0 if o 0 i CHARITY. t - The following beautiful sentiment.5? vrere written years ago for the Cincinnati Col umbian ami Great West .- Tbe genial sun, which o'er The varied earth his gladsome radiance flings, ' ; Shines just as cheerily on the cottage floor on the courts of kings. He gilds the mountain's brow Anrowneth it with glory, like a spell, Yet shineth in the vale where far below The little violets dwell. "JFbe welcome shower of rain Waters the fruitful field and barren heath, Makes the tall forest trees look green again, And wets the weeds beneath. The dew, which falls unseen. In gardens bright where loveliest flowers glow, Tails just as freely on the pasture green Where simple daisies grow. Why do inen scorn to do As our Almighty Lord himself hath done! Who gave io every flower its drop of dew, To every spot the sun. Why do they bend and smile Before the rich, the highborn, or the fair, And let a poorer brother pass the while Without a thought or care ? Why do they turn away From hearts that plead from pity in their pain, mingle with the happy and the gay, And let them plead in vain ? Why seek the place of mirth, The homes where luxury and pleasure dwell, And leave unvisited the lowly hearth, Or even the prison cell ? A single kindly word To sorrowing hearts, whose very hopes have died, Is better worth than thousand flatteries poured Into the ear of pride. A single friendly deed Is precious to the peasant or the king, An act and word of love, are but the meed Of every living thing. o The following reflections on the above hny never before appeared in print : Earth, t'ost thou hide with mould the hand tlmt grottf This poem, teeming with the muses' fire ; Oblivion, is he thine whose fingers smote With(tfrnid movement, such a thrilling lyre? What his highest hope his first desire? A noble mind, perchanep, a soul endowed WitJi Heaven-born impulse ; elevated higher Thajrthis cold world, with sympathies so rude ; In vain I ask, what boots it to enquire ? ince from the past no echoes e'er return; past ! Behold the mighty funeral pyre Of many a noble deed ; the fatal urn To which our weeping eyes With backward glances turn. official.
