Thoughts on FalSehOOd,

On the page that is immortal,
We the bril- liant promise see:
aye shall now the Truth, my people,
And its might shall make you free!'
For the Truth, then, let us battle,
whatsoever fate betide,
Long the boast that We are FREEMEN,
We have made and published wide.
tie who has the Truth, and keeps it,
Keeps what not to him belongs,
But performs q selfish action,
That his fellow mortal wrongs.
He who seeks the Truth, and trembles
AT the dangers he must brave,
Is not fit to be Freeman:
He, at best, is but slave.
He who hears the Truth, and places
Its high prompting under ban,
Loud may boast of all that's manly,
But can never be a MAN.
Friend this simple lay who readest,
Be not thou like either them
But to Truth give utmost freedom,
And the tide it raises, stem.
Bold in speech, and bold in action,
Be forever!-Time will test,
Of the free-souled and The slavish,
Which ful6ls life's mission best.
Be thou like the noble Ancient
Scorn the threat that bids thee fear;
Speak.-no matter what betide thee;
Let them strike, but make them hear!
Be thou like the first Apostles
Be thou like heroic Paul;
If u free thought seek expression,
Speak it boldIy.-Speak it all.
Face thine cnemies-accusers,
Scorn the prison, rack, or rod!
And, if thou hast Truth to utter,
Speak! and leave the rest 20 God!

Fraternity.

Fraternity.
What though the crowds who shout the wore
Pervert the meaning it should bear,
And feel their hearts with hatred stirred,
Even while their pluudits load the air;
Yet shall OF we, thou mighty THOUGHT,
Despair thy triumph yet to see,
Nor doubt the good that sha II be wrought
Iu thy great name, FRATERNIrY.
BY prophets told, by psalmists sung
Preached on the mount by lips sublime,
The theme of every sage's tongue
For twice q thousand years of time;
What happy progress hast thou made?
What bliss to man has flowed from thee?
What war and bloodshed hast thou stayed?
What peace affirmed? FRATERNITY.
Alas, the years have failed to teach
The obvious lesson to mankind;
A myriad preachers failed to preach
Conviction to the deaf and blind.
Still do We rush to furious war,
Still to the SLAYER bend the knee,
And still, most Christian we are.
Forget thy name, FRATERNITY.
And shall we, crammed with mutual hates,
Despise our neighbor for flaw?
And sneer because he promulgates
Before he understands thy law?
No! let US hail the word of might,
Breathed by nation of the free;
Thy recognition is light
Thy name faith, FRATERNITY.
The preacher may belle his creed,
But still the truth preserves it's flame;
The sage may do foolish deed,
Yet wisdom shares not in his shame.
Be scorning hushed-be cavil dumb
Whatever evils men may see,
Well look for blessings yet to come
In thy great name, fraternity.
