Live N Down.

BY THE REV. EDWARD o. FIAGG, ID. D., OF GRA
CHURCH, NEW YORK.
Has foolish word been spoken,
Or an evil deed been done;
Has the heart been almost broken
For the friends that now disownF
Let not GOODNESS or the frOwn
Shake thy manhood-liye 1t down.
Is the stern traducer sneering
Trusting innuendO vile;
With the worlds opinion veering,
Basking i'm its tickle smilel
What are gossips with their frown?
BuzZing insects-liye il down.
Verdict fairer will be given
In the sober after-thought;
Charity, sweet child of heaven,
Judgment harsh will set at naught,
Then will grieved mercy's frown
Smite the sland 'rer-live it down.
But if man refuse to soften
For that weakness he may feel,
There is One forgives as often
AS TO Him we choose to kneel.
DroOp not then if all should frown;
With such friendship-live it down.
