all accepted definitions
we consider this subject by the conclusion of
our own deduct ions. We discard authors,
and come in direct conflict with every system
affixed standard lexicon cxtant. We ask for
the emotions and back ofthat the incentives
which promote them.
Bravery is virtue, and virtue the reflex of
divinity, the response of inherent, and eleva-
ted judgment, subdued and toned by defer
entiM regard for moral law, as affiliated with
properly organized social compact. In this
we have model who breads and shrinks from
the contcst,-yct beneath the external blench-
ing lies the armory Of strife:-the final rcadi-
ness to stake all on the inevitable issue.
Modes,y may be oppressed without being
unconscious of the inflicted wrong,-but while
1t suffers by liberation, the imposition endured
is all the more keenly ielt because its mag
unanimous concessions refuse to assert its
own. So bravery, uncontaminatcd by the
blustcr of the bravado, sees at glance the
beginning, and considers the ultimatum to
the opponent, in conjunction with the we'll
being of that social status to which, as an
integral member he owes allegiance with the
same sifted precaution as though that opponent
were himself
Physical courage, aside from full moral
restraint, is but the brazen front of the craven
who dssembcs to public opinion, that actual
regard which he entertans for himself.
But bravery, associated piM unasses,aJic
rsctitudc Of purpose, cannot but foster self
esteem which, though s'it vauntc,h not itself, :"
yet is ever nourished by the truit OF its own
care. find though the snory raiments Of it,,

We must feel the springing fountains swelling

their infusing freshness and purity.

A Harvest Song.

The toll of day is ended,
The night is in her noon;
And the harvest song swcls blithely up
Beneath the harvest moon.
Then tread quicker measure,
And chant II louder strain;
With dance and song the days prolong
That bring the golden grain.
From ont the distant mountain
Comes the voice of the cascade,
And the nearer CLEAN of its silver stream
Makes glad the silent glade;
Through all the shadowy forest
Is heard the ia II of leaves
And the timid hare treads stealthily
Among the nodding shcaves.
And now on every hillside,
The purple vintage glows;
A. when deeper radiance falls
From daylight at its CLOSE;
No time is it for sadness,
Dependency, or fear,
When autumn comes III gladneSS
To crown the fruitful year.
Dear is the pleasant lcaftime,
When all is soft around;
When frost imprisoned rivulcts
Are melting into sound.
Aud dear, too, if the season,
When spring and summer meet;
When the woods are faint with odors,
And the hills are dim with heat.
But spring is but for pasture,
And summer but for show.
While autumn. like a crowned king,
Has riches to bestow;
So he shall be the monarch
OF all the shining year,
And a crown he shall wear, a sceptre bear,
or fruits and the golden ear.
