FEELING.
Sweet sensibility! thou keen delight!
Unprompted moral! sudden sense of right!
_Sensibility_. H. MORE.
Feeling is deep and still; and the word that floats on the surface
Is as the tossing buoy, that betrays where the anchor is hidden.

'Twere vain to tell thee all I feel,
Or say for thee I'd die.

And inasmuch as feeling, the East's gift,
Is quick and transient,--comes, and lo! is gone,
While Northern thought is slow and durable.

Great thoughts, great feelings came to them,
Like instincts, unawares.

FIDELITY.
True as the needle to the pole,
Or as the dial to the sun.
_Song_. B. BOOTH.
But faithfulness can feed on suffering,
And knows no disappointment.

To God, thy countrie, and thy friend be true.
_Rules and Lessons_. H. VAUGHAN.
Statesman, yet friend to truth! of soul sincere,
In action faithful, and in honor clear;
Who broke no promise, served no private end,
Who gained no title, and who lost no friend.
