Poetry.
1--WE Spend our Years as Tale that is told"
Ps. XC., 8.

"Etrll onward" is the song the universe
Has sung for ages; and is now again
The watcbword, sternly sounding on the ear
1 trim my midnight lamp and keep h'y "a'ou
As doth the sentry at his lonely post,
Not willing for the dear old year to die.
G with sadness hear now his wasting breath
As fainter fainter beats his pulse, until
The final throb is DER; look about
Me. gazing for the loved and lost, until
Another form comes rudely up and takes
The stand just vacant; shrinking back turn
As if to fly the stranger who is now
Confronting me. 4.r7r
year of change, OF victories fraught with o.
The destiny of nations, now has bid
Adieu to earth and hurried TO the past.
The wheel Of stern necessity has turned,
And drawn the car of stern results, beyond
The limits -four narrow KEN On Him
Who governs all our petty plans, controls
AT will the weak designs Of mortal man,
Let all the praise, the honor be bestowed.
From out the great procession marching on
To gain the threshold of eternity, ..
Has dropped multitude, which now
Has Joined the solemn company within
The silent halls of death the horrors OF
A hundred battle-felds repeat the tale,
How, when the blast OF war blew DER tne piaii'
There stood the "serried ranks" all knotCec ior
The charge, but here and there lew renslieu'
For all this sacrifice of blood, for all 800.
This loss we are repaid; the evil that has
Caused unhappiness, distress and war.
Is dead; Il4t- .sf Da.4-
Theory for Justice, which for years has been
On every breeze, is heard; the agonyl -
Of long suspense is drowned in joy; in JOY
Which warriors feel, which mothers realize
For sons returned; peace hath her victories -''
No less renowned than war. 4-l4

their superiority.
