Hotter to stem with heart and hand The roaring tide of life, than lie Unmindful on its flowing strand Of God’s occasions drifting by. Hotter with naked nerve to l»*ar The noodles of this goading air, Than in the lap of sensual ease forego The godliko power to do, the godlike aim to know. —Whittier. Alas ! but few there be that know’t How grave a thing it is to vote ! For most men’s votes are given, I hear, Either for rhetoric or beer. —Le Gallinine.
