forlorn enough. I said, "Aren't you going to Sunday-School?" He said,
"I can't go; my sister is married, my mother has gone crazy, and I
haven't a clean shirt." It would have melted the stoutest heart to have
heard his sorrowful tale. I found him soon after, and through the
kindness of a Northern friend in paying his tuition, I had him in my
school, where he proved himself bright and interesting.

I might cite many such instances that have come within my observation,
if time and space would permit. I long for much that is wasted at the
North to help many such bright, interesting, needy little children.
