POETRY.
God Bless tho Honest Laborer.

Uou okoSs tho honest L8b0fer.
God bless the honest laborer,
The hardy son of toll,
The worker in the Gathering mills,
The deliver i'm the soil:
The ones whose brawny hands have torn
From earth her boarded wealth.
Whose sole return for ceaselcss toll
Is natures boon-sweet health.
Bless him who wiclds the ponderous sledge,
Clad in his leathern mail,
That, safe rs warriors panoply,
Guards from the seething hail,
That gushes from beneath each stroke,
Each mighty crushing blow,
Who seeks to tighten labor's toll,
Where ruddy fires glow.
Bless him who turns the matted soil,
Who with the carly dawn,
Hastens to gather natures store
Hastes to the yellow corn!
Who plants in natures bosom wide
The fruitful golden grain,
And gives il to her guardian care,
The sunshine and the rain.
Bless him who lays the massive keel,
Who bends the tIusty sail,
That bids the ocean wandcrer
Safe battle with the gale;
Who rears the tall and slender mast,
Whence floats to every breeze,
The stars and stripes of liberty,
A rainbow DER the seas.
Bless him whose ribbed palace rests
Upon the heaving sea,
Who scorns the dangers Of the food,
The breaker-guarded lea;
Who in the ocean cradle sleeps
Calmly in storm, fraught hoar,
Cnfearing that his bark will quail
Before the tempest's power.
Bless him who gives each bcauteous thought
A resting place-a name
And twines its ancient glories
With the fadeless wreath Of fame;
Who sends it forth on every breeze,
And bids it live to bless;
While ceaselcs clicks the slender type,
And groans the printing press.
Bless all who toll. Gods blessing rest
On them with double power,
Whose honest brow the sweat-drops deck
In every daylight hour,
Bless them. though poor, and may they win,
What wealth can never gain,
Contentment with their lot on earth,
A balm for every pain.
Bless them and may the workman's hand
That framed the giant earth,
That bade each star in glory shine,
That gave the seas their birth;
Reserve on high a resting-place,
Within the realms Of light,
For every honest son of toll,
When passed deaths darksome night.
