THE WORLD WOULD BE BETTER.
BY GERALD MASSEY.

If men cared less for wealth and fame
And less for battle fields and glory;
If wit in human hearts a name
Seemed better than in song and story /;
If men, INSTEAD of nursing pride,
Would learn to hate it and abhor it
If more relied
On love to guide
The world would he the better for it.
If men dealt lees IN stocks and lands
And more in bonds and deeds fraternal
If loves work had NOR willing hands
To link this world to the supernal;
If stored up loves oil and wine.
And on bruised hearts would kindly pour it
If yours aud 'mine"
Would once combine
The world would be the better for it.
If more would act the play of Life
And fewer spoil it in rehearsal
If Bigotry would sheathe ITS knit,
Till Good became more universal;
If Custom, gray with age grown,
Had fewer blind men To adore it.
If Talent shone
In Truth alone
The world would be the better for it.
If men were wise in little things,
Aft citing less IN all their dealingsi
If hearts had fewer rusted strings
TO isolate Their kindly feelings;
II men. when Wrong b, ats down the Right,
Would strike together and restore it,
IT Right nl;fde Might
In every fight
The world would be the better for 1t.
It seems Sn odd thing,
That the South will stIll sing,
In spite of their stOmachs.
That Cotton is Kiug!
For tits old adage,
And frequently said,
We do without breeches,
But not without bread ~
