The Purest Pearl.

The Purest Pearl.
FROM THE GERMAN.
Beside the church door, aweary and lone.
4 blind woman sat ON the cold dVurstonej
The wind was bitter, the snow fell fast,
Aud q mOcking voice, IN the ftfil blast,
Seemed ever 10 echo her moaning cry,
AZ She begged for aims of the pusscrs byi
Have pity on mc-havc pity, pray;
My bnck IS bcnt-my head is gray
The bells were ringing the hour Of prayer,
And many good people were gathering there;
But covered with flirs and mantcs warm,
They hurried past through the wlntry storm.
Some were hoping their souls TO save,
And some were thinking Of death and the gravel
And alas! they had no time 10 heed
The poor soul asking for chnrtys need.
And some We're blooming with bcauty's grace,
But closely muillcl IN vClls Of lace,
They saw not the sorrow nor heard the moan
OF her who sat on the cold door stone.
ht last came one of II noble name,
by the city counted the wcalhiest dame.
And the pearls that round her neck wee strung
She proudly these to the bessar flung
Then followed maiden, young and fair
Adorned with clusters Of gOldsn hair;
But her dress was thin and sCHnty, and worn,
tSnt even the bcggAr secmcd more fnrlorn.)
With fearful look. and pitiful sigh,
She whispered softly, No pearls hare1
fut give you my prayers, good friend, said she,
And surely know God listens TO me-
on her poor weak hand, so shrunken and small,
The blind woman felt tcaT-drOp fall;
Then kissed II, and said to the weeping girl,
II is you that have given the purest pearl,
