STEPHEN GIRARD's HERoIsM.
A Story ofthe Philadelphia Pestilence o
l7S3.

1909.
From Ramsdell's Washington Republic.
The example Of eminent men in the
cause OF humanity cannot too frequent
ly be cited if we would see their great
deeds emulated. The fearful epidemic,
yellow fever, prevailed in Philadelphia
in 1888. All who could fled. The hor-
rors OF the plague, as described by De-
foe in his narrative of London, were
realized in this American city. Friends
and even members of the same family,
abandoned each other on the approach
OF danger. The poor were dragged off
to Bush Hill hospital, where, under
panic and malpractice, few ever recov-
cred. New York passed a legislative
act to arrest and imprison any one,
sick or well, male or female, coming
from Philadelphia or suspected of so
coming. Massachusetts passed a SINH
lar rigid law. In the midst of the ter
rible scouage it was announced that
Stephen Girard, the wealthiest merch-
ant of Philadelphia. had taken charge
of Bush Hill hospital, whence no one
aver returned, and was engaged in
shrouding the dying and interring the
dead. He built a new house in the
vicinity of the hospital, and rented
q barn to accommodate the patients
who then crowded Bush Hill for cure.
And though Girard had been declared
insane and reported dead, he still lived
and kept well, and was soon after found
ON Fifth street in a large house, in
which he installed sixty orphan children
found in the streets, which proved to
be the foundation of the Philadelphia
Orphan Asylum.

OASIS IN THE PAST.

For the sunlight of joy needs be tenn

With love and contentment aglow,
Parents whose hearts could never roam
From their little ones numbered four.
see their smile as we frolicked and play'd,
All happy childhood, will neer be for

And the dear old homestead though far
away,
In memory's. oasis, thou art aEcherished
spot.
Yes, happy girls and boys wore wc,
Nor dreamed of day to come,
When the Reaper should gather, oh! stern
decree,
A loved one to darken our sunny home.
Yet from us was snatchcd father dear,
We laid him to rest meath tho willow
tree,
And turned away with many tear
Your orphans a-drift, on life's troubled
sea.
Twas then the world grew dark and cold,
Friends grew less, in time of need,
None knows better than one little fold,
What means, friend in need is one in
deed.
Memory's wave roofs back the day.,
When our brother, the oldest of the four,
Calrd us together to teach lis the way,
How children need to strive when faith
erless and poor.
One by one the years have flown,
Happily to some but to us how sad,
Dear little sister the least is now grown,
But without father, oh who can be
glad
Old Time, with his changes of sunshine
and shade,
Has served but to strengthen the tie,
That binds our hearts to the grave that
was made,
And bids us rejoice, there'sa a sweet by
and by.
Woprofit each day by the lessons we learn,
SinceSour loved Que was laid meath the
sod,
For in, leaving the world so cold and so
stern,
We've found the way to the orphans
God.
On life's stormy SEA the winds so chill,
We are drifting still with the tide,
Our bark is tossed on its waves at will,
Yet Hope sweet Hope, points to the other
side.
And oh! what a relief is ours to.know,
If We perform well the task that is giv'n,
Wen meet our loved one on the golden
shore,
And our orphanage ON earth will be
ended in heaven
