i Backs Bone,
When you soe a fellow mortal
Withont fixed and fearless views,
_ Hanging on the skirts of others,
~ Walking in their onst-off shoes,
Bowing low to wealth or favor,
With abject, uncovered head,
Ready to retract or waver,
Willing to be drove or led ;
Walk, yourself, with firmer bearing,
Throw your moral shoulders back,
Bhow your spine has nerve and marrow.
Just the things which his must lack.
A stronger word
Was never heard
In sense or tone,
Than this: Back-bone.
When you see a theologian
+ Hugging close some ugly creed,
clerkship, or a place in some tamaily,
and-—and there was Will Broomley !
That may seem like going away from |
the point, but it was not. It was matter
of-fact, but sonld see well enough what
was going on right under my eyes, and
I had a pratty clear idea of what was |
bringing Will to the house =o often as |
he had taken to coming lately. There |
was a “situation,” then, that would give
me the home-life I liked best, and felt |
myself best suited for; but—-would it
answer in other respects? 1 overcast
the long scam 1 was sewing twice over,
I was so busy trying to make up my |
mind whether I liked Will Broomley
well enough to pass my whole life with
him; and even then 1 had not come to
any decision when [was called down
stairs to Letty Walters,
Tearing to reject or question
Dogmas which his priest may read,
Holding back all noble feeling,
Choking down each manly view,
Caring more for forms and symbols
Than to know the good and true ;
Walk, yourself, with firmor bearing,
Throw your moral shoulders back,
Show your spine has perve and marrow
Just the things which his must lack
A stronger wond
Was never hoard
In sense or tong,
Than this : Back-bone,
When you see a politician
Crawling through contracted holes,
for some fat position,
In thering or at the polls,
With no sterling manhood in him,
Nothing stable, broad or sound,
Destitute of pluck or ballast,
Double-sided, all sronnd ;
Wilk, yourself, with firmer bearing,
Throw your moral shoulders back,
Show your spine has pluck and marrow -
Just the things which his must lack.
A stronger wond
Was never heard
In sense or tone,
Than this: Back-bona
A modest song, and plainly told
The text is worth a mine of gold ;
For many men most sadly lack
A noble stiffness in the back.

a twinkle in his eye.
After that mother’s belief in Letty's

samo unsatisfactory result,

The same evening—it was rather

that thunderbolt of his at vs—mother

“ When are you going to introduce
