FIVE SONGS OF MONEY.

FIRST SONG. It Jingled, It tingled—it warmed the eold palm* Of a miser A man, singing psalms In rags of wretched linen—bowed down to the sod. Heard the chime of the dollars and smiled, and thanked God! SECOND SONG. It Jingled, it tingled—it flashed through the night To a beggar who knelt near a mansion of light; And he said: “I shall win her, if life will but holds” And he climbed to her heart on a:ladder of gold! THIRD SONG Iljingled, it tingled: A man heard the sound. And over him gathered the darkness profound; And he said: ‘“There is never a God that shall now" As he strangled the life in the sleeping man’s throat. FOURTH SONG It Jingled, it tingled: A woman made wild, Hushed in her mad bosom the cries of a child; And she said: “How the black night falls hateful and cold! And the wolf at the door would have virtue for gold!" FIFTH SONG. A world with thy splendors, thy hopes and thy fears; Thy plenty of charity—plenty of tears! We know there’s a rainbow for every dark sky— We know there’s a love that no money can buy! But the rainbow still lingers—the love may be lost. While the tradesmen still cavel and cast up the cost It is Jingle, and tingle, in rags and in lace; But we kneel and thank God for the smile of His face! —Frank L. Stanton, in Atlanta Constitution.
