A LITTLE ELBOW ROOM.
Uood friend, don't s()tita*7.i* so very tight,
There's room enough for two;
Keep in your mind t lint I have a right
To live ax well ns you.
You’r rich and xtrong, I poor and weak,
Rut think you I presume,
When only tliix |ioor lioon 1 ask—
A little elbow room?
'Tlx such ax yon—the rich and strong,
If you but had the will,
Could give the weak a lift along
And help him up the hill.
But no—you jostle, crowd and drive;
You storm and fret and fume;
Are you the only mini nlivo
In want of elbow room?
But thus it is on life's round path,
Self -eems the God of all;
The strong will crush the weak to death,
The big devour the small.
Far hotter he a rich man's hound—
A valet, serf or groom—
That struggles 'mid the mass nfound,
When we've no elbow room.
Up heart, ray hoy! don't miml the shock;
l'p heart, and push along!
Yoitrskin will xixmgrow rough with
Your limlis with labor strong.
And there's a hand unseen to aid;
A star to light the gloom;
Up heart, my boy! nor lie afraid—
Strike out for elbow room!
And when you see, amid the throng,
A fellow-toiler slip,
•lust give him, as you pass along,
A brave and kindly grip.
Let noble deeds, though poor you he,
Your path in life illume;
And with true Christian charity,
Give others elbow room.

heifer up came Mr. 'small, in . quest of
hi* brindle. I he two men stared at
NO. 40-
each other for an instant in blank
dismay, then hung their heads in
confusion.
It was useltxs to assert that the
damages were too high, for had th vy
not fixed them themselves? It. Wits
useless to plead that Aliss Letitia
was in a manner responsible for
what had happened, on account of the
open gate, for had they not assured
her that circumstance did not alter
the case? It was useless to say that
she hud no right to keep the cows
in custody, for htul they not counseled
her to do so? As to going to law
about it, would they not thus become
the sport of the whole town 5*
“lie that diggeth a pit, he himself
shall fall into it,” said Miss Letitia,
who read what was passing in their
minds as well as if they had spoken,
lor the light their of Isaac's lantern fell
full on faces. “However, I
didn't wish to be hard upon you, and
on one consideration I will free the
cows ami forgive von the debt.”
“What is that?" Both thought the
question, but did not ask it.
“The condition is, that you promise
to put a good new fence in the place
of the old one that seperates your
estates, and dividing henceforth the cost between
you that you will live
together peaceably so ihr as in you
lies. Do you promise ?”
“Yes,” muttered both, in a voice
scarcely audible.
“Shake hands upon it, then,” said
Aliss Letitia.
They “Now did so.
let the .cows out, Isaac; it’s
time they were milked.” said she.—
And the two men went away driving
their cows before them, and a shame
faced air greatly in contrast to the
look of triumph with which they had
quitted her presence.
The fence was built, and the strife
ceased when the cause was removed,
but it was long before Aliss Letitia’?
part in the affair came to the public
ear; for she herself mantaiued a strict
silence concerning it, and enjoined
the same upon her man-servant Isaac.
