When united make a mighty band;

The Crank petendHd,.

WHAT would we do were il not for
the .eranks? How slowly the tired
old world would move, did not the
cranks keep it rushing along? Colum-
bus was {; crank on the subject of
American discovery and circumnavi-
cation, and at last he met the fare OF
most cranks, was thrown into: prison,
and died in poverty and disgrace.
Greatly venerated now! Oh, yes, Tele-
machus, we usually esteem a crank
most profoundly after we starve him
to death. Harvey was a crank on the
subject Of the circulation of blood;
Galiileo was an astronomical crank:
Fulton was crank on the subject of
steam navigation; Morse was q. tele-
graph crank. All the old abolitionists
were cranks; the Pilgrim Fathers were
cranEs; John Bunyan was a crank:
and any man who doesn't think as you
do, my son, is a crank.
And, by the by, the crank YOU despise
will have his name in every mans
mouth, and a half completed monu-
ment TO his memory crumblink down
in dozen cities, while nobody outside
of your native village will know
that you ever lived. Deal gently with
the crank, my boy. OF course some
cranks are crankier than others, but
do you be very slow to sneer IS a man
because he knows ouly one thing and
yop can t understand him. 4 crank,
Telemachus, is a thing that turns
something, it makes the wheels go
around, 1t insures progress. True, it
turns one wheel all the time, and it
can't do anything else, but that's what
keeps the ship going ahead. The thing
that goes in for variety, versatility,
that changes its position 2 hundred
times day, that IS no crank; that is
the weather-vane, my son. May be you
couldn't be a crank if you would.
Heaven is not very particular when it
wants q weather-vane, almost any man
will do for that. But when it wants
crank. my boy, it looks yeGy careful
" for the best man IN the, community.
Before you thank heaven tlGt you are
meta crank, examine yourself carefully
end see what is the great deficiency
shat debars you from such al election.
