FromSigns of the Times, Vol. 39, No. 23.

"God give us men! a time like this demands Strong minds, great hearts, true faith, and ready hands; Men whom the lust of lucre does not kill; Men whom the spoils of office can not buy; Men who possess opinions and a will; Men who have honor; men who will not lie; Men who can stand before a demagog, And damn his treacherous flatteries with- out winking; Tall men, sun-crowned, who live above the fog In public duty and in private thinking; For while the rabble with their thumb-worn creeds, Their large profession, and their little deeds, Mingle in selfish strife, lo! Freedom weeps, Wrong rules the land, and waiting Justice sleeps."
