Sturdy saint-militant, stout, genial soul,
Through good and ill report you've reached
the goal
Gf all brave effort, and attained that light
Which makes our clearest noontide seem as
night.
How much 'twill show us all! "We boast our
clarity
Of spiritual sense, but mutual charity
Is still our nearest need when faith grows fierce
And even hope earth's mists can hardly pierce.
You were much loved; you spake a potent
word [heard
In the world's ear, and listening thousands
With joy that clear and confident appeal.
The lingering doubts finer-strung spirits feel,
The sensitive shrinkings from familiar touch
Of the high mysteries, moved you not. Of
such
The great throng-stirrers! And you stirred
the throng [strong;
Who felt you honest and who knew you
Racy of homely earth, yet spirit-fired
With all their higher moods felt, loved, de-
Puritan, yet of no ascetic strain [sired.
Or arid straitness, freshening as the rain
And healthy as the clod; a native force
Incult yet quickening, cleaving its straight
course [end.
Unchecked, unchastened, conquering to the
Crudeness may chill, and confidence offend,
But manhood, mother wit, and selfless zeal,
' LOOK HERE, UPON THIS PICTURE AND ON THIS!'
(The Raymarket Hamlet as he is and ought to be.)

Not, as his wont, in tones pacific,
But in the very strongest way,
And using language quite terrific.
He hopes to see me in my place,
xlnd woe betide the sad seceder,
Whose absence helps to throw disgrace
Both on his Party and his Leader.
I throw my hat up to the sky.
At taunts of treason or defection
