Who shall judge a mau from Manners
Who shag know him by his dress ?
paupers may be fit for princes,
Princes fit for som-thing leis ;
Cromp,od shirt and iliny jacket
;lay becloihelhe golden ore
Of the deepest thoughts and feelings—
Satin vests cad do no more.
There are springs of crystal nectar -
Ever welling out of stone ;
There are purple buds and golden, -
Man, crashed and over-grown;
God, who counts by souls, not dresses.
Lrrrs and prospers you and me„
While he values thrones, the highest,
Bat as pebbles in the sea.
Man, Demised above Ma fellows,
Oft forgets his fellow then;
M as ters—Were—lords — remember
That your meatiest hands are men!
Men by labor, men by fe..ling,
Men by thought and men by fame,
Claiming•equal rights to sunshine
In a man's ennobled name.
There are foam embroidered oceans
There are little weed-clad rills,
There are little inch high saplinga,
There are cedars on the hills.
Bat God, who counts by souls, not station?,
Loves and prospers you and me.
For to him .11 rain distinctions
Are as pebbles is the sea.
Toiling bends alone are builders
Of a nation's wealth and fame ;
Urd laziness is p•nsioned,
Fed and fattened on•the same.
By the isreat of other's forhe ads,
Lirinz only to ei-jome,
Ithar the poor IM/ll ' 3 outraged freedom
Tunly lifteth np its voice.
Dot truth and justice ere eternal,
Bora with loveliness anti light,
And suaset's wrongs shall never prosper,
While there is a sunny right ;
And God, whose world-heard voice is singing
Boundless love to you and me, -
Will sink oppression with its titles,
As the pebbles in the sea.

A Tear:
A g ‘ labule clear, a pearly drop,
'4e fall soul oft reveals,
Nyben phstening in the weeping eye,
'Jr down the cheek it steals.
When gushing forth for other's woes,
No language ere expressed
The beauties of that limpid tear, .
Which will not be repressed.
And while in silence it descends
Adown the dimpled cheek,
The staled blquigs it portrays,
Are more than tongue can speak
Wall the , MRS that deck the erocrni,
Of monarchs or of kings,
Tfitrf's none con vie with that pare drop
When horn snob fount it finings.
Bow often, as again we m=et
With thoft we hold snow deer
By nature's ti.i ut fri ,, ndeltip bouni f
Will start affection's tint.
When parting hands arc firmly prnsatf,.
And fare ay!! sighs are heaved.
There's Volume, in that falling tear,.
Its lengtrage can't decide.
'Remembered tears! how ofd they cheer
The weary wand'rer's way,
And nerve the fainting a - arrives cam,
For battle's corning day.
When home and friends we're left afar,
Alone life's path to tread,
flow sweet to think, sometimes for as
The crystal drop is shed.
When grief the aching heart o'erevheTme
For loved ones, cold and dead,
Row longs that crushed nod bleeding heart
Relieving tears to shed.
"yn
raidria heaven we shall not weep,
Bat every tear be dry,
It cannot mean affccticnia tear,
'Twoold grieve an angeni eve.

Of course he - did not find the hudividuid he
sought, at Nu—South Wharves. He 'was
the victim, and this man an accomplice.
Two, days afterwards, the Post Master of

" Alia ? So the drop game bus have been

'Drop game . ? What - do you mean?' re

that he had proved himself so sharp at a bar
