POETRY.
TWO POEMS.
By ROBERT NICOLL:
This youth, who died at the age of 23, in the north of England, was a great man, not a great writer merely. Honorable age is not that which stabdeth in length of time, nor that is measured by number of years. But Wisdom is the gray hair unto men, and an unspotted life is old age. These two poems are commended to the habitually frivolous, if any such ever take up the Liberator. They, too, have hearts, hands and voices for some service of God and humanity, in which Robert Nicoll died.—M. W. C.
