POEMS WORTH KNOWING
THE ORIGIN OF MAN.

Affection day, she harked to the
OF the stormy and treacherous billow.
Drew a beautiful form on the sands OF the shore
With the stem of a weeping willow;
Jupiter struck with the noble plan.
As he roamed on the verge of the ocean,
Breathed the figure, and. calling it Man,
Endowed it with life and emotion.
A creature so glorious in mind and frame
So stamped with each parent impression,
Among them the cause of contention became,
Each claiming the right of possession;
HE is mine' said Affection. Il gave him his BIRTH

IT gave him. said Jove. animation"
The GODS all assembled in solemn divan,
After hearing each claimants petition,
Pronounced then, definite sentence on Man
Which settled his future condition
Let Affection possess her own child till the woes
OF life to harass and goad it.
After death give the body to Earth whence 1t rose
And the spirit to him who bestowed it"
