Sc He PEN.
BY ]. E. CARPENTER.

Use the Pen-there's magic in it,
Never let it lag behind;
Write thy thought, the pen can win it
From the chaos of the mind.
Many gem is lost forever
BY the careless passer-by;
But the gems of thought should never
On the mental pathway lie
Use the Pen-reck not that others
Take a higher fight than thine;
Many an ocean cave still smothers
Pearls of price beneath the brine;
But the diver finds the treasure,
And the gem to light is brought
So, thy minds unbouEded measure
May give up some pearl OF thought.
Use the Pen-the days departed
When the sword alone held sway,
Welded by the lion-hearted,
Strong in battle! where are theyf
All unknown the deeds of glory
Done of old by mighty men,
Save the few who live in story,
Chronicled by Sage's pen.
Use the Pen--the Sun aboveus,
By whose aid the chemists art
Stamps the forms of those who love us
Showing us their counterpart
Cannot hold a higher power
Than within the pen enshrined,
When, with wisdom for its dover,
1t daguerreotypes the mind.
Use the pen-but let it never
Slander truth with death black ink;
Let it be thy best endeavor
But to write what good men think;
So thy words and thoughts, securing
Honest praise from learning's tongue,
May in time be as enduring
As the strains which Homer sung
