THE MARK or MANHOOD.

The mark of manhood? It is not the brand
Bestowed on f1atterers by monarch's
hand,
Nor is it beauty of mere face or form,
Nor power to breast the tournament or
storm,
Nor priceless gems with irridescent sparks.
Nor tinseled gilt, nor gold. nor dollar
marks.
It is not to have armies which obey,
though they must wade through blood to
win the fray;
Nor to have stately fleets from which may
flash
Wars vivid lightnings and it's lannon's
crash;
Nor parlor sraces of insipid speech,
Nor countless "isms" men believe or teach
The badge of manhood is to stand erect,
One of the Lords Amounted and elect,
Who worship by wise work and helpful
Not by lip-service voiced in man-made
creeds;
Who for the right can fight till life shall
cease,
But who live. love. and strive for kindly
They who have patient courage calm and
strong
To guard the right and to rebuke the
wrong:
Who walk the paths by Jesus meekly trod,
And make of money neither guide nor god !:
Clasp hands with poverty without disgrace,
Yet boldly curse the purse-proud to his
face.
Strong in persistence, labor, courage true,
Which turn not duty nor loves tasks
askeW:
But triumphing Ger fate and circumstance
See motives meath the man, with piercing
glance,
axyir ~
plan
Stands thus revealed each one perfect
The mark Of manhood is to know and see
What God desired a manly man should be,
Then fit that mold, from selfish purpose
free.

the mule was going to take them or not
until they got into the wagon. Then
Uncle Morg would take up the lines
and say:
Nov. then, Buster, what do you
think about it%
eff Buster picked up his ears and
started off that was as if he said he
thought it was all right. and he would
take Uncle Morg and Aunt Peggy
wherever they were going, and would
fetch them back home safe and sound.
But if Buster replied to Uncle Morg's
question by laying his ears back on his
shoulders and scowling, they knew that
the mule thought it wasn't all right,
and without another word Uncle MOfg
and Aunt Peggy would dismount, I'M
hitch the mule and turn him out and go
contentedly into the house to wait I'M
til some day when Buster was willing.
"'Make him go agin his will!' Uncle
Morg always exclaimed when asked
why he didn't force the mule. to 60.

When he folded his liberal ears back
and threatened rush upon any person
under his scrutiny, that person could do
no business nor have any social stand

remark of his two loyal subjects after
the mule had once given his opinion
and that in spite of several queer judg.
ments the arbitrary Buster had put on
record. There was the ease of the man
who drove up to the Binder place once
when the railroad was building. He
started for the house, but Buster
bloc]ked the way. Buster not only laid
back bis ears and threatened the mar
with his front, but turned about and
