/ Stick OF Type.

y stick Of Type, what shot shell
From war grim camp hath hall Tie power!
A stick Of TYNE, Wit h this one thought,
That Ere edom's Mans God-given dover.
That stick Type hath more Of might
Than warrior hosts or fortress walls,
And IL shalt batter towers 10 dust,
That laG-!i 4. siege or cannon balls.
That sick of Type, see it break
The eide Il o: the blood built thrones,
Aud l.ft ihe yoke nom millions, bowed
O or dead slave millions bleeding bones.
Taat stick Type, careerng fleets
Before it idly flap their wings,
And banncred ainies pass like ch:n,
Grown tedious 'mong remembered things.
That stick of Type! God bless the Faust
Who wrought Ii IN his conquering brain;
That stick ri Type. God bless the Hoe,
Who Scdtters 1t 40 road like rain.
The Type the Press, the living thought.
BY steam and lightning spread abroad,
Shall conquer yet, and bring 10 man,
The Freedom, Love and Truth Oh Col!
