The Times, Measures, and Men.
BY JAMES RUSSELL LOWELL.

The times demand new measures and new men
The world advances and in time outgrows
The laws that in our fathers DAYS were best
And doubtless after us, some purer scheme
Will be shaped out by wiser men than we
Made wiser by the steady growth of Truth.
We cannot bring Utopia at once
But better almost be at work in sin,
Than In brute inaction browse and sleep.
No man is born into the world, whose work
Is not born with him there is always work,
And tools to work withal, for those who will
And blessed are the horny hand of toll
The busy world shoves angrily aside
The man who stands with arms akimbo set,
Until occasion tells him what to do;
And he who waits to have his task marked out
Shall die and leave his errand unfulfled.
Our time is one that calls for earnest deeds,
Reason and government, like two broad seas,
earn for each other with outstretched arms
Across this narrow isthmus of the throne,
And roll their white surf higher every day
The field lies wide before us where to reap
The easy harvest Of "a deathlesS name,
Though with no better sickles than our words
My soul is not a palace Of the past,
Where outworn creeds. like Romc's gray SEN
ate, quake,
Hearing afar the Vandals trumpet hoarse,
That shakes old systems with an ague fit
The time is ripe, and rotten-ripe for change
Then let it come. | have no dread of what
Is called for by the instinct of Mankind,
Nor think that God world will fall apart
Because we tear n parchment more or less
Truth is eternal, but her cfiiuence
With endless change is fitted to the hour;
Her mirror is turned forward to reflect
The promise fthe future, not the past.
do not fear to follow out the truth,
Albeit along the preeipice's edge
Let us speak plain there is more force in names
Than most men dream of, and a lie may keep
It's throne n whole age longer, if it skulk
Behind the shield Of some fair seeming name.
