They say that slavery's n 0 more rife, But dead to Time with years gone past; Yet lives it not again .in strife— The strife of man and man to last? ginee first this earth bore eons, 'tis true "The glory of young men is strength," But strength to act, and strength to do, For works to life add joy and length. Let Nature then with good abound From highest hill to deepest glen; And let* the joyous world With "Peace on Earth, GooawiJ to mcn 1 ." —Olanthos.
