SOMEBODY'S MOTHER.

The woman was old and ragged and gray,
And bent with the chill of the Winters
day;
The street was wet with recent snow.
And the woman's feet were aged and slow
She stood at the crossing and waited long.
Alone, uncared for, amid the throng.
Ofhuman beings that passed her by,
Nor needed the glance Of her anxious eye.
Down the street, with laughter and shout.
Glad in the freedom of school let out"
Came the boys, like flock of sheep,
Hailing the snow piled white and deep.
Past the woman SO old and gray
fastened the children on their way,
Nor offered helping hand to her,
So meek, 50 timid, afraid to stir,
Lest the carriage wheels or the horses
feet
Should crowd her down in the slippery
street.
~ last tdiuc otiC vi titC lnCtt lAtdR
The gayest laddie Of all the group;
He paused beside, her and whispered low,
.'I'll help you across, il you wish to go"
Her aged hand on his strong young arm
She placed, and SO, without hurt or harm,
He guided the trembling feet along,
Proud that his own were firm and strong.
Then back again to his friends he went,
His young heart happy and well content.
s'She's somebody's mother, boys, you
know,
For all she's aged and poor and slow,
And hope some fellow will lend hand
To help my mother, you understand,
II ever she's poor and old and gray,
When her own dear boy is far away"
And Somebody's mother" bowed low her
head
In her home that night, and the prayer
she said
Was. "God, be kind to the noble boy,
Who is somebody's son and pride and
joy"
