A SONG OF LIFE.
by Israel Zangwill.

Praised be the lips Of the Morn
For their musical message OF Light,
For their brd-ehanted burden Of song,
Praised be the young Earth reborn
For its freshness and glory and might,
And the thoughts of high, solemn delight
That at flash Of it, purity throng.
Praised be the lips Of the Day
For their clarion call to the field
Where the battle of life must be fought,
Praised be the fire of the fray,
Where the soul is refined and aunealed,
And the spirit heroic revealed,
And pure gold from base substances wrought,
Praised be the lips of the Night
For their murmurous message Of Rest,
For their lullaby, motberly sweet.
Praised be the dreams of delight,
While tired life is asleep in Love nest
And in harmony tender and blest
Heavens calm and earth's loneliness meet.
From Blind Children" book of poems by
Israel Zangwl.

From one branch of this cult has come the modern litera- ture of exposure" They show us our social sore spots, like the three cheer full friends of Job. They expose in countless pages of magazines and new papers the sordid and depressing rot tenness of our politics; the hopeness apathy of our good citizens; the re- norseless corruption of our great finan fciers and business men, who are brib- ing our Legislatures, swindling the public with fraudulent stock schemes, adulterating our food, speculating with trust funds, combining in great monopolies to suppress and destroy small competitors and raise prices,
