POETRY.


se5-Tbe following extracts are from the
poem read by Apson G.'CLestsr, of the Bpf.
talo IN. W Express,at the late Editorial Con-
ventiou. They have the clear ring Of thu
true pos,ical bullion, and by their beauty ant
aothe ess speak right TO the heart. What Q
pleasure editing would be if his advice wa
everywhere followed in the newspaper world.
s*s r
See that your columns fail not 10 contain ~
phe glorious products of a working brain; ,.
Pause ere you put that "TIorrid murder" in.
Think ere you chronicle that iright!ul sin.
li"like cures like" as homeopathists say,
Publish rape and robbery every day;
But since one crime another crime ensures,
Since vice from reading vice fresh zeal sesures
DispcnseIlo more this pabuuIn ofwuc-
Call IN the Cherub, let the Demon 60 4
Too many imbs usurp the throne and place
Where Beauty should unveil her natchcss face;
Andmany thistle lifts its sharpened spear
/ Where only Virtues lilies should appear;
Why should we offer hus<s when corn and meat
Are plenty, for the iamished soul TO eat!
Why sacrifice our dearest hopes and anis
In playing these utitaianRgan
Where Avarce is sure 10 be the winner,
Leaving its partner MINIS dimes and dinner.
Then let us plead for virtue, beauty, truth;
Aid ,ottering Age, restrain mpetnous Yontli;
Chase from our columns sa,yrs, vampires, ghouls,
Fit only for the wonderment OF fools, s
And beckon there the spttes that sport and dance
Within the fragrant meadows OF Romance; {
Invite the bue-eyed Graces and the Loves. b..
Have less to do with eagles, more witbsdoves;
Chop fewer cords Of iogic-piier time
From sterner duties for the joys Of Rhyme =
Spurn what is evil, what doth evil look,
Take to our hearts The good, as David took
The damscl unite lis---s search after Eold.--
As Herod sought for Bethleheni's babe OF o'd'-.'
.nd lerve al baser metals for the men
Who WELD neaner weapon than the Pen.
This is our duty, it should be our prile.--
God bless the man who su hath lived aud died!
