THE arEBTIKO OF THE C.nEAV
-Twas cno straws hour, still un
explained by man,- ,
(Sucla, hours have been but fen1)
When, unannounced, and n a tonio
ly sriot.
Met Fesrtune's children true. '
Arcund tMat spot, scarce heard Uie
woodman's axe,
Tull treow swayed to and fro;
Hird by, ariion the rocks, a bub.
ling spring;
Whose votpa was sweet and low.
I .
At Fortune's call hfs children fath
ered routed;
First clear-eyed Oenuls camo:
Then. Bontle. 'jiieok and hilld, the

At Fortiino's speech dread Rilence
relaiicd strprcmo.
nowctl low In thought, each
head,
When, unobserved, commanding'
Gnrti'ls rose.
And tohis brothers said:
"Jn thnt (rrent Hour when questions
hard t sorvfl
Will try Clio Kreatest brain.
I vow- to do' my part. I shun be
there. ,
From duly not refrain.
When dentils censrd, Simplicity
arose:
"In that same Oiotir when men
Krniti every walk of life, both lilBh.
and low, '"
From hillside, vnto and Blcn,
Respond to Freedom's call, .and,
form In lino, ' ' '"
Truth; foe to put to f MrM.' ;
I vow iny presence then. Wllih
common, men .''.;'. ,'
I'll stand for God and rlKht.
Then up and slronir, stalwart In
dustry, ' '
In accents filled wHh power:
"In that samo awful time, when
morning's dawn, 'y
And noontide's bluing honrj
And even In g'H twilight, closing soft
the day,' - ' r '
And midnight's gentle stroke,,
Demand unceasing toll, I shall ho
there.
Till clears the battle smoke."
Firm Purpose, then, with well-set
jaw, thus spoke.
In no uncertain sound:
"In those same troublous times,
when minds and lioarts
Of men turn round and round,
And tossed, like ships, on waves
of ocean high, I,
Ami great reverses come,
I swear my presence I shall grant,
and vow
My lips shall not be dumb."
Deep sllenco then - ensued. F.aeh
breathless flat
In meditation deep.
It broke when hind-faced Sym
pathy aroso
And sobbed: "I can but weep.
As looking do"ivn tho years. I hear
the groans
Of wounded, dying men:
Of broken hearts and home. Com
rades. I vow,
I'll not forsako you then."
-i '
Then Honor, open-faced, looked In
the eyes
Of nil there gathered round.
Ills heart was stirred. In acconts
clear ho said:
"Midst cannon's awful sound.
When brother to his brother
proves untrue.
And friend proves false to
friend,
My help I pledge you on my sim
ple word:
The truth I shall defend."
Another dreaful poise. Then, last
of all,
Calm! Patience slowly rose.
And every eye on him was firmly
fixed.
"What will he say to close?"
"True comrades, all", he said, with
steady voice,
"That dread hour, grim with
hate,
Amidst war's ebb and flow, I'll bo
on deck
The mighty ship of state."
A moment's pause. Then all as
one arose.
And Fortune bade them greet
Bneh other. 'And as they noiseless
moved,
In holy concord sweet.
Sir Fortune waved his wand. As
fades the day
They faded with a bow.
And lo!- one form appeared. And
Fortune wrote,
"A. Lincoln" on his brow.
