"THE MAN"

The briars usurped the field,
FOR nothing but weeds and briars
The idle land would yield,

To say it was to do it,
When he had vowed his VOW;

Himself he grsspcd the plough.
The neigbbors hocked around him,
And gazed with purblind eyes,
Or lifted up their tiInid hands
In marvellous surprise.
Many there were who Knocked him,
Aud few there were, who then
Went home with hearts uplifted,
Wiser and better men.
But the Man wrought on, undaunted;
No stint nor stay he knew,
Till, where The wild weeds hourished,
Fair grains and grasses grew.
The stubborn glebe he tilleth.
with an iron, resolute will,
And the blossoms of the spring-time
The air with perfume fill.
The autumn brought the frultaBe--
The corn, the oil, and wines
And the Man ne said, yet huonbly,
10 these good deeds are mines
Though have read but little,
Sure have wrought the more,
And have made two blades of grass grow
Where one blade grew before"
By brave words and stout labor,
His high success he taught;
And though his phrase was homeiy,,
twas Manhood spake and wrought
And when his work was ended,
He laid calmly down to rest,
Full of hope and reverent meeknesS'
With the sunshine on bis breast
And when flowers doomed above him,
And time some years had won,
