/ Aud stife out the cry lor won On fehul
The pres, aud Il alone, eanpul it down.
The prcss hath ever ucrcdly sustained
The rights Of woman socially her right
To have an education, high as mans
Her rights religious and domestic right.
In al the dear relationships OF life
In the sweet ties Of sister, mother wife
And friend, the pres hath honored and rcvered
The rights Of woman. May Il still he Kind
To her In this II sees the great mistake,
When she forakes her glorious womanhood
With all It's holy wife aud mother rights
For ballot-box and public Offices
When this impending issue has been pest
What shame will darkcn our beloved landi
The interest educational, the press
Doth also aid. In the establishing
OF schools, II ever takes an active part,
Aud many words Of cheer its noble voice
| Hath spoken unto those who would advance
The human mind, but struggle on amid
Opposing ignorance and strife. OH who
Can tell, how many school-houses now stand
That owe their origin unto some word
Some wise suggestion, Of some journalist
That fell upon appreciatiye minds.
The many tongues Of Science now converse
I And their discussions deep, arc shaking earth.
What is il gives the son of science strength
And courage to 60 on, as he surveys
With telscopic vision, stars remote,
Holds worlds and systems in his greedy grasp,
Takes hold OF suns, their rays of light divides
And adds their ustre to his shining CROWN
What Is il cheers him, as he dives beneath
The ocean waves and through the depths Of
earth,
To gather gems to grace the page sublime,
The science Of geology doth give
To the unfolding mysteries Of truth =?
What friend stands by, with strengthniug
sympathies,
As he doth analy1e the substances
Ofearth, prove their atiniies, and find
Their values chemical, and all their worth
Make known for mankinds daily benefit
1t is the press, that cheers him on his way
Nothing doth WELD 80 powerful a sway
Upon the literary world, as doth
The art of printing. knowledge it hath
brought
Within the reach ofal. II makes the thoughts
OF all the great and good of earth our own.
We can sit by our freside, and know
What doth exist all DER the earth We view
The scenes the traveller describes, aud know
Almost as well, how other lands appear,
As flour eyes, and not our minds, had been
Cast o'cr the scene
The press is like field
Wherein poetic 0ow'rs bloom forth, and ill
The soul with gladncss like q sweet perfume;
And where, alas Sometimes those noxious
weeds
Wholesome, and degrading hetlons grow.
We do not mean those noble romances,
That through a bright imagination teach
Sweet lessons in morality aud love,
Far these are worthy ola noble place
Before the reading world. The jewclcd wrcaths
Of literature are spread all Ger the earth,
And many desert minds, that never would
Have felt the joys ecs,scy, or known
The ehay n-born pleasure otexpanding of thought
Within the influence of this wond rous pow'r,
Now blossom like the rose, and glow with rich,
Pure ideas, that angels would not blush
To see reflected on the walls OF hehv n.
II is the power Of the press that moulds
Society. The mass Of people have
Not courage 10 presist in anything
That meets with editorial contempt.
The press Is great: what it condemns must fail,
And what II sanctions ever must prevail.
Tts moral and religious powir no one
Can estimate. The thoughts and sentiments
The press doth put in motion, win move on,
And who can tell, when they will cease 10 roll,
Or unto what result they ever lead
Oh that the day may quickly come when all
The press shall be united DER the world,
And moved by religious principle;
When no impuriy of word or thought
