We like your shining face 1t does us good
To see It BEAM It makes our lazy blood
Move faster and quickcned hearts expand:
And when you hold us by your mighty hand.
Some doubtful things better understood.
How is It. Robert? We who strive with you
Some noble work for God and man to do
We argue and fret ourselves TO prove
The Perfect Life, the All-embracing Love.
But you just feel and know these things true.
What Is the secret? II you can. impart
Your CHEEKY gospel OF the trusting heart.
But. II It's not transferable. why. then.

Glad that YOU somehow. know the blessed art.

Anear each other. You to both have gone
And drunk your I'll and then have led us on
To where they CLEAN and ripple in the sun.
You are so human: here's the central fact
or which your life and speech all compact:
All things that touch the simple common heart
These have you chosen--these the better part!
You are human; feeling, thought and act.
And yet the other things you know well
And love almost much. the wonGrous spell
That Nature wcavcg In ~rasses trees and flowers;

To sing with music and to laugh with praise

WILLIAM II. SEWARD.

He first began to take an active in
terest In politics in 1924, identifying
himself with the anti Masonic party,
and was elected as its candidate for
the State Senate in 1880. In 1843
Mr.. Seward retired to private life
and employed the next few years in
literary work. He was chosen United
States Senator in 1s49, and in that
body exercised a strong and widely
felt influence. Mr.. Seward was
q candidate for the Presiden-
tial nomination by the Republican
party in 1860, and on the first ballot
received many more votes than did
Lincoln. Lincoln, upon his election,
appointed Mr.. Seward Secretary OF
State. In 1865 Mr.. Seward was
thrown from his carriage and his arm
was broken. While confined to his
bed President Lincoln was assassin
ated, April IA, and one Of the con-
spirators gaining access to Mr..
Stewards house attempted to kill him.
The Secretary was severely injured,
as was his son, Frederick, and his re-
covery was slow and painful. Mr..
Seward retired from Office in 1859
and returned to Auburn. The re-
mainder Of his life was devoted to
travel, to literary work and to the de-
livery Of speeches. He died Oct. 10,
1872,
