NOTES.--Charles II. was king of England from A.D. 1660 to
1685. William Penn (b. 1644, d. 1718) was a noted Englishman
who belonged to the sect of Friends. He came to America in 1682,
and founded the province which is now the state of Pennsylvania.
He purchased the lands from the Indians, who were so impressed
with the justice and good will of Penn and his associates, that the
Quaker dress often served as a sure protection when other settlers
were trembling for their lives.



XXIV. WHAT I LIVE FOR.

1. I live for those who love me,
Whose hearts are kind and true;
For the heaven that smiles above me,
And awaits my spirit, too;
For all human ties that bind me,
For the task my God assigned me,
For the bright hopes left behind me,
And the good that I can do.
