For the National Era.
NOW.
BY JAMES LEUMBARD.

III. r,alm of the Past belongs wholly to God,
And vain is the call for It's long-vanished hours
The land of the Future no footstcp hath trOd,
And Fancy alone may 60 thither for flowers
The Present is all that we rightfully own
The only bright, tangible portion Of time
wherein we may tarry, and build us a throne,
And bend to our purpose its treasures sublime
Pale cypress crowned Memory presides DER the PAST
She strolls through its corridors, dusty with age;
Her eyes on its dim, fading records are cast,
And while she is reading her tears blot the page
But Action stern Action, the Present controls;
She grspples it, measures it, fills it at wiF--
Nerlecting no labor that duty unfods,
And deeming no duty too small to fulfill
Then, let us be deing, while yet il is noon,
For the sun loiters not in his midday career;
Let u. prove that we know how to value the boom
By using ii well the brief time it is here.
No matter how humble his station may be,
There is labor enough for each one to perform;
With Faith, Hope, and Love-the inviuciblc Three
He can work out his mission in sunshine and storm
Not n breeze wandcrs by but is freighted with signs
Wrung out from the banned and the barred of thu
race;
Shall listen with cold uneoncern TO their cries,
And say there are wrongs that we cannot efsceF
No; let us be out in Humanitys field,
Uprooting the wrongs that are going to seed
While yet we have hearts hands, and voices to WELD
Giving home to thought but that shall succeed
We cannot divine where an action may stop
In its influence on the far ages TO be;
The waves, set in motion at first by drop,
May expand till, Mt length they encircle the sea-
A kind word may cheer the most desolate heart;
smile nerve anew the disconsolate soul;
They do not cost much. but the good they impart
Shall only be read on Eternity's scroll
10 day set about the great work to be done;
To linger or doubt is no trivial sin.
The harvest is plenteous, and ripe in the sun,
Awaiting the reapers to gather it in.
And he who returns when his labor is done,
Bearing sheaves for the garner of virtue and peace
Shall receive the glad palm all the valiant have won
Whose brilliance the Future shall ever increase.

AMERICAN REFORMED TRACT AND BOOK
SOCIETY.

We see, by notice in the Christian Press,
that the directors of this institution are en-
gagged in stereotyping and publishing reforms-
tory tracts. They can print 1900 pages for
So. They solicit funds to enable them to per-
form the great work in which they are en-
gagged. They earnestly urge that some friend
in every neighborhood collect all he can, as
donations to the Society, and forward to T. B.
Mason, Treasurer, at tho Depository, 1870 Wal
nut street, Cincinnati. This will save much OF
the expense of sending out agents The friends
Of righteousness and humanity are most ear
nestly entreated to give prompt attention to
this matter.
A depository for supplying Sabbath schools
and the United States with an evangelical and
anti-slayery literature is now opened let the
funds be furnished, and the truth shall be car
ried to every mans door.
