News from that Town.
LET SOMETHING GOOD BE SAID.
When over the fair fame of friend or foe
The shadow of disgrace shall fall instead
OF words of blame, or proof of thus and so,
Let something good be said.
Forget not that no fellow being yet
May fall so low but love may lift his head !;
Even the cheek of shame with tears is wet,
If something good be said.
No generous heart may vainly turn aside
In ways of sympathy; no soul so dead
But may awaken strong and glorif1ed,
If something good be said.
And so I charge you, by the thorny crown,
And by the cross on which the Savior bled
And by your own souls hope of fair reknown
Let something good be said
