for the AvANT CoURIER.-
The BlAnderer.
By WILL ARTHUR DAVIS.

He wears the image of his Maker, vet
His tongue is venomed, and with careless
speech
He seeks to rob the brow OF jewels, set
BY virtues hand;-for all are in his reach.
He reads within the maiden's downcast
eyes,
A silent history of guilt and shame;
The timid blush he calls foul disguise,
And tells that virtue lives but in the
name.
No love nor friendship lives within his
soul;
No home of earth is sacred; cen the
grave
Is desecrated by this human ghouL,
And trembling virtue weeps, with none
to save.
lie sees no purity in all the earth,
And truth and honor find no resting
place
In his dark mind. From his inglorious
Dirtn
He swims in filth, an outcast of his race.
He hears no music in the voice of spring:
For him the summer days have come in
vain;
He feels no joy that homes sweet pleasures
bring,
For winter in his soul doth ever reign.
A scandal cormorant from lisping youth
A human vulture with foul putrid breath
A monster, dead to purity and truth,
He'll die as lie has lived, a coward's death.
Go! loathed abortion, hide thy venomed
head,
Nor dare to look upon the face OF man,
And know that none will weep when thou
art dead,
For thou hast cursed the world since
time began.
