to the Scholars, commenced " Liie IS before ye!
and on this sentiment as text, she wrote the foi
lowing lines. The spirits somewhat too sombre,
but the moral nooly redeems it.

Eager to spring upon the promised land,
Fair smiles the way where yet your feet have trod
Bur few light steps upon nowety sod
Round We are Youths green bowers, and to your

Daring and Principle, Pleasure. Fame and joy,
Friendship unwavering, Love without alloy,
Brave thought. Of noble deeds, and glory won,
Like angels beckon We to venture on;
And If DER the bright scene some shadows rise,
Far off they secm--at hand the sunshine lies;
The distant clouds, which OF sc pause to fearl
May not a brightness gid therl when more near =?
Dismay or doubt yc know not, for the power
OF Youth is strong within ye, at this hour;
And The great m ortal warfare seems to ye,
