THE MONEYLEsS MAN.

This beautiful poem was composed
years ago by HENRY STANTON, Maysville,
KY. Such gems of poetry are not often
met with, written by authors whose
names are never known in history:
Is there no place on the face of the earth,
Where charity dweileth, where virtue has
birth?
Where bosoms in kindness and mercy will
heaye,
And the poor and the wretched shall ask and
receive?
Is there no place on earth where knock from
the poor
Will bring kind angel to open the door?
Ali search the wide world wherever you can,
There is no open door for the moneyless man.
Go look in the hall where the chandelier light
Drives off with hts splendor the darkness of
night; ~
Where the rich hanging velvet, in shadowy
fold,
Sweeps gracefully down with its trimmings of
gold,
And mirrors of silver take up and renew
In long lighted vistas the 'wildering view;
Go there in your patches, and find if you can
A welcoming smile for the moneyless man.
Go look in your church of the cloud-reaching
spire,
Which gave back to the sun his same look of
fire..
Where the arches and columns are gorgeous
within, -
And the walls seem as pure as soul without
sin;
Go down the long aisle-see the rich and the
great,
In the pomp and the pride of their worldly es.
tate;
Walk down in your patches, and find if you
Who opens pew for moneyless man.
Go look to your judges, in dark flowing gown,
With the scales wherein law weigheth quietly
down;
Where he frowns on the weak and smiles on
the strong,
And Furnishes right while he justifes wrong:
Where jurors their lips on the Bible have laid,
To render verdict they've already made;
Go there in the courtroom, and find if you can,
Any law for the case of moneyless man.
Go look in the banks, where Mammon has told
His hundreds and thousands of silver and gold
Where. safe from the hands OF the starving and
poor,
Lies pile upon pile of the glittering ore;
Walk up to the counter-ab, there you may
stay,
Till your limbs have grown old and your hail
turns gray,
And you'll find at the bank not one of the clar
With money to lend to a moneyless man.
Then go to your hovel-no raven has fed
The wife who has suffered so long 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 your agony upward to God,
And bless while it smites you, the Christening
rod;
And you'll find at the end of life's little span
There's welcome above for the moneyless man.
The spirit of democracy. [volume] (Woodsfield, Ohio) 1844-1994, 1875-01-26

Mrs. Stanweod smiled as her husband
spoke thus.
"What makes you smile3' he asked.
"To think that you would imagine that
you could find work in such place
But how is Mark Leeds?"
"He,S worse OH IMAM am.
"How so?'
"He has nothing in his house to eat. .
A shudder erept over his wife's frame.
'sWhy do you tremble, wife?'
because when we shall have eaten

"But our four?"

"But we have pork? p
"You ate the last this noon''
"Then you must starvee' groaned the
stricken man, starting across the room.
Peter Stanwood was book binder by
trade, and had been out of employment
about month. He was one of those
who generally calculated to keep square
with the world, and who consider them
selves particularly fortunate if they keep
out of debt. He was now thirty years
of age, and had three children to pro
vide for, besides himself and wife, and
this, together with his house rent, was a
