TRUE CHARITY.
(Written vor the Observer.)
Br Thomas Sharps, Onehtinga,
It is not his his who gives away His thousands with a lavish hand, His charity fame doth repay — His name is blessed throughout the land ; He gives, but lie receives reward In present praise and men's regard. But he who from a pittance scant, . In secret gives his little mite — Who gives what he himself doth want, His lamp is burning pure and bright ; And. in the balance God doth hold, His peace outweighs the rich man's gold.
