WHAT MAKES A MAN.

Not numerous years, not heightened life,
Not pretty children and wife;
Not pins and chains and fancy rings,
Nor any such like trumpery things;
Not pipe, segar or bottled wine,
Not coats, nor boots, nor yet hat,
A dandy vest or trim cravat;
Not houses, land, or golden ore,
Not all the worlds wealth laid in store;
Not Mr., Rev., Sir, nor Squire,
With titles that the memory tire;
Not ancestry, traced back to Will,
Who went with Normandy to kill,
Not Latin, Greek, nor Hebrew lore;
Nor thousand volumes rumbled DER;
Not judges robe, nor mayors mace;
Not crowns that deck the royal race
These all united, never can
Avail to make Il single man.
A truthful soul, a loving minl
Full of affection for its kind;
a spirit firm, erect and free,
That never basely bends the knee;
That will not bear a feathers weight
Ofsuvery's chains for small or great
That truly speaks from God within,
And never makes a league with sin;
That snaps the fstters despots make
And loves the truth for its own sake;
That worshlps God and Him alone,
And bows nowhere but at Blis throne;
That trembes at no tyrants nod,
A soul that fears no one but God;
And thus can smile at curse or ban;-
That is the soul that makes man.
