AUTUMN OF LIFE.

Before my door, 20 summers heat,
Proudly the elms their branches spread;
Cool verdure sprang beneath my feet,
And shadows played around my head;
Joyfully passed the sultry hour,
And Knocked the suns meridian power
But when, with whitening hand, the frost
Shriveled the leaves, and gaunt and bare,
Their naked arms the elm trees tossed,
While Autumn tempests rent the air,
] mourned the Summers glories fed,
And copious tears Of sadness shed.
When Winter came, and cold and still,
The ice-king forged his frozen chain,
And over snow-olad vale and hill
Midnight assumed her solemn reigni
Forth looking from my window bars,
Through the stripped limbs saw the stars
Thus earthly loves, like summer leaves,
GLADDEN. but intercept our view;
But when bereft the spirit grieyes,
And hopes are crushed and comforts few.
10 in the depths Of sorrows night
Beams forth from far celestial light.

BE A WOMAN.

OF I've heard gentle mother,
As the twilight hours began,
Pleading with a son on duty,
Urging him TO be a man;
But unto her blue-eyed daughter,
Though with loves words quite as ready
Points She out the other duty
"Striye, my dear, and be lady"
Mother, then unto your daughter
Speak Of something higher, far,
Than to be mere fashions lady
WOMAN Is the brighter star.
II ye, in your strong affection,
Urge your son to be a true man,
Urge your daughter no less strongly
To arise and be woman.
Be a wOman-0n to duty,
Raise the world from all that's low,
Place high in a social haven
Virtues fair and radient bow
Lend thy influence to each effort
That shall raise our nature human;
Be not fashions gilded lady
Be brave, whole-souled, true woman.

THE EMPIRE OF GOD.

Now, my friends, ! must close this
long course of lectures. We have pass
ed from planet TO planet, from sun to
sun, from system to system. We have
reached beyond the limits of this mighty
stellar cluster with which we are allied.
We have found other island universes
sweeping through space. The great IN
finished problem still remains-Whence
came this universe? Have all ti.ose
stars which glitter in the heavens been
shining from all eternity? Has our globe
been rolling around the sun for countless
ages? Whence, whence this magnificent
architecture, whose architrayes rise in
splendor before US in every direction ?
is it all the work of chance? / answer
Not Is not the work OF chance. Who
shall reveal to Us the true cosmogony o.
