FILL NO GLASS fOa ME.
BY S. @. FOSTER.


o COMRADES! fill no glass for me,
To drown my soul in liquid flame;
For if drank, the toast should be-
To blighted fortune, health and fame.
Yet though long to quell the strife
That passion holds against my life,
still boon companions you may be,
But, comrades. fill no glass for me
know a breast that once was light,
Whose patient sufferings need my care;
! know a heart that once was bright.
But dropping hopes have nestled there.
Then, while the tear-drops nightly steal
From wounded hearts that l should heal,
Though boon companions you may be,
o comrades fill no glass for me
When was young felt the tide
Of aspiration undefled.
But manhOod's years have wrOnged the pride
My parents centred in their child.
Then by mothers sacred tear,
By all that memory should revere,
Though boon companions you may be,
comrades fill no glass for me!

LIFE THOUGHTS.
BY T. l.

BY 7. l.
Away, ye world of vain deceit,
Let good desires full weave to-day
Gold threads into my path complete,
Driving low, sinful thoughts away.
Smte selfshness from out my heart,
And lift my soul to nObler things,
True life and love to be impart,
Such life and love that friendship brings.
Give to my life its hours of bloom.
Before the night of death comes on;
Press not my soul with sorrow y gloom,
But give me much of JOY and song.
Give to my soul Christ's strength of love,
Before sin takes a stronger hold
When faith looks up TO Heav'n above,
Then give that higher life fOretOld.
This life Is but passing charm,
Of little worth and nothing true
Save what is giv'n by Heavens arm,
In mercy for the righteous few.
Then say not. fond, vain heart within,
That mercy's arms are ever wide;
For turning from the ways Of sin,
May find day of grace denied.
Nav not despair possess my soul,
While life and promises are Siv'n
The love of Christ can sin control,
COntinu'd life is hope OF lIeav'n.
