TRUE EEEROISHE.

Let others write of battles fought
On bloody, CHASTITY fields,
Where honor greets the man who wins,
And death the man who yields;
But will write of him who fights
And vanquIshes his sins,
Who struggles on through weary years
Against himself, and wins.
lie is hero staunch and brave
Who fights an unseen foe,
And puts at last beneath his feet
His passions base and low,
And stands erect in manhOOd's might,
Undaunted, undismayed-
The bravest man that drew a sword
In fOray or in raid.
In calls for something more than Drawn
Or muscle to O'ercOme
An enemy who marcheth not
With banner, plume and drum
foe forever lurking nigh,
With silent, stealthy tread.
Forever near your board by day,
At night beside your bed.
All honor then to that brave heart,
Though poor or rich he be,
Who struggles with his baser part
Who cOnquers, and is free
He may not wear a hero's crown,
Nor fill hero's grave;
But truth will place his name amoog
The bravest OF the brave,
