The world's speaker, reciter and entertainer for home, school, church and platform; recitations, readings, plays, drills, tableaux, etc. .. . ne, the out-side old and mean, But all within that little cot was wondrous neat and night was dark and stormy, the wind was howling wild,As a patient mother sat beside the death-bed of her child:A little worn-out creature, his once bright eyes grown dim:It was a colliers wife and child, they called him little Jim. And oh ! to see the briny tears fast hurryingdown her cheek, As she offered up the prayer, in thought,she was afraid to speak, Lest she might waken one she loved far bet-ter than her life; For she had all a mothers heart, had thatpoor colliers wife. With hands uplifted, see, she kneels besidethe sufferers bed, And prays that He would spare her boy,and take herself instead. She gets her answer from the child : soft fall the words from him :Mother, the angels do so smile, and beckon little Jim,I have no pain, dear mother, now, but oh ! I am so dry,Just moisten poor Jims lips again, and, mother, dont you cry,With gentle, trembling haste she held the liquid to his lip;. THE ARCHER.
