THE CHURCH POOR-BOX. I am a Poor Box \ —here I stick. Nailed to a wall of whitewashed brick, Teeming with fancies coming thick,” That sometimes mingle With solid pence from those who kneel; While now and then, oh joy ! I feel A sixpence jingle ! The robin ©u me oft doth hop; I’m the wood-louse’s working shop ; And friendly spiders sometimes drop A line on me ; While e’en the sun will ofteaStop To shine on me. I am of sterling, close, hard-grain As any box on laud or main ; But age, my friends, who can sustain, In solitude ? Neglect might make a saint complain, Whate’er his wood. Ileavcn hath no doubt a large design, Rome hearts are harder grained than mine : Some men too fat. and some too line, • And s«me can't spareU: I do not mean to weep and pine, But humbly bear it. This is a cold and draughty place. And folks pass by with qnickeued pace, Praying perchance, a dinner grace ; But even then I feel the comfort of His face Who pities men. I saw last week, in portly sfyhj, A ushurer coming down the isle; His chin a screw, his nose a die. With gimlet eye; He turned his head to cough and smile, And sidled by. I saw the same rich man this morn, With sickly cheek and gait forlorn— As feeble, almost, as when bora ! He dropped some pelf: Pity the poor,—the weak and worn,— Meaning “himself.’’ I salast year, a coir.fir and ,rn<\ With splendid bust, andjewels flame, And all the airs of feathered game— A high-br«‘4 star-thirg: /tUSiaw the gold— hut rinse she came, An d dropped—a farthing. 'Two diflrs ago—she pass? 1 this way, 1 leant-bn>k+*n—piemntarely gray— Her be-iaty, like its mother—day? bite gave me gold ; ‘“Oh, I am like tin*,e,” I heard her s y, “ Hollow' and cold.” The farmer gives when cm; s -ire good. Because the markets w<um his blood ; The traveller ’scaped from field and flood, Endows the poor; The dying miser sends iiis mud, To make heaven sure. A’lover, his hoped-for br!d \ v£er presciece being close beside.i Brew forth his purse with sleek-faced pride, Battling ny? wood! All day I felt a pain in the side, lie was *• so good.” The Captain fresh from sacking towns, My humble claim to pity owns ; Tie justice on his shilling frowns ; But, worst of all. Arcb-hvpoc rites display their crowns Reside my wall! There came a little child one day, Just old enough to know its way, And clambering up it seemed to’ say, “ Poor lonely box, Clive me a kiss,"—and went away With drooping looks. I have to play a thankless part: With all men’s charities I smart But those who give with a child’s heart, From pure fount sprung ; The rest I t ke as on a mart, Wise head—stilt tongue. \_Frwti Dicker)*' Ilouseliobi Words.
