WHAT THE VOICE SAID.

Naddenel by Earth's wrong and evil
. Lord 7 | cried in sudden ire,
q From thy right hand, clothed with thuader
Shake the bolted Gre!
Love is lost, and faith is dying;
With the brute the man is sold;
And the dropping blood Of labor
hardens into gold
" Here the dying wall of Famine,
There the battles groan of pain;
And, in silence, smooth-iacei Mammcn
Reaping men like grain.
g. Where is God, that we should fear HING
Thus the earth-born Titans say;
God if thou art living, hear u.s.
Thus the weak ones pray
Thou, the patient Heaven npbraiding,n
Spake a solemn Voice within;
Weary of our Lord forbeararce,
Art thou free from sin?
Fearless brow to him uplifting,
Canst thou for his thunders call,
Knowing that to Quilts attraction
Eyermore they fall!
" Know ST thou not all germs of Evil
In thy heart await their time
Not myself but Gods restraining,
Stays their growth OF crime
"Could'st thou boast oh, child of weakness,
Der the sens Of wrong and strife,
Were tie strong temptations planted
In thy path Of lite
Thou hast seen two streamets gushing
From one fountain, clear and free,
But by widely varying channels
Searching for the sea
~Glideth one through greenest valleys,
kissing them with lips still sweet;
One, mad roaring down the mountains,
Stagnates at their feet.
Is it choice whereby the Parseo
Knees before lis mothers free
In his black tent did the Tartar
Choose his wandering sine!
" He alone, whose hand is bounding
Human power and human will,
Looking through each soul S surrounding,
Knows its good or i'll.
" For myself while wrong and sorrow
NT,I.o e +boa e., a., +-,,,,. ,.,,,,o,l
Coward vert thou not to utter
What the heart must feel.
Earnest words must needs be spoken
When the warm heart blceds or burns
With the scom Of wrong, or pity
For the wronged, by turns.
" But, by all thy natures weakness,
Hidden faults and lolIies known,
Be thou, in rebukng evil,
Conscious of thine own.
" Not the less shall stern eyed Duty
To thy lips her trumpet set
Bet with harsher blasts shall mngle
Wailugs of regret"
Cease not, Voice Of holy speaking
Teacher sent OF God, be near,
Whispering through the days cool silence,
Let nay spirit hear!
Lo. when thoughts ofeyil doors
Wakcn scorn or hatred move,
Shall moumtul lellow-ecling

Pass linn Round-Whcn the Chesapeake weslt
down on Lake Erie, Mr.. D. A. Folsom was drown

shore at Eric, Pa. Contrary to the wishes of the
John Dillon, Esq" insisted upon the idle formal

brought in Il bill little more than equal to the
money which the deceased had IN his pocket. The
Cleveland Herald says
When the brother Of Mr. Folsom arrived at Erie
the above bill was presented to him with the Ic-
mark that there ere S25 found on the body, and
that 81 cents more were his due. " That money,
