1t Isn't All I'm Bringing Up,

1t ism all in bringing up"
Let folks say what they will;
To silver scour pewter cup
1t will be pewter still.
Even old wise Solomon,
Who said train up child"
If / mistake not, had son
Who proved rattle-brain and wild!
A man of mark, who fain would pass .
For lord of sea and land,
May have the training of son,
And bring him up full grand;
May give him all the wealth of lore,
OF college and of school, |
But after all, may make no more
Than just decent fool.
Another, raised by penury,
Upon her bitter bread,
Whose road to knowledge is like that
The good, to heaven may tread.
He's got spark of natures light
He fans it to the flame,
Till in its burning letters bright,
The world may read his name.
lift were all in "bringing up"
In counsel and restraint,
Such rascals had been honest men
I'd been myself saint.
Oh, it isn't all in ''bringing up"
Let folks say what they win.
Neglect may dim silver cup,
But twill be silver still.

All, here II is, the sliding rail
That marks the old remembered spot
The gap that struck our school-boy trail,
The crooked path across the lot
1t left the road by school and church,
A penciled shadow-nothiug more,
That parted from the silver birch,
And ended at the farmhouse door.
No line or compass traced its plans
With frequent bends from left to right,
In aimless, wayward curves It ran,
But always kept the door in sight.
The gabled porch, the woodbine green,
The broken mill stone at the mill, -
Though many road may stretch between
The truant child may see them still.
No rocks across the pathway lie,-
No fallen trunk is DER IL THROWN
And yet il winds--we know not why,
And turns as if for tree or stone.
Perhaps some lover trod the way
With shaking knee or leaping heart
And so it often runs astray
with sinuous sweep or sudden start
Or one, perchance, with clouded brain,
From some unholy banquet Ieeled,-
And since, our devious steps maintain
His track across the trodden field.
Nay, deem not thus--no earth-born will
Could ever trace faultless line;
Our truest steps are human STILL
To walk answering were divine!
Truants from love, we dream of wrath.
y, rather let us trust the more
Trough all the wandrings of the path,
We still can see our fathers door.
