THE MASTERS OF VICTORY.

Ever since right was, contest has been.
Heaven and He'll array themselves in con-
fct. The kingdom Of darkness on earth
wages war with the kingdom Of Light
Nation goes forth to battle with nation,
man strives with his brother rnan, and the
principles of truth and error everywhere
hold contention with each other. Thus
through the long vista of the past, have
these powers fought for tho nseondonry -
The monarch and the mcnial alike, goad
ed on by ambition, thirst for victory. But
brighter conqucsts than these invite TO toll
and conflict. Mind, everywhere, holds the
ascendency over matter, and in proportion
as its supremacy becomes moro clearly re-
cognized, does man haste TO step out, rs it
were, from the material, and deal with the
living essence Of existence. Man thirsts
for intellectual attainment; he would fain
study the teachings of wisdom, and CON-
prehend the science Of created existence
with all its various and unlimited bearings.
Not of earth, but of Heaven is this desire
to know, not Of man, but Of God. 1t is
the bursting forth of an inner Immortality.
Very beautiful was that garden, the early
Eden, which the Lord God planted, whose
crowning glory was the tree of knowledge.
Man gazcd thereon and reached forth that
he might pluck the ripe fruit; and, having
plucked, tasted and found that il was good.
It's branches yet wave above us laden with
their rich clusters. Men gaze now, rs then,
and assay To grasp tho good-but not here,
moro than elsewhere, have all the foes been
vanquishcd. Sluggishncss Of spirit, and
the infirmities of the feb, have sworn
hostility to the accomplishment Of this
end. They, only, know triumph, who, not
withstanding the power Of opposing forces.
enter into open and perpetual combat with
the enemy, disarming and laying low his
champions as they advance through his
ranks. "Tbe nerve that never rclaxcs, the
eye that never blanchcs, the thought that
never wanders-these arc the masters Of
victory" and he who would stretch out
his puny arm TO gather the golden sheaves
from the field of science, must first bear
the heat and burden Of the day. He who
would gain the ascent of that eminence,
from whose top towers the celestial growth,
must take foothold upon the craggy
sleeps. He who would compass the ocean
Of truth, must leave the pebbly shore, tho
the favorable gale that shall watt him TO
the desired haven comes not. The cost is
to be counted, and, having been couHted,-
10 he met. Self is TO be sacrificed,
strong energy. concentrated, and hearty,
unwavcring purpose enlisted in the warfare.
Dreams bring not the realization Of fond
hopes. Cravings for good we would call
ours, give not the assurance that it will be,
and desire is not always the harbinger Of
fruition. Halfheartedness is the prelude
to failure, bat warmth Of soul.interest is
followed close behind by success. Ambi-
tion Is the impetus, stesdfastness the means,
and victory the end.

MEMORIES:

Strange memories are thronging my brain
tonight. Bright and mournful remem-
brances of long ago, come over me as l
sit by my window and gaze out on this
calm, moonlit scene. ,-tr. s
The night breeze, as it sways the Elm
tree branches, makes sad yet Pleasant
melody, which harmonizes strangely with
the feelings of my heart. :,
The moonbcams, as they glance upon
the water, form shining train--fit path
way for the angel band 70 descend in
their mission to tho earth. Methinks they
would pause in their downward journey,
and, folding their snowy pinions, gaze en-
tranced upon the scene below, thinking
that God had created another Eden, for
truly like Paradise seemeth the earth to-
night. ' I
In the far off distance catch the sound
Of music, and know that she whose fin,
gers touch the keys has a mind attuned to
the grand, deep toned melodies she is call.
ing forth. But it reminds NE of harp,
which, in other days, made to my ears
even swceter music, for the hands that
swept tho strings were those of a much
loved one. -.
Often have l sat, at the twilight hour,
beneath the threshold tree, and listened to-
the plaintive ballads she sang and played;
and my mind has wandered off into an
ideal world and reveled in the bright fan
cies called up. by my schoolmate's harp.
Alas that harp lies silent and ,tuneless r
now, for tho hands that swept tho chords
have been folded upon calm, pulseless bo-
som and laid to rest in the graves cold EN-.
brace. ~
Yes! in a churchyard far away, now
lies that schoolmates form; no marble ta-'
blet or sculptured headstone marks the;
spot Of her rcpcse; but in an unornamented'
grave sleeps she who was but lately all light
and life and icy--the gifted and the en-
wed one. Oh Death! thou art a stern and
cruel tyrant, ever chilling our brightest and
faircst flowers for thy vast conservatory be
yond the tomb.
Many Of our band hast thou taken, and
still thy ravagcs 60 on. Remorscless
Death! And yet to some thou comest as
an angel Of mercy, and thy shadow is az:
pleasingly welcome as the soft shadowing
Of an angel Of light, for thoa bendest low!
over the couch Of pain and whispercst that
thou art sent, from the great Fountain Of
God, TO unloose the chains that bind the
fettercd spirit down to Garth, and bid it
soar, on united pinons, to realm Of eter-
nal bliss; TO forget the throbbing head, the
aching heart, and the days and nights Of
toll; to follow thee into the broad, celestial
field, whore it can revel in the refulgept
light that shineth forever from the throne
Of God. Such was the message 10 our
friend. Yet thou leavest us weeping, and
we can but call thee cruel

MEMORY.

Oft, when sleep Is DER rue stealing
Ms at night HE to rest,
Something comes fond words revealing
Once to me by one addressed;
Telling " hen ;twns,
Telling what twas,
Thus to me was once addressed.
As listen in the silence
Softly hearing what IL says,
Oft 1t takes unbidden license
Telling tales of other days,
Telling when twas,
Telling what twas
That was done IN other days.
Oft 1t tells Of yonder bower,
Now neglected and forgot,
Where we fingered ma an hour
When grim death had severed not.
Telling when twas.
Telling what twas
That grim death had severed not.
on u tells of one now sleeping
Meath the sods of wonder hill.
Pointing 10 the loved ones weeping
BY the dust so cold and still:
Telling when twas,
Telling what twas
There did lie so cold nd still.
Oft IL speaks Of that kind hearted
Loving circle. gay and bright,
Pointing to the hoDr we parted
And they faded from my sight;
Telling when twas.
Telling whut twas
That did tear them from my sight.
OFT It speaks Of kind words spoken
BY the lips once smiling there,
Pointing to the hearts now broken
BY the darts Of fell despair;
Telling when twas,
Telling what twas
That consigned them TO despair.
Thus II speaks of oil things mortal,
Telling what hath been before,
Pointing TO the shady portal
OF tho misty realms Of yore,
Telling when twas,
Telling what twas
That hath been in days Of yore.
