomp and the pride Of their worldly estate
Walk down in your patches, and find if you can,
Who opens pew for moneyless man.
Til your limbs have grown old and your hair turns
gray,
And you'll find at the bank not one of the clan
With money to lend to a moneyless man.
The wife who has suffered 70 oug for her bread;
Kneel down by her pallet and kiss the death frost,
From the lips Of the angel your poverty lost
Then turn in yerr agony upward to God,
And blcss while it smites you, the Christening rod !;
And you'll find at the end of your ife's little span,
There's welcome above for the moneyess man.
