USE THE PEN.
J. 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 lest 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 higher flight than thine;
Many an ocean cave still smothers
Pearl of price beneath the brine;
But the diver finds the treasure,
And the gem to light is brought,
So, thy minds unbounded 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 they?
All unknown the deeds of glory
Done of old by mighty men,
Save the few who live in story,
Chronicled by Sages' pen.
Use the pen, the Sun above US,
By whose pen the chemists art
Stamps the forms of those who love us,
Showing US their counterpart,
Cannot hold 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.

glad to see by the above, somebody else has
observed it than the young man himself. We
have little editorial den in which we per.
spire out the summer days, and torporiEe in
winter. To this most holy Of holy places, the
stranger is welcome. Papers from the burn
ing tropics, from the snowy North, from the
far East and the extreme West, are within
his hands reach. We do not hint to him as
in the manner of certain suriy editors. to let
our exchanges alone, but in the language Of
Shskspesrs. wa tell him to pitch ieto 'em.''
They can .evera6ll their pockets with those a
day old on the table. Indeed, we never sell
fresh exchanges after they are.used-they are
subject TO the call-of strangers and citizens.
We like to dispense good, and only regret
our means Of dispensation are SO limited
Peoaniss;ly they are mallindeed, bu,in gen
erous feelings of the heart, prompting US tc
share what we have, we allow no man te
claim prominence.
