To keep the old world onward:
Our eyes with tearssare often wet,
So slowly It moves sunward.
Yet would we all the secret seek
or this dear little mother"
Unwearying we'd bear the weak
Because he is my brother"
Mrs W. F. HALLECK.
Thy nelghbor? It is ne whom thou
Hast power TO aid and blessi
Whose aching heart and burning brow
Thy soothing hand may press.
Thy neighbor? It's the fainting poor
Whose eve with want is dim:
Whom hunger send from door 10 door;
Go thou and succor him.
Thy neighbour It's that weary man
Whose years are at their brim.
Bent low with sickness, cares. and pain;
Go thou and succor him.
Thy neighbor? IT'S the heart bereft
OF every earthly gem;
Widow and orphan. helpless left.
Go thou and shelter them.
Thy neighbour Yonder toiling slave.
Fettered in thought and limb.
Whose hopes are all beyond the grave:
Go thou and ransom him.
Whene'er thou meet'st a human form
Less favored than thine own.
Remember It's thy neighbor worm,
Thy brother. or thy son.
Oh. pass not, pass not needless by;
Perhaps thou canst redeem
The breaking heart from misery;
Go share thy lot with him.
