O H, I hear the people calling through the day time and the night time— They are calling, they ere crying for the coming of the right time. It behoovea you, men end women. It behooves you to be heeding. For there lurks a note of menace un derneath their plaintive pleading. Let the land ueurpera listen, let the greedy-hearted ponder, On the meaning of the murmur, rising here and swelling yoiyler; Swelling louder, waxing stronger, like a atorm-fed stream that courses Through the valleys, down abysses, growing, gaining with new forces. Day by day the river widens, that great river of opinion, And Ita torrent beats and plunges at the base, of greed's dominion. Though you dam It by oppression and fling golden bridges o'er It, Yet the day and hour advances when In fright you flee before It. Yes, I hear the people railing, through the night time nnd the day time— Wretched tollers In life's Autumn, weary young ones In life's Slay time. They are crying, they are calling, for their sharo of work and pleasure. You are heaping high your coffers while you give them scanty measure; You have stolen God's wide acres. Just to glut your swollen purses— Oh, restore them to His children ere their pleading turns to curses. ^ •(VafWte. ELLA WHEELER WILCOX.
