SOUANDERED LIVES.

The fisherman wales the surees;
The sailor sails over the sea:
The soldier steps bravely TO battle
The woodman lays axe to the tree.
They are each Of the breed of the heroes.
The manhood attempted in strife;
strong hands that go lightly 10 labor,
True hearts that take comfort in life
In each is the seed to replenish
The world with the YigOr it needs
The centre of honest affections
The impulse to generous deeds.
But the shark drinks the blood of the fisher.
The sailor is dropped in the sea
The soldier lies cold by the cannon
The Noodmaa is crushed by his tree.
Zach prodigal life that Is, wasted
In manly achievements unseen,
But strengthens the days of the coward.
And strengthens the crafty AID mean.
The blood of the nobIest If layishcd
That the selfish profit may find,
But God sees the lives that are squanderad.
and We to His wisdom are blind
