IN Ohio upon tho Presidents veto Of the
River aud Harbor bill, Let US now see
what Southern Senator says Of another
leading measure of the Administration, by
which, IN his opinion the Government has
been converted into "Shia plaster Bank"

Bread from Brain.

Where the iron OF our lives
i wrought out in fire and smoke,
There The mighty Vulcan strives;
Hot The furnace, hard The stroke:
There The windy bellows blow,
There The sparks in millions glow,
There, on anvil of The world,
l. The changing hammer hrrl'd.
Hard the labor small The gain,
Is in making bread from brain.
Where that namelesS stone is raised,
Where The patriots bones were placed,
Lived he-liule loved and praised;
Died he little mourned and graced:
There he sleeps who knew no resi-,
There unbles, by those he blessed;
Here he starved while sowing seed,
Where he starved The worms now feed.
Hard the labor small lbe gain,
Is in making bread from brain.
In that chamber, lone and drear,
Sits poet writing flowers,
Bringing Heaven to earth more near,
Raining thoughts in dewy showers
While he sings of nectar rare,
Only is The ink k-bowl there;
OF feasts of gods he chanls-high trust,
As he eats The mouIdy crust.
Hard the labor small The gain,
Is IN making bread from brain.
When the prophets warning voice
Shouts the burhen of the world,
Ssckcloih robes must be his choice,
Ashes on his head be hurled.
Where lyrsn,s live al ease,
Where false priests do a, they please,
He is scorned and pierced inside,
He Is stoned and crucified.
Hard the labor small The gain,
Is in making bread from brain.
Patriot! Poet Prophet! feed
Only on the mouIdy crust:
TyranI, fool, and false priest, need
All the crumb, and scorn the just,
Lord how long how long, oh Lord
Bless, oh God, minds unshealhed sword
Let the pen become sabre,
Let thy children eat whe labor;
Bless the labor bless The gain,
In the making bread from brain.
