Maxwelton, by bis second wife, who was daugh-

STANZAS.

Thy hand, my brother toiler,
There's something in its grasp,
That tells me It's no shadow,
Or useless thing, clasp;
But the lever Of an earnest will,
OF an honest heart, and true,
That finds In this world labor,
And, finding, dsres to do.
Thy lip has learned to whimper
No thoughts thou canst not feel;
Upon thy brow was never set
Hypocrisy's false seal;
There's candor In thy bluntness,
In thy rugged form of speech,
Worth more than all the smoothness
False etiquette can teach.
Then take my hand, my brother,
And an earnest word OF cheer,
To make more strong thy strength ming hope
And confidence Of fear;
There's many golden honor
Thy sweating brow should wear,
And yet thy hand will earn them,
If thy heart does not despair.
