••What doest thou, O gbost," the younger said,
'•Where, to and fro, I hear thy solemnt read?" •
"I am on duty, Brother t O'er these earth-bound
heights
I still walk sentinel above a people's rights."
•'Forthatthou wertunfleshed!"the new ghostcrisd,
••But I ? I know not why I should have died;
Wide stretched my harvest field; my arm was
strong;
I battled for the right, and fell by wrong."
The tall form pointed earthward: "See, a world in
prayer;
Hearts bowed, and eyes turned heavenward, every
where.
Ah, blessed ghost! Ah, thou too, slain by man!
A hallowed instrument for some wise plan—
O'er burning ploughshares both our feet haae trod;
•* I for my brother died, but thou art called of God."
