a health I ask you drink with me to-da,
To one not often met along the way
The surging masses tread
a way that rings with tramp of busy feet
OF men who with their fellow men com.
pete
For gold, Or place, or bread.
I ask that here's bumper large we take
70 him aolio Asaosoledge loues foasits oa0al
sake,
Fen as his life as well;
Who eonnts not learning as his stock in
trade.
On which 50 much in dollars may be
made,
TO barter or to sell.
A love like this the Hebrew prophets
ii felt,
When, moved with awe devout, they
knelt;
Beneath the Eastern stars
a love ike this the men of Athens
knew,
When Paul stood forth q man qf might,
and trne,
Upon the Hill Of Mars.
A love like this the sages gave9of old
To all the secrets earth or heaven told,
And called them words from God
A love like this the seer of Concord
For Truth, for Wisdom and for all
around
Aplanet or a elod.
A love like this some here to-day have
known,
And with the years that sacred love has
grown,
Though Wisdom farther seems.
Than when in years agone in this same
They thought that she had kindly told
them all
Her secrets and her dreams.
A love like this makes gallant hearts
and brave ~
For did not Crito's friend go to the grave
! For Truth and Wisdom s sake?
A love like this is pure as woman's love
And fills the sutton heart with Joy above
The powerIof earth TO take.
He knows his mistress never hath be-
trayed
Inc loyal heaIt upon her altar lad
Who'er the sutton be;
The gods Of fame and fortune tickle prove
But nothing can her constancy remove
Through all eternity.
He loves her not with selfish love and
Batr1n sn rel 1ll divine and face

Are fairef than the dazzling brow 81 fame,
And for her smiles he'd gladly yield his

On all the world besides.
The fevered world runs on with bated
breath II
To conquest, or to glory, orsto death,
Forgetting him whose praise
/ sing-the searcher aftertruer things -; 80
And though r1y song goes but on Grip
pied WiIiaS,
This note for him raise. y
