THE SINGER.

In the church stood in silence,
Not football, not q sound
Broke the hushed and dreamy quiet
OF my revery profound
was thinking of the morrow
When, before the altar grand
In the service of the Master,
All repentant, would stand.
And wondered II the people
Gathered there His name to praise
Would not be, through my endeavor,
Led TO purer, better ways
For felt within my bosom
All the true heart of the song
And l thought some tiny portion
Ought to touch that worldly throng.
So turned unto the organ,
And began TO play the air
OF the tender, sacred opera,
ANGELS, Ever Bright and Fair"
All, never sang so sweetly,
All my soul seemed upward turned,
All my holiest endeavor
Through those earnest carols burned
Then the heavenly spell was broken,
For beside the great staircase
Stood little ragged maiden
Gazing wondering in my face.
She was shabby, poor and crippled,
Not bright and winsome child;
She had spoiled my inspiration,
And spoke in anger wild:
Child" CRIED "what is your businessr'
And paused, with mien sublime
Why stand there in stupid silenceY
Come, make hastel I'm wasting timA-
But she did not move or answer
Only gazed with open eyes
Full of disappointed wonder,
And panied and greved surprise
"fou were singing bout the angels;"
Here her voice was low and sad
While with cold her slight form trembled-
She, poor child, was but half-clad.
"fou were singing bout the angels,
SO cane TO look ut you,
And kind O. thought you was one,
Now know it wasn't true
Years have passed since that brief moment,
But sometimes l seem to hear
Through my busy life of duty,
child's accents, soft and clear,
And l always pause and hearken
As with silent lips, alone
send not song OF triumph,
But prayer to Heavens throne
