Show Way of the World. The poor man, penniless, friendless, was starving. Rather than that, he cast himself In the river to drown. A passerby, seeing the poor man in the water drowning, plunged in, swam to him, and brought him, almost in his last gasp, ashore. There waiting hands labored with the poor man and at last brought him back to life. Then they congratulated the poor man on there having been help at hand to save him from a watery grave. And making up a purse for the brave fellow who had thus gone to the poor man's rescue, he and they went their ways. And the poor man starved. Brown ing's Magazine. |
