Yes, madam. walk In.
This Is the place.
What are your charges?
The next question 1 ask;
One dollar only; that's cheap, suen
task.
II.
Thank you; good morning.
Then quietly walked out;
But the price that was asked.
was thinking about.
Then a happy thought struck inSV
I'll tell 1t to you:
Right then decided
Just what would do.
III.
When home for the summer
In July did go,
Those curtains were put
In my trunk don't you know;
And my old colored nanny
Washed them quite nice.
She only charged half Of
The Richmond price.
So saved fifty cents by that,
Don't you see?
Which was half the amount
To be given by me.
Then / wondered how will
I get the rest?
Well. I'll think 1t over
And do my best.
v.
When the Aid Society
OF Leigh-Street church
Decided each member
For money should search,
To free themselves
From n rather large debt,
II was said each one
A dollar must get.
VI.
Now fifty cents more
j had to make
For our Ladies' Aid. or
Sweet Charity's sake.
SO hot chocolate and cream-puffs
Myself / denied.
And the dimes thus saved
Were put safely aside.
VII.
Yet few pennies more
Fer my dollar I'd get:
So whenever the weather
Was not too wet.
I'd walk very often,
Be the place near or far,
And save the five cents
That is charged on the car.
VIII.
Now to those who came out
To the meeting to learn,
If the dollars brought In
Were easy 10 earn. q.
I'll say, try for yourself,
But you'll find II no fun,
II like me, you'll be glad
When the work Is done.
RESULT OF A SEARCH
The author Of the following was more
fortunate than many, in that she did not
have to work for her dollar:
The low-hung clouds o'erspread the sky.
The rain descended from on high
And as could not brave its rage,
A search did soon my time engage.
a paper of importance lay
quite out of sight for many day,
And II it could not soon be found
Much trouble would to me abound.
Mid letters old, yet loved the while,
Some lonely hours | did beguie:
Though these my search could well re-
quite,
The paper still kept out of sight.
But soon I spied within the heap
An old pearl purse l used TO keep
Ny well-earned pennies long ago
But broken now and kept for show.
I opened wide the rusty clasp,
And soon held close within my grasp
This dollar, which I hope may yet
With others, help to pay our debt.
After the poems had all been read a
collection was taken up from among the
