Truo Heroism.
Let others wri to of battles fought
On bloody, ghasttjr fields,
Where honor greets the man who win,
And death tho man who yields,
But I wilt wrlto of him who fights
And vanquishes lit a slni.
Who struggles on through wenry years
Against himselfand wins.
Ito Ii a hero staunch and bravo
Who fight an unseen foe,
And puts at lint beneath his feet
Ills passions base and low;
Who stands erect iu manhood's might,
Undaunted, undismayed
The bravest mnn who drew a sword
Iu foray or la raid,
It calls for something more than brawn
Or muscle to o'ercome
An enemy who inarcheth not
With banner, plume and drum
A foo Torever lurking nigh,
With silent, stealthy tread.
Forever near your board by day,
At night beside your bed,
Alt honor then, to that brave heart,
Though poor or rich he be,
Who struggles with his b.iser part
Who conquors and Is free.
Ho may not wear a hero's crown,
Or flli n hero's grave,
But truth will place his name among
Tho bravest of the brave.
Prayers I Don't Like
I do not like to hear him pray
Who loans at twenty-flvo per cent.
For then I think tho borrower may
Bo pressed to pay for food or rent,
And in that book wo nil should heed,
Which says tho lender shall be blest,
As sure as I have eyes to read
It does not say "lake interest."
I do not llko to hear him pray
On bended knees about an hour,
For grace to spend aright tho day,
Who knows his neighbor has no flour.
I'd rather see him go to mitt
And buy tho luckless brother bread,
And see his children eat their fill,
And laugh beneath their humble Bhed.
I do not like to hear him pray,
" Let blessings on the widow bo,"
Who never seeks her home to say,
"If want overtakes you, come to mo."
I hnto tho prayer, so loud and long,
Thaf s offered for the orphan's weal,
By him who sees Ulm crushed by wrong,
And only with the Bps doth feel.
I do not like to hear her pray.
With jeweled ear and Hllken dress,
Whose washerwoman tolls all day
And then Is asked to "work for less,"
Sueh pious shavers I despise;
Withloided hutuls(and ince demuro,
They lift to heaven their "augel ejes,"
rmi )." to oarninp of tho poor.
I do not like such soulless prayers;
It wimig, I hope to be forgiven ;
No angel wintf tuetn upward bears
They're lost a million miles from heaven.

gained since the adoption of tho Julian
Calendar about 1020 or 1023 years before.
