r,.r nrrprxe CHAIN.

THE nrNDrNG CHAIN. xsn have outsrown the worthless which sss bad. them deem 1t Gods good rh.t labor. sweat and starve to fii Ana riut the purse of idle greed. They have outgrown the poor content That breeds oppression. Forged os Mind links with mind in one great or protest ~ and of argument.
 And by the hand of progress hurled; This mignty chain of human ns6t snvusn'' Tn silence and in anguish wrought Encompasses the pulsing world. And he who win not form link
 Of new conditions soon to De-, ts Ere long must stand aghast to see Old systems tQppling down the brink. rbex cannot ana they shall not last.
 The broader impulse of the day
 Will gain and grow and sweep away The rank injustice of the past rhe purport of the hour is vast.
 The world needs justice. It demands United hearts. united hands The day of charity Is past.
 Let no man think he can despoil And rob his kind by tick and fraud And at the last make peace with God By tossing aims to honest toll More labor for the selfish few;
 More leisure for the burdened mass These things shall surely come ts AS old conditions change to new. s They change thro' strain and strike and The worst but speeds the final best. Work for all men--for all men rest, And time to taste the toys of lire.
 --Eila Wheeler Wilcox.
