Excerpt from Christmas Eve, or the Story of Poor AnthonyThe hymn ceased, and nothing was heard but a few soft notes of the harp still echoing faintly. Anthony was overcome. Ah! Said he, I feel as the shepherds of Bethlehem must have felt when they heard the celestial music of that holy night. I will take courage, and vex myself no more there must surely be charitable people near, who will pity me; for I am led to hope that, as they sing like angels, they may also be as kind as they.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
