He Had Nothing.

A lawyer living not far from Phil
adelphia got his pecuniary affairs
into such an awful tangle that there
was scandal, especially when some
persistent creditors found there was
nothing to garnishec or seize upon.
A revival was in progress in the
church of which he was member,
and one of the congregation arose
and inquired:
"Has Lawyer - got religion ?
"No, think not" spoke up an
other lawyer of the congregation

'rne Loving Dend.

We hold our sacred dead aloof
We put them by like treasures old;
No more for them or hearth or roof,
But narrow dwellings lone and cold.
The dear. warm hearts that fell asleep!
Why shun them In our secret thought?
Why ever ut distance keep.
As If some change We're In them
wrought?
They cease not from their constant love.
They are not strange and far away.
Their presences about us move
Closer than presences of clay.
How 1t must grieve them when they come
Heart close and find no welcome there
Or whisper love and find us dumb,
Forgetful hedged with servile carel
