POETRY,
A GRAND OLD POEM.

Who shall Judge man from manners?
Who shall know him by his dress2
Paupers may be fit for princes,
Princes fit for something less.
Crumpled shirt and dirty Jacket
May beclothe the golden ore
or the deepest thoughts and feelings
Satin vests could do no more.
There are springs of crystal nectar
Ever yelling out of stone;
There are purple buds and golden,
Hidden, crushed and overgrown;
God who counts by souls not dresses,
Loves and prospers you and me,
While he values thrones the highest
But as pebbles in the sea.
Man, upraised above his fellows,
Oft forgets his fellows then;
Masters, rulers, lords remember,
That your meanest kind are men
Men by labor, men by feeling,
Men by thought, and men by fame,
Claiming equal rights to sunshine,
In mans ennobling name.
There are foam-embodied oceans,
There are little well-clad rills,
There are feeble inch high sapplings,
There are cedars on the hills:
God, who counts by souls, not stations
Loves and prospers YOU and met
For, to Him, all vain distinctions
Are as pebbles in the sea.
Toiling hands alone are builders
OF nations wealth or fame;
Tilted laziness j, pensioned,
Fed and fattened on the same;
By the sweat Of others foreheads,
Living only to rejoice,
While the poor mans outraged freedom
Yainly lifted up its voice.
Truth and justice are eternal,
Born with loveliness and light,
Secret wrongs shall never prosper,
While there is a sunny right;
God, whose world-heard voice is singing
B0undess love to YOU and me,
Sinks oppression with its titles,
As the pebbles in the sea.

4 PIoUs FRAUD.-At tho anniversary Of the
American Sunday School Union, in Boston,
letter was read purporting to have been writ
ten many years ago by Daniel Webster, giving
an account Of conversation between himself
ard Thomas jefferson, at Jeferson's house in
Virginia. The following extract from it is,
to our mind, conclusive evidence that it is a
fraud:
Many years ago spent Sabbath with
Thomas Jefferson, at bis residence in Virginia.
1t was in the month Of June, and the weather
was delightful. While engaged in discussing
the beauties Of the Bible, the sound Of bell
broke upon our ears, when, turning TO tho
sage Of Monticello, remarked: H0tc street,
