BLEST.

Hest be the tongue that speaks no Ill
Whose words are always true,
That keeps .the law of kindness still,
Whatever others do.
Blcst be the ears that will not hear
Dctrnction's enyious tale;
rTis only through the list'ning car
That falsehood can prevail.
Blest be the hear that knows no guile,
That feels no wish unkind,
Forgetting provocation, while
Good deeds are .kopt in mind.
Blest be the hands that toll TO aid
The great worlds ceaseless need
The hands that never are afraid
To do a kindly decd.
Blest be the thoughtful brain that schemes
A beautiful ideal;
Mankind grows great through noble dreams.
And time will make them real.
Do good in thought. Some future day
Twill ripen into speech;
And words are seeds that grow to deeds,
None know how far they reach.
Like thlstle-down upon the breeze,
Swift-scattered here and there;
So words Will travel far and these
a fruitful harvest bear.
Where goodness dwells in heart and mind
Both words and deeds will be
Like cords that closer draw mankind
In peace and charity.
