WHO ARE THE FREE? 



BV JOHN CRITCHLEY PRISCE. 



We copy, says a late English paper, ihe following verses 

 from " The Chaplel, a Poelical Offering ' 

 Bazaar," iManchester. The piece is a worthy gift to the 

 cause of popular education, t.y (wc l.clieve) an operative : 



Who are the Free? 

 They who have scorned the tyrant and his rod, 

 And bow'd in worship unto noi.e Ijut Gu.l ; 

 They who have made the couquetoi's glory dim — 

 Unchain'd in soul, thnngh inanacled in limb— 

 Unwarp'd hy prejudice— unawcd liy wrong, 

 Friends lo '.lie weak, and learless of-ihe strong ; 

 They who could change not with the changing hour. 

 The selfsame men in peril and in power; 

 True lo the law of right, as warmly prono 

 To grant another's as maintain their own ; 

 Foes of oppression, whereso'er it he— 



These are the proudly free ! 



Who arc the Great 1 

 They who have boldly ventured to explore 

 Unsounded seas, and lands unltiioivn before— 

 Soar'd on the wings of science, wide and far. 

 Measured the sun, and weigh'd each distant star- 

 Pierced the dark depths of ocean and of earth, 

 And brought uncounted wonders into birth- 

 Repell'd the pestilence, resirain'd the storm. 

 And given new beauty to the human form— 

 Wakcn'd the voice ol reason, and unfurled 

 The page of truthful knowledge to the world : 

 They who have toii;d and studied for mankind — 

 Aroused the slumbering virtues of the mind- 

 Taught us a thousand blessings to create : 



These are the nobly great! 



Who are the Wise ? 

 They who have govern'd with a self-control 

 Each wild and baneful passion of the soul- 

 Curb'd the strong impulse of all fierce desires, 

 But kept alive affection's purer fires : 

 They who have passed the labyrinth of life , 

 Without one hour of weakness or of strife ; 

 Prepared each change of fortune to endure ; 

 Humble tho' rich, and dignified tho' poor— 

 Skill'd in the l.itenl movements of the heart — 

 Learn'd in the lore which nature can imparl— 

 Teaching thai sweet philosuphy aloud, 

 Which sees the " silver lining" of the cloud. 

 Looking for good in all beneath the skies: 



These are the truly wise I 



Who are the blest? 

 They who have kepi their sympathies awake, 

 And scattered joy for more than custom's sake ; 

 Sleadlast and tender in the hour of need, 

 Gentle in thought— benevolent in deed ; 

 Whose looks have power to make dissension cease— 

 Whose smiles are pleasant, and whose words are peace ; 

 They who have lived as harmless as the dove, 

 Teachers of truth and ministers of love ; 

 Love for all moral power— all mental grace — 

 Love for the humblest of the human race- 

 Love for that tranquil joy that virtue brings — 

 Love for the Giver of all goodly things ; 

 True lollowcrs of that soul exalting plan, 

 Which Christ laid down lo bless and govern man. 

 They who can calmly linger at the last, 

 Survey the future, ami recall the pasl ; 

 And wiih that hope which triumphs over pain. 

 Feel well assured they have not lived in vain ; 

 Then wait in peace their hour of final rest; 



These are the only lilesl ! 



From the New York Tribune. 



THE DUTY TO L.\BOR. 

 "The world owes iiic a ijood liviii;:, ami I'll 

 have it," e.iys some blncklee as lie finishes a luxii- 

 for the Lveeum.s riotis repast ;" here, kiidlord, another b"»le of

 fops, who sit pazinp on him by stealth, in silent 

 admiration, hail the sentiment with a shout of rap-

The consequence of this is the pilfering of money 

 drawers, the ignominious loss of employment, gen- 

 teel loaferism, and so on, until one of these enter- 

 prising gentlemen, in eager pursuit of the good liv- 



mould board has been very much increased, so thai th 

 Plough works with the greatest ease, both with respect I 

 the holding and the team. The Committee at the late trii 

 of Ploughs at Wori-ester, say.

the duty resting on every man to be active and 

 useful in his day and in his sphere. All are not 

 called to dig or hew, or plow or plane — but every 

 man has a sphere of usefulness allotteil him by Pro- 

 vidence, and ho is unfaithful to his high trust if he 

 deserts it for idle pomp or heedless luxury. One 

 man may be fitted by nature and inclination for an 

 artisan, another for a sailor, and a third for a mer- 

 chant ; hut no man was ever born fitted only to be 

 an idler and a drone. 



" But has not a rich man a rtghl to enjoy his 

 wealth ?" Most certainly : we would be the last 

 to deprive him of it. He has a natural and legal 

 right lo possess and enjoy it in any manner not in- 

 jurious to others ; but he lias no moral right to be 

 useless because he has superior means of being 

 useful. Let iiiiii possess in abundance the means 

 of satisfying every pure and just desire of his na- 

 ture, and bcci'ine wiser, nobler, larger in soul than 

 his less fortunate neighbor ; but never let him for- 

 get, as, if properly trained, he never can, that it is 

 his solemn duty to be useful to his fellow crea- 

 tures, especially to the depressed and si. fleering — 

 to labor for their benefit, and suffer, if need be, for 

 their elevation. 



The world soon learns to respect its benefac- 

 tors in whatever sphere, and to realize that he who 

 truly and honestly exerts himself in some depart- 

 ment of useful effort, may justly claim a brother- 

 hood with all who toil, and make, and earn. Let 

 the rich cease to look down on the poor — the mer- 

 chant on the porter; let each respect the dignity 

 of man, wliolher in his own perscui or that of liis 

 less forlunale brother; let haughtiness and pride 

 cense on one side, and envy, jealousy, and hatred, 

 with their train of direful consequences, will vanish 

 from the other, and all, animated by a common 

 kindness, will move forward in concord to the at- 

 tainment of the highe-l good.
