Polite Literature in all its branches is rep

A GRAND OLD POEM.
Who shalljndge a man from manners?
Who shall know him by his dress?
Paupers may be fit for princes,
Princes fit for nothing less.
Crumpled shirt and dirty jacket,
May beclotiie the golden ore
Of the deepest thought and feeling—
Satin vestments could do no more.
There are springs of crystal nectar
Ever welling out of stones,
There are purple buds and golden,
liidd m, crushed and overgrown :
God who counts by souls, not dresses,
Loves and prospers you and me,
While he values thrones the highest
But as pebbles in the sea.
Man upraised above his fellows,
Oft forgets his fellows then;
Masters, rulers, lords remember
That your meanest hinds are men—
Men by labor, men by feeling,
Men by thought aud men by fame,
Claiming equal rights to sunshine
In a man's ennobling name.
There are foam-embroidered oceans,
There are little weed clad rills;
There are feebie inch high saplings,
There are cedars on the hills.
God, who counts by souls, not stations.
Loves and prospers you aud me;
For to him all vain distinctions
Are as pebbles m the sea.
Toiling hands alone are builders
Of a nation’s wealth and fame .
Titled laziness is pensioned,
Fed aud fattened on the same ;
By the sweat of other’s foreheads,
Living only to rejoice,
While the poor man’s outraged freedom
Vainly lifted up his voice.
Truth and justice are eternal,
Born with loveliness and light,
Secret wrongs shall never prosper
While there is a sunny light,
God, whose world-heard voice is singing
"“Boundless love to you and inc,
Sinks oppression with its titles,
As the pebbles in the sea.
NO TIME^TO PRAY.
No time to pray !
O, who so frought with earthly care
As not. to give to humble prayer
Some part of day !
No time to pray !
What heart so clean, so pure within,
That needeth not some check to sin—
Needs not to pray?
No time to pray !
’Mid each day’s danger, what retreat
More needful than the mercy seat ?
Who must not pray?
No time to pray !
Must care or business’ urgent call
So press us as to take it all,
Each passing day ?
No time to pray!
Then sure your record falleth short ;
Excuse .will fail you as resort
Ou reckoning day.
What thought more drear
Than that our God his face should hide,
And say through ali life’s swelling tide,
No time to hear!
Cease not to pray;
On Jesus as your all rely,
Would you live happy—happy die,
Take time to pray !
He then said, ‘’Once 1 owned this

how she begged me he lore she died,-

shamefully have I abused you! b

He had become so occupied with
his thoughts, and spoke in a tone so

was he that Daniel Aiken would come

it, for the purpose of keeping it for

He answered, “ I do.”
“ Thee has promised a great many

“ .God*grant it may be so. Daniel,

a while longer, and left. As the cool
air of the evening tell upon him, he
all at once began to give ulterence to
his feelings in ihe following strain :
“ Not a drop more, Daniel. Am I
drunk, or am I sober? Not a drop
more, Daniel. Did Haskins think a
drop more would hurt me? No ! hut
my money is gone. He has got every
thing l had. He has got the Bible mv
mother gave me. He has got the shoes
which my wife bought for Jennie,
and paid for with her own earnings.—
Not a drop more, Daniel. Daniel,
what say you to that ? I say so, too.
I had once good clothes, and now 1
have nothing but rags. Not a drop
more, Daniel, till I have others as good
as when Mary and I were married. I
once had a good watch, but that, too,
is gone. Not a drop more, Daniel, till
l have another as good as the one 1
pawned to Haskins tor drink. 1 have
seen the time when I had a good horse
and buggy, and could ride into the vil
lage in as good style as any man in the
place. Not a drop more7 Daniel, till I
own another horse and buggy as good
asineonel once had. 1 once had
cows that furnished my family with
hutter and cheese, but Haskins has got
them. Not a drop more, Daniel, till
those cows or others a3 good as those
are mine again. I once had this w r al-
let Lull of bills, but now there is not a
cent. Not a drop more, Daniel, till
tins wallet is well filled again.”
By this time he had reached the
place w here he formerly resided, aud
he stood and leaned against the fence,
and mused lor a long time in silence.
He viewed the desolaieness o{ the
scene ,bv the light of the moon, and his
eye.ranged over the house and barn,

The benevolent Quaker was confi
dent that Daniel Aiken would keep his
resolve.
At length, when everything was in
readiness, the old horse was harnessed
and Daniel Aiken was on his way to
the railway station. He had not been
in the village since the words, ‘‘.Not a
drop more, Daniel,” were uttered.
He was missed from his customary
haunts, hut it was supposed he had
gone off On a spree, and so nothing was
thought ot his absentee. His wife’s fa

some thought he had gone there
No inquiries were made, tor all were

not for his return.
He had been gone somewhat more
than a year when the Quaker was in ihe
store of Haskins,.and remarked that he
wished to hire a pasture for lh“ com

“Where is it?” said the Quaker.
“On tiie Aiken farm.”
“ If thee will let it at that rale, fhee
must have let it get out of repair.”
“ It is so, indeed; 1 cannot leave

They rode over and were surprised
to see the change? which Bad taken

The Quaker said, “It is 1 friend, Ma
