Nothing Good Will Perish,

By J. HAGEN.
Nothing Good shall ever perish.
Only the corrupt shall die;
Truth, which men and angels cherish,
Flourishes eiernally.
None are wholly God -forsaken,
All his .acfed image bear;
None so lost but should awaken
In our hearts brothers care.
Not mind but has its mission
Power Of working NO or veal
So degraded none's condition.
Lat the world its weight may feel
Words of Kindness, words Of warning,
Deem not thou may'st work IN vain,
Even those thy counsel scorning,
on shall they return againl
Though the mind absorbed in pleasure
Holds the voice of counse! light,
Sill doth faithful memory treasure
What al fra, we seemed 10 slight.
-vvrv- -.-.-----------,---- aL.----
Nav, when we have pissed away,
Heal, perhaps, a spirit broken,
Guide brother led astray.
No one act but is recorded;
No, word but has its weight;
Every virtue is rewarded
Outrage punished soon Or late.
Let no be ng then be rated
As tang of hltls wotth
Every soul tuat is created.
Has It's par, 10 play on earth.
