ton demand ii, and the country calls not
in vain upon her children. To die for
ones country is the elimination of virtuous
deeds and well may he be proud who

What the country most need at the

in every department of material affairs /;
young men in the peaceful pursuits; in

her court, and the wants of the world pay
grateful tribute for supplies, There is no
lack Of acork. Work for the hands, the
head and heart, --honorabl and well
requited labor. But let it be remem-
bered that aacultipated brain and muscle
must ever do the dirty and badly remuner-
ated labor, while the true aristocracy of
industry finds its highest development
and most ample reward in the faithful com
bination and publication of the faculties of
mind and body.

Huge and black the mountains STAND

And the river, dark and deep,
siropes It's way from steep TO steps,
Wonder tree, whose Young leaves played
In the sunshine and the shade,
Stretches out its arms like one
Sudden blindness hath undone.
Pale and dim the TOse-queen lies
Robbed of all her gorgeous dyes,
And the lily bendeth low,
Nourner In gaTb Of woe.
Never a shadow comes or goes,
Never a CLEAN Its glory throws
Over cottage or over hall
Darkness broodeth over all u
Night witheut on fame and shrine,
Night within this soul OF mine
Cropping blindly In the dark,
Searching for come sure landmark
Wrestling of with uneeliet ,,,-s
Nexed by questions sharp and brleii
Yearning what am 10 know,
Whence me or where go
Fain 10 learn the mysteries hid,
Even the simplest lives amid,
And its secrets dark to rest
From the graves unfathomed breast.
Seeking in a maze Of creeds
One best suited to my needs;
Tossed upon a sea Of doubt,
Fears within and storms without;
Striving still the way TO see
Where the thickest shadows be,
Reaching ever toward the light,
In my soul is darkest night !.
LOT the glorious morning breaks
Mature from her sleep awakes,
And, in purple pomp, the day
Crowned with light the mountains stand
Royalty on eth, hand,
And the laughing waters run
In glad haste TO meet the sHn.
Stately trees, eIukant, raise
Their proud heads in grateful praise;
flowers, dew-laden, everywhere
Pour rich incense on the air,
Aud the ascending yapors rise
Like the smoke OF sacrifice.
Birds are trilling, bees are hummlng,
Swift TO greet the new day coming,
And earth's myriad voices sing
Hymns of grateful welcoming
Bursting from nights heavy thrall,
Heavens own light is over all
LIGHT in Natures Utmost shrine,

In serene and tranquil rest
Caring not the way TO see
While ne gently leadeth me,
Fearing not the treacherous dark
While to his dear voice bark
Knowing If the way be dim
I must closer cling to him
What cannot understand
Glad to leave in Gods own hand,g
gure that Heaven is over all,
And that He loves great and small;
Yielding the present TO his will,
For the future trusting still
While beyond deaths mystery
The calm face Of Christ see,
That dear face whose loving eyes
Wept alone in sad surprise.
