Exultng and proud, like boy 1t his play,

He gazed for while on its beauties, and then
lie cut 1t, and shaped it. and called Il PEN.
But its magical use he discovered not vet,
Till he dipped its bright lips in fountain Of Jet
And Oh what glorious thing Il became
FoT II spoke 70 the world IN language Of fame /,
While its master wrote on, like a being inspired,
Till the hearts Of the millions were melted or
fired;
Il came as a boon and blessing to men
The peaceful, the pure, the victorious PES.
YOuag Genius went forth on his rambles once

A substance unknown which he brought frora the
ground
He fused Il with fire, and rejoiced at the change,
As he moulded the ore into characters strange,
Till his thoughts aud his efforts were crowNed

For an engine uprose, and he called it the Pass.
The Pen and the Press, best alliance combined

And this sent them forth to the end Of the earth
Their battles. for Truth were triumphant indeed
And the rod of the Tyrant was snapped like reed .
They were made TO exalt us, to teach us to bless
Those invincible brothers-the Pen and the Press.

to the Northern army what StonewAll Jack

TO THE BABY.

Funny thing baby is,
Curious little creature
Funny is its little phiI,
Comic every feature.
Helpless thing q baby is;
Tiny hands uplifting
Der the troubled tide Of life
Into which it's drifting.
Mystery baby is
Memories Of heaven
Still must hoyer in the soul
Such a short time given.
Solemn thing a baby Is,
Since it must inherit
All the loss and gain of life,
All the sin and merit.
Funny, helpless, mystic, sad
Let me tell you, Freddy,
Half the good and sweet of life
Is the getting ready.
Yours the sunshine-t take il all F..
While you're and weak tiny,
By-and-by the days that come
May not be so shiny.
