TELLING THE BRAVE STORY OVER.
1t needs not great wealth kind heart to display /;
Ii The hand be but willing il soon finds way,
And the poorest one yet, in the humbest abode,
May help poor brother n step on his road
Oh! whatever the fortune a man may have won.
kindness depends on the way it is done;
And though poor be our purse, and narrow our
span,
Let us all try to do good turn when we can.
