HISTORY'S HOUSE-CLEANING.
Wljen pigeon holes are cleaned some day
What wondrous things will come to view!
What fears the contents will allay While hopes forgotten dawn anew! Beneath the dust of decades spread What mighty documents we'll find! What weighty arguments vinread! What vast reforms to bless mankind!
Dark secrets then will stand revealed While fair impressions fade and die; Grim mysteries will be unsealed At last before the public eye. . Perchance some names scarce noted now
Will then be welcomed and revered In faith, 'twill be a jolty row When all the pigeon holes art cleared.
