KicKERs.

We confess to liking for a good,
healthy Kicker He is own cousin
to the crank II things do not go
to suit him, he makes his opinions
known. and endeavors to set the
world moving aloag in the right di-
rection. He is not content to sit
down and let athe other fellow take
all the good things Of this life, and
deprive him of his share. True, he
may sometimes go too far, aud kick
just for the sake of kicking; then he
becomes nuisance. We can for
give him for that, however, when we
consider the good he does. If his
party dominates an unfit man for a
public office, like a good American
citizen he kicks over the traces, and
endeavors to elect the better man.
II the authorities of his town or city
disregard the common veal for the
sake of pelf, he kicks until he brings
to bear the weight of public opinion
upon the offenders. If a majority OF
his community succeed in securing
the enactment ofan unjust or oppres-
sive law, he chivalrously kicks until
he secures its modification or repeal.
He is usually engaged in war with
oppression and wrong doing, and
has no milk and water sentiment TO
impel him to keep silent while wrong
prevails. He knows his rights" sand
knowing them, dares maintain them"
Though kicking continually against
what he considers unjust, unwise or
impolitic, and in most cases against
injustice. wrong and abuse suffered
by others rather than himself, he is
usually downright good fellow,
anxious only to do right and to in
duce others to do likewise.--Rrinter

THY WILDE DONE.

Not in dumb resignation
We lift our hands on high;
Not like the seryeless fatalist
Content to trust and die.
Our faith springs like the eagle
Who scars TO meet the sun,
And cries exulting unto Thee,
o Lord, Thy will be done.
When tyraht feet are trampling
Upon the common veal,
Thou dost not bid us bend and writhe
Beneath the iron heel.
In thy name we assert our right
By sword or tongue or pen,
And even the headsman's axe may flash
Thy message unto men.
Thy will 1t bids the weak be strong;
1t bids the strong be just;
No lip to fawn, no hand to beg,
No brow to seek the dust.
Wherever man oppr esses man
Beneath Thy liberal sun,
o Lord, be there Thine arm made bare,
Thy righteous will be done
