Freedom

Men ! whose boast it is that ye Come of fathers brave and free, If there breathe on earth a slave, Are ye truly free and brave? If ye do not feel the chain When it works a brother's pain, Are ye not base slaves indeed, Slaves unworthy to b-e freed !

Is true Freedom but to break Fetters for our own dear sake. And, with leathern hearts, forget That we owe mankind a debt?

No ! True Freedom is to share All the chains our brothers wear, And, with heart and hand, to be Earnest to make others free !

They are slaves who fear to speak For the fallen and the weak; They are slaves who will not choose Ilatred, scoffing and abuse, Rather than in silence shrink From the truth they needs must think: They are slaves who dgre not be In the right with two or three.

-James Russell Lowell

The lady looked at him thoughtfully. "Why, yes-I believe I did," she answered brightly, "and did you come?"

Well, It Was-At First!

On Being a Child

Know you what it is to be a child? It is to be somet[ring very different from the man of today. It is to have a spirit yet streaming from the waters of baptism; it is to believe in loveliness, to believe in belief; it is to be so little that the elves can reach to whisper in your ear; it is to turn pumpkins into coache", "rrd mice into horses, lowness into loftiness, and nothing into everything, for each child has its fairy godmother in its soul.

"Oh, Reverendr" came the cautious rejoinder, "I might get a bad one."

"f'm no'so sure, minister," he cagily replied, "for ye ken Providence has to dispose o' the bad as well as the guid."

My Symphony

To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not rich; to study hard, think quietly,, talk gently, act frankly; to listen to stars and birds, to babes and sages, with open hearti to bear all cheerfully, do all bravely; await occasions, hurry never; in a word, to let the spiritual, untiidden and unconscious, grow up through the common; this is to be my symphony.

-William Haney Channing

The Cold Bcrth f've heard these here birds with their cold water rot, f've spied on'em too, though perhaps I should not! Nin'e times out of ten they have turned on the "flot" ! (Hey-hey! -Hey-hey!)

"What is so fine as an icy cold tub?

The kind you pop into and duck with a 'glub' Then hop lightly out of and start in to rub?" (So they say-so they say.)

"Let women and children and folk feeble-sould Turn on the'Hot'faucet, but give ME the 'cold' The joy of the peppy, the bath of the bold !' (So they say-+o they say.)

"Cold water? I love it! It fills me with zip. What's that? You don't like it? Say, boy, take my tip, It's good for what ails you; cuies spavin and pip." (So they say-so they say.)
