THE GREAT CRY.

The place where the great city stands is not the
place OF stretched wharves, docks. manu-

Nor the place OF ceaseless saiutes Of new corners,

the earth,
Nor the place Of the best libraries and schools,
nor the place where money Is pientiest,
Nor the place Of the most numerous population
Where the city stands with the brawniest breed
Of orators and bards;
Where the city stands that Is beloved by these,
and loves them I'm return, and understands
them; ~ fs-s
Where no monuments exist to heroes but In tho
common words and deeds:
Where thrift Is In its place. and produce is In It's
) Where the men and women think lightly Of the
laws;
Where the slave ceases. and the master of slaves
b ceases; fft s}5
Where the populace rise at once against the never
ending audacity OF elected persons;
Where fierce men and women pour forth, as the
sea to the whistle of death pours its sweep
= ing and unripped waves
Where the city OF the faithfulest friends stands;
Where The city OF the cleanliest Of the sexes

Where the city of the healthiest fathers stands;
Where the city of the best bodied mothers stands
There the great city stands
