The Prayer of tho Poor for
• tho Poor.
I hM for wealth (• poor; .
Who** pitied woumle I nay not heel |
Wkow pretence 1 bat ill endure,
80 bat plat* U the grief 1 faal;
'Vbaa tbM, met bough*. the Lord replied:
‘“The no rid, wUh all It* wealth, i* mine;
Mrbaad of lore, If opened wide,
Woald need bo trembling aid from tkint.”
“Oh 1 glee no wealth," again I raid,
“Thai I Bar teat* the eweet employ
Os firing orphan children broad,
Os tiling widowed bearta with joy !*
And knowing wall my da«p distress,
HU pitying roieo replied to me:
“The whispered prajrar, tha with to blear,
An all I bow require of thee.”
Tot oaeo again I dared to algh:
“The rioh who lore Thy work are few;
Lot ate but pass the ‘needle'a eye,’
To boar Tliy gift* securely through.”
The roiee replied in accents mild :
“Both good and oril work for ae;
If thou wert rich, repining child,
Thoo, like the rest, might’st faithless be.
“Mourn less, yet combat more the ill
Thou didst not cause, and oans't not oure;
'Tis thine to bear Thy Father’s will,
'Tis Hu to aid the helpless poor.
“And e’en in this desponding hour,
Thou feel’st that 'tis the better part
To hare the heart, devoid of power,
Than haring power, to lack tho heart,”
Artemus Ward in London.
Mr. Punch, my Dear Sir:— l was a
little disapinted in not receivin a invi
tation to jine in the meetins of the So.
cial Science Congress.
I dou’t exackly see how they got on
without me.
I hope it wasn't the intentions of the
Sciencers to exclood me from their de
librations.
Let it pars. Ido not repine. Let us*
remember Homer. Twenty cities claim
Homer dead, tbro’ which the livin Mr-
Homer couldn’t have got trusted for a
sandwich and a glass of bitter beer, or
words to that effect.
But perhaps it was a oversight. Cer*
tinly I bsve been hospitably rec'd in this
country. Hosspitaiityhas been poured
all over me. At Liverpool I was asked
to walk all over the docks, which are
nine miles long; and I don’t remember
a instance since my ’rival in Loudon of
my genin' into a cab without a Briton
comin and perlitely shut in the door for
me, and then extendin his open hands
o'ards me in the most freuly manner
possible. Does he not by this simple
yit Inching gesture welcum me to Eng
land ? Doesn’t he? Oh, ves—l guess he
doesn’t lie. And it’s quite rite among
two great countries which speaks the
same langwidge, except as regards h’s.
And I have been allowed to walk round
all the streets. Even at Buckingham
Pallis I told a guard I wanted to walk
round there, and he said I conld walk
round there. I ascertained subsequent
that he referred to the sidewalk instead
of the Pallis—but I couldn’t doubt his
hosspital feelins.
I prepared an Essy on Animals to
read before the Social Science meeting-
It is a subject I may troothfully say I
have successfully wrastlcd with. 1
tackled it when ouly nineteen years
old. At that tender age 1 writ a Essy
fora lit’ry Institoot, entitled, “Is Cats to
be Trusted ?” Os the merits of that
Essy it doesn’t becum me to speak, but
] may be excoosed for mentionin that
the Institoot parsed a resolution that
“whether we look upon the length o*
this Essy, or the nianuur in which it is
written, we feed that we will not ex
press any opinion of it, and wo hope it
will be read in other towns.”
Os course the Essy I writ for the
Social Science Society is a nioie fiu
isheder production than the one on
Cats, which was wroten when my mind
was crood, and afore I had mastered a
graceful and elygant stile of composi
tion. I could not even punctooate iny
sentences proper at that time, and I
observe with pane on lookin over this
effort of my youth that its beauty is
in one or two instances tnar’d by in
grammaticisms. This was inexcusable,
and I'm surprised I did it. A writer
who can t write in a gratnmarly manner
better shut up shop.
You shall hear this Essy on Animals.
Some day when yon have four hours to
spare I’ll read it to you. I think you’ll
enjoy it. Or, what will be much better,
if I may suggest—omit all pictures in
next week’s Punch, and not let your
contributers write anything whatever
(let them have a holiday ; they can go
to the British Museum); and publish
my Essy entire. It wiil fill all your
collumcs fall, and create commnet.
Does this proposition strike you ? Is it
ago? •
In case I had read the Essy to the
Social Sciencers, I had intended it
should be the closin’ attraction. I hud in
tended it Bbould finish the proceedins.
I think it would have finished them. I
understand animals better than any
other class of human creatures.* I
have a very animal mind, and I've been
identified with ’em doorin my entire
professional career as a showman ;
more especial hears, wolves, leopards,
and serpunts.
The leopard is as lively a animal ns I
ever came into contack with, it is
troo he cannot change his spots, but
you can change ’em for hipi with a
paint-brush, us I once did in the case ol
a leopard who wasn’t nnt’rally spotted
in a attractive manner. In cxbibitin
him I use to stir him up in his cage
with a protracted pole, and for the pur
puss of makin him yell and kick up in
a leopard? manner, I used to ’cusioually
whack him over the bead. This would
make the children inside tho booth
scream with fright., which would make
lathers of families outside the booth
very anxious to come in—because there
is ii very large class of parents who
have a uncontrollable passion for takiu
their children to placet whore they will
tt&nd b chance of being frightened to
death.
One day I whacked this leapord
more than usual, - which tlistited a re
monstrance from a tall gentleman in
rctaclea, who "Skid: “My good man,
not beat the poor eagtd animal.
Rather fondle him.” - *
‘TU fondle him with *a club,” I an
•erd him, hitting him another whack.
“I prithee desist,” said the gentle
man ; "stand aside, and see the effeck
of kindness, I understand the idiosyn
cracies of these creatures better than
yon do," With that he went np to
the cage, and thrusting his face in be
tween the iron bars, he said soothingly,
“come Hither, pretty creetur.” The
pretty creetur come hithered rather
speedily, and seized the gentleman by
the whiskers, which he tore off about
enuff to stuff a small cushion with.
He said, "You vagabone, I’ll have
you indited for exhibitin dangerous and
immoral animals.”
I replied, /‘Gentle, sur, there isn’t an
animal hero that hasn’t a beautiful
moral, but you mustn’t fondle 'em.
You mustn’t meddle with their idiosyn
cracies.”
The gentleman was a dramatic critic,
and he rote a article for a paper, in
which he said ray entertainment was a
decided failure.
As regards Bears, yon can teach ’em
to do interestin things, but they’re onre
liable. I had a very large grizzly bear
onee, who would dance, and larf, and
lay down, and bow his head in grief,
and give a mournful wail, ctsetry. But
he often annoyed me. It will be re
membered that on the occasion <ff the
first battle of Bull Run, it suddenly oc*
cuffed to the ted’ral soldiers that they
had business in Washington that ought
not to be neglected, and they all started
for that beantifnl and rqmantic city,
maintainiv a rate of speed dariu the en
tire distance that would have done cred
it to the celebrated French Steed Gladi
ateur. Very nat'rally our government
was deeply grieved at this defeat; and
I said to the bear, shortly after, as I
was givin’ a exhibition in Ohio—“Brew
in, are yon not sorry the national arms
has sustained a defeat ?” His business
was to wail dismal, and bow his head
down, the band (a barrel orgin and a
wiolin) playin slow and melancholly
moosic. What did file grizzly enss do,
however, but commence dancin and
larfin in a most joyous manner. I had
a narrow escape from being imprisoned
fi>r disloyalty. I will relate another in
cident in the career of this rechid Bear.
I used to present what I called in the
bills A Beautiful Living Pietur —show-
ing the Bear's fondness for Master ; in
which I’d lay on a piece of carpeting,
and the Bear would come and lay down
beside me, res'iu his right paw on my
brest, the band playin “Home Sweet
Home,”, very soft and slow. Altho’ I
say it, it was a tuchin thing to see. I've
seen Tax-Collectors weep over that per
formance.
Well, one day I said, “Ladies and
gentlemen, we will now show you the
bear’s fondness for his master,” and I
went and laid down. I thought I ob
served a pecooliar expression into his
eyes, as he rolled clumsily to'ards me,
hut I didn’t dream of the scene which
followed, lie laid down and put tiis
paw on my breast. “Affection of the
bear for his master,” I repeated. “You
see the monarch of the western wilds in
a subjugated state. Pierce as these
animals naturally are, we now see that
they have hearts, ami can love. This
bear, the largest in the world, and mea
suring seventeen feet round the body,
loves me as a mer-ther loves her ehc-ild.”
But what was my horror when the griz
zly and infamous bear threw his other
paw under me, and riz witli me to his
feet. Then claspin rae in a close em
brace he waltzed up and down the plat
form in a frightful manner, I yeflin with
fear and anguish. To make matters
wuss, a low scurrilus young man in the
audience hollored out, “Playfulness of
the bear 1 Quick moosic 1” I jest
’scaped with my life. The bear met
with a wiolent death the next day, by
bein in the vay when a heavily loaded
gun was fired off by one of my men.
But you should hear my Essy which
I wrote for the Social Science Meetins.
It would have a movin effeck on them.
I feel that I must now conclood.
I have read Earl Bright’s speech at
Leeds, and I hope we shall now hear
from John Derby. I trust that not only
they, but William E. Stanley and Lord
Gladstone will cling inflexibly to those
great fundamental principles, which
they underatand far better than I do,
and I will add that I do not understand
anything about any of them whatever
in the least—and let us all be happy,
and live within our means, even if we
have to borrow money to do it with.
Very respectively yours,
Artrmcs Wann.
