THE BOLD AND TRUE.

Who is Bold and True
He that dares act the right defying sneers--
That calmly braves the scornful glance Of wealth
In honor of his cause.
WHO'S Bold and Truel
Tie that cares little for the worlds applause,
And fawns not on the proud that thrift may come
Ahd kneeis but to his God.
Who Bold and True ?
He that serves the Beloved Land
I'm honesty OF heart, and with pure purpose
Not of the hireing herd.
- WHO'S Bold and True?
The hardy workngman,
Whose vote cannot be bribed-and who still less
Would yield it to command,
Who is Bold and True
lie that stands up for all Humanity,
And owns his kind, not in the rich alone,
But in the poor and low.
Who Is Bold and True
He that would strike the errors Of the Past,
And seeks necessarily TO raise his fellows
To higher, purer thought
Who Is Bold and True
The firm true-hcarted Patriot,
That to his countrys wish would give his arm,
His substance, or his life.
Who is Bold and True
He that speaks hate of lies and tyranny,
Whether they come from kings or unjust laws,
Conventions schools or sects.
Who are Bold and True
An all that dare he men:
Stunning misrule. whether OF government,
Or of their gross lusts.

WATCH, MOTHER,

Mother watch the little feet
Climbing DER the garden wall,
Bounding through the busy street.
Ranging cellar, shed and hall
Never count the moments lost,
Never mind the time it costs
Little feet will go astray,
Guide them, mother while you may
Mother watch the little hand,
Picking berries by the way,
Making houses in the sand,
Tossing up the fragrant hay.
Never dare the question ask,
why to me this heavy task ~
These same little hands may prove
Messengers of light and love.
Mother watch the little tongue,
Prattling eloquent and wild;
What is said and what is sung,
By the happy joyous child.
Catch the word while yet unspoken,
Stop the vow before It's broken ;
This same tongue may yet proclaim
Blessings in the SayiOur's name.
Mother watch the little heart,
Beating soft aud warm for you
Wholesome lessons now impart
Keep, o keep that young heart true.
ENtricating every weed,
Sowing good and precious seed
Harvest rich you then may see,
RipeBing for eternity,
