ALTEKED FROM DCOANNK. cSi v^S'HE water bath fish and tho land hath flesh, tAuil tbe air hath many a bird ; And the soil is teeming u'ur tho earth, And fruits grow fuir in many lauds, Yet iiiillinnti uf hands want acru-B, And millions of acres want hands. Sunlight and breeze and gladeorae flowers Are o'er the earth spread wide, AJid Nature gave these gilts to men. To utl who on earth abide. The fioil lies fallow, the woods grow rank, Yt;t idle tbe poor man stands. Ah, niilliims of hands want acres, And mtllione of acres want hands.

And millions of acres want handa. â Who hath ordained that the few should hoard Their millions of useless gold, Aud rob the earth of its fruits and flowers, "While proHtless soil tht y hold?

And 'twill burn and blight till the people rise And swear, while they burst their bauds, That hands heucefurth shall have the acres. And the acres henceforth have hands. To a Young Man Leaving Home.

There's danger wherever you go ; But if yovi are tempted iu weakness, Have courage, my boy, to say " No I" The siren's sweet song may allure
