A Spirits abroad-uark ii speaks through all
nations;
To mon of all grades, all professions, all
stations;
To workers of wrong, in tones loud and strong,
1t t,hundcrs entire condemnation;
While those who for right, strive onward with
might,
Receive its sincere commcndation.
Against union for pclf, or to crafty self,
Against quarrcls and strife between husband
and wife,
Or whatc'cr to fcud tends, bctwixt ncighbors
and friends,
And disturbs social peace, to make malice in
crease,
Until war, with lis guilt of brothers blood split
by foul murdcrous hands, at unchristian COM
mands,
Shall drcnch with human gore, what was stain
less before,
And leave on its track, curse tcnfold more
black,
Than ban for brother slain, on frntrcidal Cain
Against slavery for man, whatever the PLAN
That which spends on tho soil, his unrccompcn.
scd toll,
Or for service or trade, leaves his labor unpaid
Or ranks him with cattle as personal chattcl;
Or opinions so taught, as to check his free
thought,
Aud to make him concedc to be ruled by a
creed,
A law, or invention, of human convention,
Till he dare not speak out, what he knows
beyond doubt
For fear Of prescription for honest conviction;
Against all temptations and denominations,
Which cnticc man TO stray from righteous
way;
Against business or trade. by which people are
made
More contentious or mad, moro unhappy or
sad;
Against thought, word, or deed, by which one
can succeed
Ills conscience to smother and injurc another;
Agaist powers which control for sin, body or
soul,
Or frauds or deception, without an exception,
1t hurls forth its dread malcdcton
But on all that shall tend to bring sin to an end,
Domestic ties strengthen, and social cords
lcngthcr,
Vile contentious shall hush, soul oppression
crush,
| Until war shall no moro drcnch nation in gore;
Show compassionate heed to all such as have
need,
Shall console the DISTRESSED and support the
Oppressed,
Shield the weak from the strong, guard the right
against wrong;
Shall dcthronc tyranny and the bondman set
free,
! Gross scfshncss destroy and idle hands employ;
Shall repay honest toll with the fruits Of tho
soil,
Reward each employment to its full enjoyment,
And shall not give the few what TO many is
duo;
The hypocrtc unmusk, though in splendor he
hask,
And his victim protect from cold scorn and
neglect
Help each prodigal son, strong temptation to
shun,
Till his vice he laments and his missdceds
repents,
And then shall restore him to friends who de-
plore him;
That 5igotry shall Danish, make superstition
vanish,
The light of knowledge shed truths influence
spread.
Till blind ignorance dread and black falschood
ore fed;
On those who treat others, rs if they were
brothers,
Who find in each creature some rcdeeminp
feature,
Think no wretch so deprav'd that he cannot bc
sav'd;
Who measure not their deeds by human law,
or crcods.
But treat with kindness all, though deep il
crime and thraili
Thus to love eternal, changing hate internal,
It breathes out its sweet benediction!
