Sacrament, and singing of THE Star

Father Cullen took advantage of the
occasion to deliver an address on pa

NOT A CENT.

Tom Days frisky muse the other
day inspired the peoples poet to take
his typewriter in hand and write the
following touchingly truthful lines:
As she knelt at her devotions
She was visibly distressed.
And the force of her emotions
Would not suffer her to rest.
They were taking the collection.
And her worried brow was bent
On her hands in deep detection,
For she did not have a cent.
Coins were clinklinghin the basket
AS it near and nearer came,
And her pain-she could not mask il
Flushed her visage as a flame.
Then she murnured: What pickle
What horrid embarrassment,
| shall have to give nickel,
For | haven't got cent.
