OUR MANHOOD.
BY A, r.. JOHNSON.


We've read Of the gap In The Forum
Which ope'd in the midst Of the play,
Before Roman thousands who gathered
Once on high festive day.
Where yawning in horror, the people
Brought treasures from every home,
TIL the oracle spoke, 'It Is needless,
We cry for the manhood Of Romel'
Then into the gulf their learned,
Most honored phi Osopher leAped,
From piles of rich goods, which, to offer
The Earth God, around him hay heaped
The God was appeased, (thus the story),
The earth closed her mouth, and the
throng
Dispensing, he 'er ceased to lament Ger
The lost, gifted Curtains Of song!
Not only in old Roman legends.
Heaped Der with the dust Of dead years,
Do We read ofa wasted greatness
Do We marvel q nations tears;
But here, In our day is the Forum,
Where pleasures gay votaries meet,
To smile DER Liie's tragedy olden
When 10 the gap opens at their feet.
And some feign to see not the danger,
And soIne In dismay dee the spot,
While Others cast In Of their treasures, I 'SSs9
Forgetting how hard they were bought.
Oh! Peace, how 1t psles down the chasm
Oh, Love how 1t walls ont despair
OBJ, Hope, Faith, Wealth, Honor, Position,
What can TO your ruin comparep
Yet wide yawns the gulf in the Forum
And forth from It's hell-deep doth come,
This fearful scul-doom Of the thousands,
"Give! give yet the manhood Of Rome~
Aud still To the earth-god they hearken,
And, into the gulf one by one.
AT last giving all, plunge the wietched,
The lost, ruined souls undone
Oh God, mark the lives that are wastedi
A nations tears blot out the glare,
With which fendlsh crimes lights IN trl-
umph
The black, midnight sky of despaifl
oh, hlest, tried, and free, "Heaven's chosen"
Oh, land on whose proud head hath come
This stroke for your sins, we implore you,
Spare spare us the "manhood OF Rome"

All my sin brought Him
And my woe.

Heard His small, still whisper,
"'fis for thee,"

For ne knows
How to steal the bitter
From life's woes;
How TO gild the tear-drop
With His smile,
Make the desert garden
Bloom while.

On His might,
All seems light.
