CHARITY.
W. U. I'AHK. Oh, speak not harshly of the mind That gropes contented in the night! For thou thyself art weak and blind, Though boasting of thy stronger light. And oh, speak kindly of the hands That, wild and wilful, work the wrong 1 Thou knowest passion's mad demands— The will so weak, the sin so strong. But, kindly as the stars that shine From out their silent home above, Let every little word of thine, Unangered, prove thy constant love. And when at last thou findest rest, , Beyond Life's ever-troubled sea, Thy name will linger and be blest By those who sigh and weep for thee. The Family Herald.
