TIse Pilgrims Rock.
By MRS. AMELIA h. wELBY.

When first the lonely May Flower threw
Her canvass 10 the breeze,
To bear afar her pilgrim crew,
Beyond the dark blue seas,
Proud Freedom to our land had flown,
Aud chose it for the brave;
Then formed the nations corner stone,
And set it by the wave.
That when the pilgrims anchored there,
Their stepping stone might be
That consecrated rock of prayer,
The bulwark Of the free
And there they stood-each pilgrim brow
Was wan with grief and care,
And bent each manly form but oh,
Another sight was there;
Fond woman with her sweet sad face,
All trembling, pale and chill;
Aud oh, there was in that lone place
A sight more touching still
The cheek of childhood pale with fear
And hushed it's voice Of glee;
Aud they are gone, but we are here,
~ huAwark for the free.
Our pilgrim sires are gone, yet still
A nation in its pride
Hath poured DER every vale and hill,
In a bright unbroken tide;
And still their sons shall flood the land,
While that old rock appears,
Like pilgrims spirit born to stand
The mighty wreck of years;
Aud oh while float the wind and wave,
That hallowed rock shall be
The threshold Of the good and brave,
The bulwark of the free.

When see the fine houses and exclusive

Selected poetrp.


TELL me not, in mournful numbers,
Life is but an empty dream
For the soul is dead that slumbers,
And things are not what they seem.
Life is real! Life is earnest
And the grave is not its goal;
Dust thou art, 10 dust returnest,
Was nos spoken of the soul
Not enjoyment, and not sorrow,
Is our destined end OF way;
But to act, that each tomorrow
Find us further than to-day.
Art is long, and time is feeting,
And our hearts. though stout and brave,
Still. like muffied drums, are beating
Funeral marches TO the grave.
In the worlds broad field of battle,
la the bivouac OF Life,
Be- not like dumb, driven cattle
BE hero in the strife
Trust no Future, howe'er pleasant
Let the dead Past bury its dead
Act-act in the living Present
Heart within and God o'erhead
Lives of great men all remind us
We can make our lives sublime,
And, departing, leave behind US
Footprints on the sands OF time
Footprints, that perhaps another,
Sailing DER lifc's solemn main,
A forlorn and shipwrecked brother,
Seeing, shall take heart again.
Let us, then, be up and doing,
With heart for any fate;
Still achieving, still pursuing,
Learn to labor and to wait.
