POETRY Y.
SPEAR NO I'LL.

Speak no i'll Of erring kindred!
Breathe no SANDER on the name
or thy brother unbefiriended,
Tarnish not his humble fame.
Let thy lips fore'er be sealed
'Gainst the weakness of another,
Till thine own frail heart is healed,
Utter naught against thy brother.
Lips may check, aye, blight forever
Ardent hopes and joyous hearts;
Poison-iip'd, the tongue may sever
ldol-friends by cruel arts;
Or, harmless. it may firmly fasten
Kindred souls with golden coil.
And may, cheerful, aid and hasten
Youth to fortune from his toll.
Hard the heart that seeks its glory
On the crushed hearts funeral pile;
Weak that tongue that lends its story,
Only TO its kind revile.
Such spirit sinks our nature
Iramples on the law of love-
Spurns the blessings of our Maker,
Sent in kindness from above.
