Trust In God and DO The Right.

Courage, brother, do not stumble,
Though thy path be dark as night;
There's star to guide the humble;
Trust in God and do the right.
Let the road be rough and dreary,
And its end far out of sight.
Foot it brave!y. strong or weary,
Trust i'll God and do the right.
Perish policy and cunning!
Perish all that fears the light!
Whether losing, whether winning,
Trust in God and do the right.
Trust no party sect or faction;
Trust no leaders in the fight;
But in every word and action,
Trust in God and do the right.
Trust no lovely forms ofpassion;
Fiends may look like angels bright;
Trust no custom, school or fIs, ion,
Trust in God and do the right.
Simple rule. and safest guiding,
Inward peace. and inward might,
Star upon our path abiding.
Trust in God and do the right.
Some will hate thee. some will love thee
Some Will ilatter. some will slight,
Cease from man. and look above thee,
Trust in God and do the right.

THE FAMILY CIRCLE,
IRISH EMIGRANT'S LAMENT,
by LADY DurrERIy.1


Pm sittin' on the stilc, Mary,
! Where we sat side by side
On bright May mornin' long ago,
} When first you We're my bride;
The corn was springing fresh and greer
And the lark sang lond and high
: And the red was on your lip, Mary,
And the love-ligit in your eye.
The place is little changed, Mary,
The day as bright as then;
The larks loud song is in my ear,
And the corn is green again;
But miss the. soft clasp of your hand,
And your breath warm Oh my cheek,
And still keep lst'nn' for the words
You never more will speak.
IT'S but step down yonder lane.
And the little church stands near,
The church where we were wed, Mary,
see the spire from here.
But the graveyard lies between, Mary
And my step might break your rest
For I've laid you, darling! down to sleep
With your baby on your brc. $.
Iii very lonely now, Mary,
For til" poor make no new friends,
But, Oh they love the better still,
The few our Father sends!
And you We're all | had, Mary,
NV blnsSin ' and p,v
There's nothing LETT to care for now,
Since my poor Mary died.
Yours was the good, brave heart, Mary,
That still kept hoping on,
When the trust in God had left nay soul,
And my arms young strength was gone;
There was comfort ever on your lip,
And the kind look on your brow
| bless you, Mary, tor tAar same,
Though you cannot hear me now.
| thank you for the patient smile
When your heart WAS tit to break,
When the hunger pain was gnawin' there,
And you hid it for my sake!
bless you for the pleasant word
When your heart was sad and sore.
D! I'm thankful you are gone. Mary,
Where grief can't reach you more.
I'm blddin' you long farewcll
My Mary--kind and true.
But Ill not forget you, darling!
In the land I'm goin' to;
fhey say there's bread and work for all,
And the sun shines always there
But Ill not iorgetiold Ireland,
Were it fifty times as fair
lnd often in those grand old woods
Ill sit and shut my eyes.
nd my heart will travel back again
To the place where Mary lies;
md I'll think I'll see the little stile,
Where we sat side by side,
md the springin' corn. and the bright May
morn,
When first You were my bride.
