How one small BOY Passed Away.
Detroit FREQ Press.
A pale, pinched face-a piping voice-a
little body which seemed TO be all bones
and angles. Many smile his odd dress
provoked. His coat had once belonged to
full grown man, while his pantaloons
could not have boen patched any more
without sewing patch upon patch.
Who was he?
All ! did you ever ask the question ? Ger
tainly not. You have no curiosity to know
one treet gamin from another.
How did he livep
You never inquired. Odds was the diff.
erence to you whether he had q fnll meal
or went supperless to bed. Had it been
the case Of a we'll dressed man a stranger
to you, you would have asked how many
thousands be was worth, and where he
was to buy or build.
Well?
Well, that boy is dead. He broke down
on the street the other day, burning up
hospital to die. There they saw how poor
10 flesh he was-they found the bruises
inflicted upon him by rough boys-they
washed his bleeding feet and wondered
how he could have walked single square
1t was too late. They shed tears as they
wiped his own away and they answered
his rawlings with kind words, but friend:
had como too late.
And what?
In his rawlings he accused you and me o
selfishness, of hard heartedness-of mock
philanthropy-aye of worse. We would
have taken the part Of the weaker dog
but we let that orphan lad take the blows
of the world. We saw that our horse,
were we'll fed, but We let that boy g
hungry. We made a great show in tn,
papers of contributing to orphan asylums
and yet we had nothing for this tender
lad. Iu his delirium he cried out that W
had given him no chance. We threS
nickels and dimes to base impostors, bu
we had not even one poor penny for a bo
whose poverty compelled him to sleep /
the alleys.
"Guilty !"
SO plead all Ere this he has told h
story in heaven. and on the pages of th
