MIND STRUCTURES.
BY DUNCAN n. SMITH

Although we cannot lay a brick
Or juggle with a maui.
Still palaces we may construct
Or prisons grim and tall
And make our residence therein
Unfettered or confined
According as we mold and form
These buildings OF the mind.
High in the regions of the air
Are sple.sdld corner lots,
With splendid prospects all around.
And other building spots,
Though on them castles we construct
Or palaces of nirin.
We have to stay below and live
In those we build on earth.
Stone walls do rot a prison make.
Said one who knew a lot,
And iron bars are not a cage
If we Insist they're not.
And. on the other calloused hand.
a mansion grad may lie
A prison unto one within
Unless the mind is free
The home Is what we make the same.
Though hun lie. poor and low
Or hifsh and gilded TO the dome
And up in Naughty row,
In village or metropolis.
In mansion Or in Tat.
We rake or mar ii in our mind.
Did you ever think of that?

there have been some interments,
