A Question of Pride.

Pride is the birthright of almost every
Spaniard, and the fact that one of the race
may take up the occupation of beggar
does not shut him out from the possession
of it. An American traveller relates that
in alighting at hotel in Granada he saw
man at the door put out his hand toward
him.
The traveller supposed that the man was
the porter of the hotel and offered him his
yalise The man stepped back, tossed his
head and frowned scornfully.
"Caramba!" he exclaimed. "Do you take
me for porter? | would have you under
stand that anu no porter"
Indeed? Then may l ask you, senior,

Hearts that art weary, and hearts that are glad
Eyes that are heavy with sorrow and strife,
Eyes that are cleaning with beauty and life,
Pictures of pleasure, and crosses of care,
Going, all going, God only knows wherel
Hands that have earnestly striven for bread,
Hands that are suiled with dishonOr instead,
Hearts that are turned to a purpose sublime,
Hearts all discordant and tangled with crime
Souls that are pure and as white as the snow,
Souls that are black as the midnight of woe,
Gay in their gladness or drunk in despair

And the rarest of jewels will sparkle and shine
Some in their hunger will wander, and some
