The Late George L. Stearns.
By JOHN G. WHITTIER.

He has done the work of . true man,
Crown him, honor him, love him.
Weep over him, tears Of woman,
StoOp manifest brows above him
dusky mothers and daughters,
Nigila of mourning keep for him!
pm the mountains, and down by the waters,
Lif' up your voices and weep for him
lake up the bu,den, o Cretan,
Mourn for thy free provider!
At thy feet by the war-storm beaten,
Drop thy tears Of snow, o Ida
For the warmest Of hearts is frozen,
The freest of hands is still:
And the gap il our cked and chosen
The long years may not fill
No duty could overtask him,
No need his will outrun;
Or even our lips could ask him,
His hands the work had done
lie forgot his own soul for others,
Himself to his neighbor lending;
lie found the Lord in his suffering brothers,
And not in the clouds descending.
SO the bed was sweet to die oil,
Whence he saw the doors wide swung
Against whose toted iron
The strength Of his life was flung.
And he saw ere hs eye was darkened
The sheaves of the harvest-bringing
And knew while his ear yet hardened
The voice OF the reapers singing.
All, well The world is discreet;
There are plenty TO pause and wuit;
But here wa man who set hs feet
Sometimes In advance Of fate
llucked off the old bark VIII, Il the inner
Was slow to renew it
And put TO the Lords work the sinner
When saint. failed to DO it.
Never rode to the wrongs redressing
wOrthier paladin.
Shall he not hear the blessing,
coed and faithful, enter IN :"

Teach a child that there is harm in

soon as it discovers the cheat it won't
see no sin in any thing. That's the
reason deacon's sons seldom turn out
