CHOICE SELECTIONS.

No. 15.

WHO ARE THE FREE.-JOHN C. PRINCE.

Who are the Free?

They who have scorned the tyrant and his rod,
And bowed in worship unto none but God;
They who have made the conqueror's glory dim,
Unchained in soul, though manacled in limb,
Unwarped by prejudice, unawed by wrong,
Friends to the weak, and fearless of the strong;
They who could change not with the changing hour,
The self-same men in peril and in power;
True to the law of right, as warmly prone
To grant another's as maintain their own;
Foes of oppression, wheresoe'er it be ;-

These are the proudly free!

Who are the Great?

They who have boldly ventured to explore
Unsounded seas, and lands unknown before;
Soared on the wings of science, wide and far,
Measured the sun, and weighed each distant star;
Pierced the dark depths of ocean and of earth,
And brought uncounted wonders into birth;
Repelled the pestilence, restrained the storm,
And given new beauty to the human form;
Waken'd the voice of reason and unfurled
The page of truthful knowledge to the world:
They who have toiled and studied for mankind,
Aroused the slumbering virtues of the mind;
Taught us a thousand blessings to create ;-
These are the nobly great!

QQQQ*

7

Who are the Wise?

They who have governed with a self control,
Each wild and baneful passion of the soul;
Curbed the strong impulse of all fierce desires,
But kept alive affection's purer fires:

They who have passed the labyrinth of life,
Without one hour of weakness or of strife;
Prepared each change of fortune to endure,-
Humble though rich, and dignified though poor,
Skilled in the latent movements of the heart,
Learned in the love which nature can impart,→
Teaching that sweet philosophy aloud,
Which sees the "silver lining" of the cloud,
Looking for good in all beneath the skies;-

These are the truly wise!

Who are the Blest?

They who have kept their sympathies awake,
And scattered joy for more than custom's sake;
Steadfast and tender in the hour of need,

Gentle in thought, benevolent in deed;

Whose looks have power to make dissension cease,
Whose smiles are pleasant and whose words are peace;
They who have lived as harmless as the dove,
Teachers of truth and ministers of love;-
Love for all moral power, all mental grace—
Love for the humblest of the human race-
Love for that tranquil joy that virtue brings-
Love for the giver of all goodly things;
True followers of that soul-exalting plan
Which Christ laid down to bless and govern man;
They who can calmly linger to the last,
Survey the future and recall the past,

And with that hope which triumphs over pain,—
Full well assured they have not lived in vain-
Then wait in peace their hour of final rest;-
These are the only blest!

ADVICE TO THE YOUNG.

My son, be this thy simple plan:
Serve God, and love thy brother man;
Forget not, in temptation's hour,
That sin lends sorrow double power;
Count life a stage upon thy way,

And follow conscience, come what may;
Alike with earth and heaven sincere,
With hand and brow and bosom clear,
"Fear God, and know no other fear."
