The Motto.
BY JouN 9. SAVE,


"Giveme motor s6id youth
10 one whom years have rendered wise
Some pleasant thought or weighty truth.
y That briefest syllable comprise;
Some word of warning, or of cheer
To grave apon my signet here.
"'And, reverend father" said the boy
! 'sSince life, they say, is ever made
A mingled web of grief and joy; .L.
Since cares may come and pleasures fade,
Pray, let the motto have a range
OF meaning, matching every change"
"Sooth,' ~ said the sire, ''methinks yon ask
a labor something over nice,
That well a finer brain might task

colder than I--thOugh | am gray,
It's simple-'This viii pass away!'
When waited on by fortunes breeze,
b In endless peace thou seem st to glide,
Prepare betimes for rougher seas
And checks the boast of foolish pride !
Though smiling Joy isthine to-day,
g Remember, This will pass awayH
g When ali the Sky is draped in black,
Jay Aad beaten by tempestuOus gales,
Thy shuddering ship seems all a wreck,
d Then trim again thy tattered sails,
To grim despair be not prey;
Bethink thee, This will pass awayr

NJ Nor yet cast down Judge though Alright:
When skies are clear expect the closd;

the sleet was beating on the panes, and
the bare trees were grooming and moan

Then the man I hadn't seen yet for

slush, land heard the gate creak, as our
gate always does, and then champ,

Knocked not half SO loud as he did before
and opened it hot and angry. This
time saw his face, pale ghost of face,
with yellow brown hair cropped close
and great staring blue eyes and he put
his hand against the door and held it
open.
