HOW IT'S DONE.
NO. 11.--THE STRAIGHT "TIP."
My prefound estonishment may be more heasily described than conseeved when I says as they was amost all Forreners of warious countries! so that when I handed anythink werry speshal to sum on 'em they would shake their heds and say, "No mercy!" or "Nine darnker!" as the case mite be.
THE SHIELD AND THE SHADOW.
Yes, compassion is due to thee, India's young daughter; The sound of thy sorrow, thy plaint of despair Have reached English ears o'er the wide westward water, And sympathy stirred, seldom slumbering there.
Child-Wife, or Child-Widow, in agony kneeling And clasping the skirts of the armed Island Queen, Her heart is not cold to thine urgent appealing; Considerate care in her glances is seen.
Not hot as the urgings of zealotry heady The action of her who's protectrice and guide. Her stroke must be measured, her sympathy steady, Whose burden's as great as her power is wide.
She stands, AEgis-armed, looked forth calm, reflective, Across the wide stretches of old Hindostan. The plains now subdued to her power protective, Saw politic AKBAR and sage SHAH JEHAN.
If AKBAR was pitiful, Islam's great sworder, Shall she of the AEgis be less so than he? The marriage of widows he sanctioned, his order Three centuries since laid the ban on Suttee.
