Past and Future.

Eternal is the power serene
That brings the Spring 10 all,
Bsl brief the space that lies between
The ripeness and ths fall.
The earth, IN shadow aud in glow,
Around The sun is relied,
And tightly come and lightly go.
The years iha. make as old.
Oh, Auiumn night, rePesiug now,
Like bird with folded wing;
AS old men think of youth, so thou
Recsll'st Tue vanished Spring.
The loved one dies. the love remains
As, when The East is grey,
The lull'd and dreaming Wes, remains
Ils memory of the day.
Across The air the hasly brooks
Seem babbling OF the past,
Saying, Glow tender sweet tho looks
That are not made TO last !"
The mild breath of the waning year
Comes up from holt and lea,

The Unseen Battle Field.


There is an unseen battle field
IN every human breast.
Where TWO opposing forces meet,
And where they seldom rest.
Ths, field is lid from mortal sight,
It's only sem by one,
Who knows alee where victory lies
When each dy's fight is done
One army closies strong and fierce,
Their chief of 9mon form;
His brow is like ID thunder cloud,
HIS voice the bu, ,ing storm.
His captains, PRIDE and Lust. and Hate.
Whose troops wash night and day,
Swift TO de.ecl The wake-i point,
And thirsiing for th Tray.
Conisndine with his fghiy force
Is bot lille band
Yet there with an uRqraing trout,
Those warriors 6fmlysand.
Their leader is of God liz form,
On coon;enance serene
Aud glowing on his nakeSrsast
A simple cross is seen.
His captains, Faith, and Hos and Love,
Point 10 that wondrous siA
And gazing on it,alI receive
Slreuglh from source diviI.
They feel il speaks glorious ,ih,
A ruth as great as sure,
That TO be victofs they must les
To love, colfine, endure.
That faith sublime. in widest o,
Imparts holy calm
For ererY deadly blow shield,
For every wound balm.
And when they win that 5aiiis.6e
Past toll is quite fergot;
