A VALEDICT'ORY.

A VALEDICTORY.
Tho term has closed, we now must part
Mus: sever ties that bind the heatt--
Must pat, perhaps, to meet no more,
Upon life's rugged, barren shore.
Improve your undo rstandings we'll,
While on this earthly ball you dwell:
If ignorant, you scarce can be
Respected in society. 60
l1ior high stations yousis inclined,
Fin Ny resolved must be your mind
Press onward, and you soon will rise
To honor, where you II take the prize.
Your parents row expect that you
Will honest live, be just and true;
And that, in their Iec..nlng years,
You II aid them, IN tEis a'e ct tears.
Repay their kindness, while you 'ceSs
And in the pasas of virtue stay; 49, ---er.,.
Filial affection. may it be
Mingled with blameless charity.
Good characters are what we need;
Good characters require much heed.
Be honest, upright, true, and just,
Then all will love and none distrust.
Good company you e'er should keep;
Good names are what you all should seek;
Be meek, benevolent, and kind,
And then you III have tranquil mind.
Inebr'ates shun, o fee the bowl!
The poisoned cup! the palsied soul
Nor ever be enticed away,
To cloud the morn of youths fair day.
Now, youthful friends, o serve the Lord
o! seek him early! search his word
Engage in prayer! nor ever rest.
Till with religion you are blest.
Now youthful friends, u long farewell!
Together we no more can dwell;
To US the parting scene is given;
Let us prepare to meet in heaven.
