TRUTH.

BY D. HARDY, JR.

AS stands the old oak when the tempest is raging,

While others less firm are upturned by the blast,

So Truth, though with Error a warfare is waging,

Is firm and unyielding, triumphant at last.

She stands as unmoved as the bold promontory,

Tow'ring so proud by the waves of the sea;

Her heart-gushing song and her soul-cheering story
