MY LADY.

She walks unnoticed in the street;
The casual eye
Sees nothin in her. fair or sweet:
The world goes by,
Unconscious that an angels feet
Are passing nigh.
She does thousand kindly things
That no one knows;
A loving woman's heart She brings
To human woes;
And I'D to her face the sunlight clings
Where'er she goes
And SO she walks her quiet ways
With that content
That only comes to sinless days
And innocent;
A life devoid Of fame or praise.
Yet nobly spent.

might he not have said Of the voiceless
antics of 400 dumb children In the
great school for deaf mutes that over
looks the Hudson? What of the Gar

at hospital and almshouse, this year
more humanely managed than ever be-
fore? What of the Newsboys' home,
that splendid charity which is Charles
Loring Braces monument? What Of
the public Christmas trees with guests
by the thousand, special matinees. loans
of theaters and public halls for great
gatherings of energetic children who
clatter about in a sort of fairyland? Or
ganization has developed rapidly in this
field Of benevolence. and there is no
question that much is done thereby TO
ameliorate the lot of the little ones at
least. New York does pour out its
wealth to take care of the children. 1t Is
the old and the lonely who are to be
pitied just now.

minister to their bodily needs.
