MARY T. MORSE.
Philadelphia. August 2. 1021
IIETTER THAN HOLD
Petter than grandeur, better than gold,
Than rank and titles a thousandfold,
Is a healthy tody and mind at ease.
And simple pleasures that always please:
A heart that can feel for unothcr's woe,
With sympathies large, enourh tn enfold
All men as brotheru, Is better than nold.
Iletter than gold Is a ccnscienco clear.
1 hough tolling for bread In a humble
sphere;
I Doubly blessed with content nnd health,
Cntrled by the lusts and cares of wealth;
Iowly living and lofty thought
I Adorn and ennoble a poor man's rot:
For mind nnd morals, In nature's plan
Are tho genulno tests of n gentleman.
Iletter than sold Is swtet repose
Of the sons of toll, when the labors close.
Better than sxold Is the poor man's sleep.
And the balm that drops on his slumbors
deep
Ilrlngs sleeping draughts tn the downy bod,
When luxury pillows Its aching head
The toller's simple oplato dreams.
Hotter than gold Is a thinking mind
That In the realm of liooks ran find
A treasure surpassing Australian ore.
And llveth the great and good of yore,
Tho sage's lore and the 'poet's lay:
The glories of empires passed away.
The world's great dream will Ihus unfold
And yield a pleasure better than gold,
Retter than gold Is a peaceful home.
Where all the flretlde characters come
The shrine of love, the heaven of life.
Hallowed by mother, or sister, or wife.
However humble tho home mty be.
Or tried with sorrow by-heaven's decree,
The blessings that never were bought or sold.
And center there, nre better than gold.
