HEED THY FOOTSTEPS.

BY LoTTIE LlNWOoD.
Heed thy feet oh, wearied wanderer,
Travelling down life's cllangeful vale!
Giro with strength thy trembling footsteps,
Lest at last thy courage fail;
Even now perhaps they falter,
On the brink OF deaths cold wave.
And the bright and hoped.for morrow,
Brings thee but ncw.madc grave.
Youthful dreamer, years are gathering
Ger thy hearts glad sunlight now,
And carth's cares will soon be tracing
Lines across thy placid brow!
Hast tl.ou strength for cartlIS temptations
Will they bnd thy split fasi9
Or will Hope and Faith eternal,
Lead t!ee safe TO rest at last.
