WILLIE’S MITE,
Away up among the hills of Vermont, in one of
the back pews of a country church, sat little Willie
Hazel, listening to an account of the sufferings of
our poor goldiers i in jhe hospitals and upon the
battle-field ; as he listened the great tears
trickled down ‘his little sunburnt cheeks and rested
upon his jacket. ‘“O, what can I do‘for these poor

told him not to ‘be an “eye-servant 3” but this

received a shilling for the soldiers. “And my
