48 Unnoticed Heroes. Woods have their blossoms which we ne’er behold, And skies their worlds whose light is never shown, Ocean its treasuries of untold gold, And earth her heroes that .are all unknown. You meet them as you pass, and heed them not; You may nut know what hosts before them fell; You may not count the battles they have fought— The wreaths that crown thorn are invisible. Yet they have fought and conquered; they have bent Night after night beside the couch of pain, They have confronted scorn and death, and lent Their blood to make the stricken whole again. They have been pilgrims to that desert shrine Which Sorrow in the black realm, Despair ; Oft have they struggled in that gloomy mine Where only dust is made the toiler’s share. They Have beheld their sweetest hopes decay; Oft they have seen their brightest dreams depart; Have seen their golden idols turned to clay, And many bear within a broken heart. Their veiled and mighty scars they ever bear— Those scars that lie deep-burned into the soul, Won where the flaming eyes of vengeance glare, And the tumultuous fires of passion roll. They have been victors! they have conquered fields Earth’s dreaded Hannibals could never win; They have struck down the sword Ambition wields, And trampled Lust, and chained the hands of Sin They have won captives l their sweet tones have The erring back to Virtue’s flowery path ; [brought Their own and other’s hearts submission taught To God’s high will, and smoothed the brow of wrath. They drink the dregs of trembling; but their moans And anguished wails they stifle in they breast; They say there is an Ear that hears their groans, And in llis house the weary will find rest. Want, grief, the scorn of men, on them descend—■ They only say it is llis righteous will; With chastened spirits to that will they bend, Believing, striving, hoping, loving still. 0, there are daily martyrdoms that we Heed not —the sufferers are to us unknown, But angels, from the walls of Eden, see How glorious are the laurels they have won. All Attainments Vain Without Love. Should bounteous nature kindly pour Her richest gift on me, Still, 0 my God ! I should be poor, If void of love to thee. Not Lining wit, nor manly sense, Could make me truly good ; Nor zeal itself could recompense The want of love to God. Did I possess the gift of tongues, But were denied thy grace; My loudest words—my loftiest ■oujs, Would be but sounding brass. SOUTHERN BAPTIST MESSENGER- Though thou shottldst give me heavenly skill Each mystery to explain: If I’d no heart to do thy will, My knowledge should be vain. Had I so strong a faith, my God I As mountains to remove ; No faith could do me real good, That did not work by love. What though, to gratify my pride, And make my heaven secure All my possessions I divide Among the hungry poor; What though my body I consign To the devouring flame, In hope the glorious deed will shine In rolls of endless fame! These splendid acts of vanity, Though all the world applaud, If destitute of charity, Can never please my God. Oh, grant me, then, this one request, And I’ll be satisfied, — That love divine may rule my breast, And all my actions guide.
