THE HERITAGE.

The rich mans son inhcriis lands,
And piles Of brick, and s,one. and gold,
And he ~int,eri,s sofi. white hands,
And tender nssb tina, fears the cold,
Nor dare to we II a garment old
a heritage, il seems TO me.
One would no, care TO hold In fee.
The rich mans sou inheriis cares
The bank may break. tie factory burn.
Some breath may burst his hubble shares,
And soft white hands wonld hardly earn
A living that ~ ovld suit his turn;
a heritage, II scems TO me.
One would not care to hold ia fee,
What does the poor mans son Inherit
Stout muscles and a sincwy heart,
A hardy frame, a harder spirit;
King of two hands, hc does his part
In every useful ioil and art;
A heritage, il seems to me,
A king might wish TO hold in fee.
What does the poor mans son inherit
Wishes o'erjoyed with humble things,
A rank adjudged by ,oil-worn merit.
Content that from employment springs,
A heart that in his labor sings;
A heritage, II seems to me,
A king might wish to hold in fee.
What does the poor mans son Inherit
A patience leaned by being poor,
Courage. IL sorrow come, 10 bear it,
A fellow feeling that Is sure
To make the outcasi bless his door:
A heritage, i, seems to me,
A king might wish 10 hold in fee.
q, rich mans son, there is a toll
That with all others level stands
Large charity doth never soil,
But only whitens, soft, white hands;
This is the best crop from thy lands
A heritage, it seems 10 me,
Worth being rich TO holJ in fee.
o, poor mans son, acorn not thy stale,
There is worse WEAKNESS than thine,
In merely being rich and great
Work only makes the soul 10 shine,
And makes rest fragrant and benign;
A heritage, il seems 10 me.
Worth being poor to hold in fee.
Doth heirs to some six fee, Of sod,
Are equal in the earth at last
Both children of,he same dear G Cd I;
Prove title TO your heifship vast
BY record offs well filled past;
A heritage. its seems to me,
Well worth a life TO hold in fee.

ICNDOE PEACE CoNvEN TION.


Al this Convention, held at London, in
June last, about 10 delegates were
present; amorg lh enunber were Is from
this side of the Atlantic The adoption
OF the following Address, sent to the Yer.
mont Chronicle by correspondent al
l. n1on, is The most important measure Of
the Coovrnion.
"Iho delegates appointed TO rep
resent the Friends Of Universal Peace
ofvarious nations, assembled in Con-
Vention in London, June, 1913 -
TO the Governments Of the civil
zed world -
For rational beings, possessing i'm
mortal souls, to be Systematically
trained to kill each other, is in itself
so utterly opposed, not only to the
Christian religion, tut to the dictates
Of humanity, that nothing but the
natural deprdvily ofthe human heart,
the force Of education, and long fam
iliarty with war, can account for the
general prevalence of this monstrous
system.
Under deep sense of the cpor-
nous evils which mankind have so
long and so extensively suffered
from the wars which have desolated
the cath, this Convention is more
especially impressed with the great
responsibility of those who are in a
position to direct the councils Of ma
lions, and appeals to them to adopt
the most eHcctual measures 10 pre-
vent the continuance Of this terrible
scourge Of the human race.
The Convention is of opinion that
one of the greatest securities against
the recurrence Of international war
fare, would be The recognition Of the
principle Of arbitration, and the intro
duction Of a clause into treaties bct,cecn
nations, binding themselves TO refer
all differences that may arise, to the
adjudication of one or more friendly
powers; and it earnestly recon-
;ncnds the adoption Of this practice
The Convention, in a spirit OF
Christian love, respectfully urges
upon those who are invested with
the highest authority, the promotion
of peace on earth, and good will
to men,; and would also express its
conviction that such course would
be especially blessed of HIM, by
whom Kings reign, and Princes de-
cree justice
"Signed on behalf of the Convention
CHARLES HINDLEY, President"
The address has already been pre-
scented to several governments in Eu
rope, and we are promised some &C
count Of the manner in which it ha!
been received.
