WHAT'S HUMAN PRIDE ?
Written for the Democratic Advocate,
BY cHAS 7. WRIGHT.

What's human pride?
Is it TO hold the head up high?
To meet with fearless gaze the earth and sky
To stand an image ofthe God
Who fashioned beauty from formless clod
To rise above the low-born thought
To seorn to sell the soul that Christ has bought?
To stand aloof from vulgar haunts
Where scofIerS revel. and their ribald tauniS
Make darkness blush, and virtue weep,
For shame so lost and manhood sunk 50 deep:
What's human pride
Guides it the hand that reaches low
To lift the blackened soul from pits of woe,
Yet with a stern, high born dsdain.
Contemns the filth that gave the wretch his stain
Is he too proud
Whose cold lips curl with Scorn
Whene'er he sees the breath envy form,
Or who with naughty anger filings
The serpent SANDER down before it stings2
All these are pride,
But of that lofty, Godlike kind
That finds its birthplace in the noble mind.
Tis human pride
To turn with lofty mcn the head
For fear a kindly greeting may be said:
To draw aside the silken train
That poverty in passing give no STAIN
To measure men, not for their worth,
But for their dollars or their lofty birth.
'Tis human pride
To ride in splendor DER earth's sod,
And let no look or thought go up to God;
To make a deity OF pelf
Nor love nor worship aught hut this and self.
All this is pride
But ofthat foolish, earthly kind,
That finds its welcome in the vacant mind.

Lewis o. Meyls, John II. Wisner and Lavinia
B. Wisner, VS.. Martha E. Sharrer and
William John Meyls.
The petition and caveat of Lewis o. Meyls,
John II. Wisner and Lavinia B. Wisner seeks
to prevent the admission to probate of GER
tain paper writing purporting to be the last
will and testament of J. Adam Meyls, late of
Carroll county, in the State Of Maryland,
deceased, on the ground that the same was
not executed with the forms and solemnities
required by law; that said J. Adam Meyls was
not, at the time Of executing said paper
writing, Of sound and disposing mind, and
capable of executing valid deed or contract;
and further, that he, the said Adam, was
subjected to such degree of Importantly and
undue influence as deprived him of his free
agency, and which he was too weak to resist,
and that said paper writing was not his free
and unrestrained act; that the same was pro-
cured to be executed by the importantly and
undue influence of Martha Elizabeth Sharrer
and OF other persons; that said paper writing
contains errors of facts in stating that Lewis
o. Meyls and William John Meyls had re-
ceived their respective shares of said dece
dents estate prior to the execution of said
paper writing; and the petitioners pray that
said paper writing may not be admitted to
probate as and for the last will and testament
Of said j. Adam Meyls; and that the same
may be rejected; and that citations issue to
the said Martha f. Sharrer and William John
Meyls requiring them and each of them to
appear and answer said petition and caveat,
and also praying for an order of publication
against the said William John Meyls, who is
a nonresident Of the State of Maryland.
1t is thereupon ordered by the Orphans
Court of Carroll county, this 18th day of
March, A. D. 1891, that the petitioners and

and caveat, to be inserted in some newspaper

When it comes to seeking and

pitiable condition, but a reflection
that In a national and municipal
affairs, all the moral, financial, and
intellectual strength of the race is
to be found only in such men as;
