Ancestral Voices.
BY ALICE CARY.

Time, the relentlesS, onward sweeps,
And lo the fair. the good, the brave,
Pass where eternal Silence keeps
The awful gateway of the grave.
And fresh, young hosts, whose bosoms swell
With eager longing for the strife,
Press to the places where they fell,
And MI the wasted ranks of life.
we IN those places stand to-day
snail we not use our noblest powers,
In guarding well and faithfully
The post Of duty that is ours
So shall we hand our fathers fame
Untarnished to posterity,
Nor shame the dead, who bore our name.
In the still places where they lie.
And if we 5nd, where now afar
Our ranks ancestral dimly move,
That any man was brave in war,
Or any woman true in love;
Then surely we, remembering these,
Can live as NOBLE lives as they,
With light Of added centuries
Poured unobstructed on our way.
Yet mast we strive as they did then,
Nor falter when the task is great;
The truest women, bravest men,
Must pray and hope, ami work and wait.
For sonls can reach no lofty flight
By halting faith and weak desire;
The path is steep tina; gains the height,
The crown OF martyrdom is fire.
