Hold your tmgue or speak the truth, Busy hosts of age and youth ! Honor climbs by slow degree Up the slope of infamy ; Character is hard to grow, What you say may lay it low ; Then be careful, age and youth, Hold your tongue or speak the truth. Speak the truth or hold your tongue ; Many bosoms have been wrung, Many souls have suffered long, Many hearts have gathered wrong, From a whisper that defames Purest lives and noblest names ; Gossip should be gibbet-hung— Speak the truth or hold your tongue. Hold your tongue or speak the truth ; Falsehood always is uncouth ; Scandal in this mortal race Is the mother of disgrace ; Slander, with her grimy hands Touches now too many lands ; Lies are born of minds uncouth, Hold your tongue or speak the truth. Speak the truth or hold your tongue, Huts or palaces amoDg ; Weak is reputation all, Little causes make it fall ; Fame to fail is easy made, Till its grandeur is betrayed ; Calumnies are devil flung— Speak the truth or hold your tongue. Hold your tongue or speak the truth ; That is virtue’s heart, in soot'i; Men are demons, ill of name, When they tear each other's fame ; They are angels fair to view When their words are always true ; Then, ye hoste of age and youth, Hold your tongue or speak the truth. 1 NO. 38 .. ciated by those who do not even stand formally identified with us as a rel igious people.
