AN EMPTY STOCKING.
BY EDWIN A. NYR.

There is a picture--l think l first saw
n in the Inland Printer a few years
ago-entitled AN Empty Stocking -
that always touched me TO the core.
IL is a picture Of Christmas morning.
A little one in her 'nightie" has eager
ly jumped out Of bed TO see what may
be in her stockings, so carefully hung
on the wall the night before.
They are empty.
The picture shows the poor little kid,
her face down upon the bed. in an
agony Of grief and disappointment.
In her hand she holds one Of the empty
stockings. while the other hangs lean
and limp upon the wall.
AS you comprehend the picture a
great pity seizes you
The story is all there. In all her
future life. you think. this child will
never face a deeper sorrow. keener
wound She was so full OF hopes tho
night before. She believed Santa
Claus was too kind to pass by little
girl who had tried TO be good Per
haps she knew that Santa Claus was
poor. but certainly he would bring
her something.
And she was forgotten.
Poor baby
1t hurts to have your little heart
filled clear to the brim with sobs.
II is hard TO learn when you are only
a bit Of a girl the lesson Of neglect
and the worlds heartlessness, because
between a childish heart and its trsi
great grief Is interposed no shield OF
experience.
You and ! know the worlds stern
ways. We know what 1t Is to trust
and be wretched. to hope and fail. tC
fall and rise and trust again
But a baby.
The picture is a true one. There vii
be thousands such when Christmas
not so far away. comes again.
There are homes In your town
in every town. where hunger Otter
shows its haunting face. homes where
there are not even a few pennies e
buy one little toy. And It takes so lit
tie TO make happy the heart of
child.
oh. yes. I know
The parents may be lazy or the IA
ther a drunkard. or what not, but tha
is no fault Of the Riddles. oh. it !;
pitIful--
Pitiful that in a land OF plenty one
little child who Graves the ownership
OF some trifiing thing-a cheap doll ol
tin soldier-should sob in cruel dis
Illusion. holding in her little hand al
empty stoclSingl
Maybe you can see in such a picture
a duty which should he to you a grea
delight.
