DEAL GENTLY WITH THE MOTHERLESS.
Peal gently with (he motherless, And let your words be kind ; A treasure like the one she's l.ost That girl cap never find. And if an angel visits earth A drooping heart to cfreer, X)h surely, then, to blues that child One m.ußtne hovering neur. Peal geijtly with the motherless — She’s like the homeless dove, JFar from that ark, a mother’s breast, Bereft a n>.other’s lovp. gladness beamed upon her birth, As on a hud in spring ; Then keep a corner in ypur heap For that dear lonesome thing. Deni gently with (he motherless, And soothe her soul’s despair ; And remember, oh, remember, Her mothers last fond prayer. 'Tell hey something of that saint, Who lull’d h/er on her breast, And p.pint her to that angel-land Where now she js af rest. Peal gently with the motherless, And do not harshly chide ; Put lead her by your tenderness, And win her fo confide. So shad you gild her cloud of grief With rays of other years, And your words spa.ll seem )ike music Amid a wgrld of tears. Peal gently with the motherless, Whose heait so often aches ; Pray for tiie orphan when she sleeps, And kiss her when she wu]?e-<. For in the path has to tread The thorns will spring witli flowers, And snares are laid to lure the ypung By all the evil powers. Deal gently with the motherless— Your own dear clijld may share Bereavement’s cup of bitterness, Instead offender care. And would you wish its gentle heart To fee! a stranger’s fiflwn ? Qn those who bless the motherless Kind heaven bestows a crown.
A silvery to ng.ue.—Swell : Very sory, mv man ; got no coppers. Tramp : Ah, thin, would I he aftber supposin’ (hat a gentleman of yppr quality would carry the dirty things, (pels a shilling.) Social Economy.—Mrs Scrooge : I’m writing to ask the Browns to meet the Joneses here at dinner, apd to the Joneses to meet th.e Browns. We owe them both, you know. —Mr Scourge : But I’ve heard, they’ve just quarrelled, and dor’t speak, Mrs Scrooge : I know. They'll refuse and we needn’t give a dinner parly at all
