THE WIDOW’S WEALTH.
———
BY E. CLEMENTINE STEDMAN.

Addressed to my little boy, who, on seeing me weep at pecuniary misfortunes, brought a silver piece which had been presented to him, and with tears in his eyes, said—“Mother, will this do you any good?”
Nay, keep thy gift my precious boy!
It but a drop would be
From the wide ocean of the wants
That are oppressing me.
But blessings on the tender heart
