Mr., Van Buren, believed that Congress pos.

Congress should not interfere with the ins,itu-

TODAY AND TOMORROW.

Don't tell me Of tomorrow;
Give me the man who ii say,
That, when good deeds to be done,
Lets do the deed to day"
We may al, command the present,
five act and never wait,
But repentance is the phantom
Ola past that comes too late.
Don't tell me Of 10 morrow;
There is much to do to-day,
That can never be accomplished,
If we throw the hours away
Every moment has its duty
Who the future can ioretell2
Then, why put Cil till tomorrow,
What to-day can do SO well2
Don't tell me Of tomorrow;
five look upon the past,
How much that we have left to do,
We cannot do at last!
To-day!--It is the only time
For all on this frail earth;
1t takes an age to form life,
A moment gives it birth.
