OUR DAILY BREAD.

A BEGGAR boy stood at a rich man's door;— “I am houseless, and friendless, and faint, and poor,” Said the beggar boy, as a tear-drop rolled Down his thin cheek, blanched with want and cold;— “Oh, give me a crust from your board to-day, To help the beggar boy on his way!” “Not a crust nor a crumb,” the rich man said, “Be off, and work for your daily bread.”
The rich man went to the parish church, His face grew grave as he trod the porch; And the thronging poor, the untaught mass, Drew back to let the rich man pass. The service began—the choral hymn Arose and swelled through the long aisles dim; Then the rich man knelt, and the words he said Were, “GIVE US this day our daily bread.”
