WORDS AND DEEDS.

They do the least
Who talk the most:
Whose good designs
Are all their boast!
For words are dew.

They do the most
Whose lives possess
The sterling stamp
Of righteousness;
For deeds are true.

And if the heart
Be pure and good,
The life will be
Just what it should--
Not dew, but true.
