PATH. HOPE, AND LOVE

There are three lessons would write
Three words--as with burning pen,
/ In tracings of'eternal light.
Upon the hearts Of men
Haze Faith! where'efthy bark is driven
The calm's disport, the tempert's mirth--
KNOW this. God rules the host of Heaven,
The Inhabitants Of earth.
Have Hopei Though clouds environ now,
Aud gladness hides her face with scorn,
SPut thou the shadows from thy brow
No night but bath its morn s
Hape Lovei Not love alone for one,
But man as much thy brother call,
And scatter like the circling san,
Thy charities on all.
Thus grave these lessons on thy soul
Faith, Hope, and LoVe--and thou shaltfin'

Light, when thou else vert blind.

in the twenty-fith, twenty-sixth, and
twenty-seventh Congresses. His en-
inent talents We're Immediately recog-

placed in u prominent position on the

almost all the Wing nominees. not
