A story they tell of a lunatic man, Who slid down hill in a wanning pan, He steered himself with the handle of course, And clucked away as he would to a horse. Ills legs, it is tnie, were somewhat In the way, And his seat rather tight 11 a body might say; But he landed all right at the foot of the hill, Anil for all 1 know is sitting there still. Yon smile at the story and wonder how fblks Can get from their brains such a terrible hoax', Uni sliding down hill la many a man, On a much worse thing than a warming pan. Home are going at down at full speed on their pride; And others who on their stinginess slide; Bat the strangest way of taking that ride, Is to go, aB some do, on a jug astride. Beware of such coasting, or like Jack and Gill, You’l make sorry work in getting down hill; Beware, for with what other evils you tug, 'Tis nothing like sliding down hill on a jug. THE PUREST PEARL. Beside the church door, a-weary and lone, A blind woman sat on the cold door stone; The wind was bitter, the snow fell fast, And a mocking voice in the fltlUl blast Seemed ever to echo her moaning cry, As she begged her alms of the passers by; “Have pity on me, have pity I pray; My back is bent and ray hair is gray.” The bells were ringing the hour of prayer, And many good people were gathered there, Bnt covered with furs and mantles warm, j They hurried past through the wintry storm. Some were hoping their souls to save, And some were thinking of death and the grave, And, alas! they had no time to heed The poor soul asking her chary’s meed, And some were blooming with beauty’s grace, But closely muffled in veils of lace; They saw not the sorrow, nor heard not the moan, Of her who sat on the cold door stone. At last came one of a noble name, By the city counted the wealthiest dame, And the pearls that o’er her neck were strung She proudly there to the beggar flung. Then followed a maiden young and fair, I Adorned with clusters of golden hair; i But her dress was thin, and scanty, and worn, Not even the lieggar’s seemed more forlorn. With a tearfUl look and pitying sigh, she whispered sort, “No jewels have I— But 1 give you my prayers, good friend,*’ said she, “And surely I kuow God listens to me.” On the poor white hand, so shrunken and small The blind woman felt a tear drop full, Then kissed it and said to the weeping girl, “It is you who have given the purest peari.” THE DAVIS IMPROVED VERTICAL FEED SHUTTLE SEWING MACHINE at the Store uf 13.
