SONGS FOR THE

“+ She taught me when I had enough,

To share it with the poor,

And never let a needy child,
Go empty from the door.

“6Qo take it, for you need not fear

Offending her, you see ;

I have another, too, at home,

And one’s enough for me.’

So then I took it—here it is—

For pray what could I do?

And, mother, ! shall love that Miss

   
 

As long as I love you.”

CHILD’S TALENT.
God intrusts to all
Talents, few or many ;
None so young or small .
That they have not any.

Though the great and wise
Have a greater number,
Yet my one I prize,
And it must not slumber.
God will surely ask,
Ere I enter heaven,
- Have I done the task
Which to me was given?
