STRIKE on How much like a rock
in the ocean, against which the waves
have beat for centuries, is the man of
sterling worth and robust integrity To
the waves of unholy passion--to unsanc-
tilted popular applause, he says, Strike
on, shall not be harmed. The seduc-
tive influence of vice is all around him,
but he is unmoved. Wealth is at hi,
command if he will but swerve from the
path of duty. No-you can as soon re
move the rock in the sea.
When the great and good AIgernon Sid
ney was about to be executed, he calmly
laid his head upon the block. lie was
asked by the executioner if be should
rise a-an. Not till the general resur-
reclion-strike on" was the remarkable
reply of Sidney.
When unholy power would remove
you on account of your virtue, say calm
ly, strike on but do not yield TO sin. Bt-
firm in your principles, even though death
should stare you in the face. Strike on
be this your motto, whenever asSailed BY
wealth or power, and glorious will be your
iriumph-if not in this world, in that to

Whether it gild old manors, dimly seen
Among their green, empowering shrouds,
Or make the distant fog a bank of fires
Or shoot through azure skies its thousand spires
Mid archipelagos OF clouds.
Oh view the sky, A hundred clouds adrift,
Heaped by the wnd grotesquely group and shift
Their nameiess form upon its plain;
Beneath their edge, the pald lightnings flare,
AS II, in haste, some giant of the air
Unsheathed and sheathed his sword again.
Athwart their shadows still the sunlight streams
And makes the straw-thatched cottage with its
beams,
Burn like a regal palace bright;
With mist disputes the vague horizons view,
And, falling upon hazy meadows dim,
Lies shining in broad pools of light.
Sometimes I seem to see, suspended black
And huge, crocodile with ridgy back,
And triple rows of sharpcned teeth.
Along his leaden breast the sunbeams glidei
A thousand crimson eIoudlets fake his side,
Or CLEAN ike FURNISHED scales beneath.
Anon palace forms; then shakes the air,
And, quick as thought, the cloudy structure fair
Topples in shattered ruin down;
Far DER the sky, its yernal turrets, spread
With downward pointing spires, hang overhead
Like mountain pinuacles o'erthrown.
