Secrecy has been well termed the soul
Of NIL g'cat d signs; perhaps more has
been effected bY concealing our own de-:
signs, than by discovering those of our
enemies.

Never did Poesy appear
So full of heaven to me, as when
] saw how it would pierce through pride and
fear
To the lives of coarsest men.
1t may be glorious to write
Thoughts that shall glad the two or thee
High souls, like those far stars that come III
sight
Once in a century.
But better far it is to speak
One simple word, which now and then
Shall waken their free nature, in the weak
And friendless sons Of men:
To write some earnest verse or line,
Which, seeking not the praise of art,
Shall make clearer faii h and manhood slime
In the untutor'd heart
He who doth this, in verse or prose.
May be forgotten in his day,
But surely shall be crowned at last with those
Who live and speak for aye.

truth AND FREEDOM.

On the page that is immortal,
We the brilliant promise sec:
aye shall know the truth my people,
And its might shall make you free
For the truth then, let us battle,
Whatsoever fate betide;
Long the boast that we are freemen,
We have made and published wide.
He who has the truth and keeps it,
Keeps what not to him belongs
But performs selfish action,
That his fellow mortal wrongs.
He who seeks the truth and trembles
At the dangers he must brave,
Is not fit to be freeman
He at best is but a slave.
He who hears the truth, and places
Its high promtings under ban,
Loud may boast of all that's manly,
But can never be man,
Friend, this simple lay who readest,
Be not thou like either tbcni-1~
But to truth give utmost freedom,
And the tide it raises, stem.
Bold in speech and bold in action
Be forever Time will test,
Of the free sourd and the slavish,
Which performs iife's mission best,
BE thou liks the noble ancient
Scorn the threat that makes thee fear,
Speak no matter what betide thee;
Let them strike, but make them hear .
BE thou like the first apostles
Be thou like heroic PAUL;
If free thought seeks expression,
Speak it boldly-speak it all.
Face thine OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES;
Scorn the prison, rack or rod;
And if thou hast truth to utter,
Speak, and leave the rest to God

A Death Bed.

Her suffering ended with the day,
Yet lived she at its close,
And breathed the long, long night away,
In statue-like repose.
But when the sun, in all his state,
Illumed the eastern skies,
She pass'd through Glory's morning gate,
And walk'd in Paradise
