We sleep and wake and sleep, but all things
move: !
The sun flies forward to his brother sun
The dark earth follows wheeled in her ellipse
And human things returning on themselves
Move onward, leading up the golden year.
All, though the times when some new thought
can bud
Are but as poets seasons when they fowe !
Yet seas that daily gain upon the snore
Have ebb and flow conditioning their march;
And slow and sure comes up the golden year.
Then wealth no more skall rest in mounded
heaps,
But smit with freer light shall slowly melt
In many streams to fatten lower lands,
And light shall spread, and man be liker
man - !
Through all the seasons Of the golden year.
Shall eagles not be eagles wrens be wrens
1t all the world be falcons, what of that?
The WonCer of the eagle were the less,
But not less the eagle. Happy days,
Roll onward, leading up the golden year.
Ely, happy, happy sails, and bear the Press,
Ely, happy with the mission of the Cross:
Knit land to land and blowing heavenWa I'd
With silks, and fruits, and spices, clear o.
toll, a..r-..r #l1 ri :
Enrich the markets of the golden year.
Bat NE grow old. All when shall all mems
good
By each mans rule and universal peace
Lie Ike shaft of light across the land,
And like a lane Of beams athwart the sea.
Through all the circles of the golden year.

SEA VOICES.

My boy and | walked on the beach
And listened to the treacherous sea;
The treacherous sea with double speech
One voice tor him and one for me.
One was SIRENS, pure and sweet.
Faint as the dip of silver oar;
A murmur ripping to our feet,
I'm coming, coming to the shore ~
One was shadows, borne away
Half lost amid the breakers roar;
A low, sad voice, that seemed to say,
"Oh, never, never, never more -

"WATrINe FOR THE EVENING TRAIN. :"
The following beautiful sketch was
wri tten by the late ThurlowW eed Brown,
for the Wisconsin Chief, in 1859:
Waiting for the BOentng 2raib.'-
The speaker was the Oldest Of a crowd Of
people, moving restless about the depot.
His form was bowed with years and hard
toll his hair was white and his hand
tremuous. There was that in his coun-
tenance and manner which always wins
confidence and respect, and brings mp q
pleasant dream Of a substantial farmhouse,
a worthy family and life teaching at the
principles of industry, integrity and
honor.
And the old man will not wait lone, for
the train is sweeping in on the down
grade. The hours wear away. The sun
is going down, and the shadows are al
ready thckening over the track beyond.
And there is but one chance on the route
that by the deep river which rolls be-
tween this and the other shore. ~
More than twenty years ago he received
a through ticket over the straight and
narrow way, whose terminus is in the
eternal city. Death is the mighty
engine, and for thousands of years it has
swept this down grade, hourly, with
loaded trains. 1t stops at every STATEN.
We are all waiting for the train
There are the morning and the noon
trains; those filled with the children;
with the pleasure, seeking and the sorrow
stricken. We know not the time when

THE COMING TIME.

When men forget their love OF gold,
And love their honor more
When truth is only current coin,
And counted DER and DER;
When men love freedom for its sake
For all as we'll as one
And, for the greatest good, their work,
From day to day is done
When men throw self aside and live
For some just purpose high,
Then will the glorious era come
When none shall fear to die.

A BAD HABIr.-It has been most aptly
said that we, as a people, read too much.
and think about what we read too little; the
consequence is that most of the people we
meet know something in a superficial way

had been his habit for years to reflect for a

Oh! the day is very weary
And the night is long and dreary s
Hope has taken wings and flown M
Nothing but despair is known.
Listen to thy plant, my heart.
Will this sorrow e'er depart
Bitter is this load of SORROW, - asts
Meier to lessen on The morrow, 3
All is sadness, JOY is napght
Bitter memories come unsought.
Listen to thy plant, my heart:
VIII this sorrow e'er depart?
Oh Thou,who dost reign above US,
Thou whosdOst so dearly love US, e
Hear US while we sadly cry
Hear US from Thy throne on high
listen to thy plant, my heart:
Will this sorrow e'er depart
All my soul, tits sin to sorrow;
There'll be many bright tomorrow.
Think Of thy Redeemer's grief
Bitter sorrow! No relief
All my heart bows lowly down
Bear the cross and win the crown.
Whom He loves our God chastises,
When our morrow's sun arises
Wen remember this, our grief
He will bring in time relief.
All my heart bows lOwly down
Bear the cross and win the crown
Every soul is heavens treasure, 10
Bought at price beyond all measure.

Thou dost know all for the best
All my heart bows lowly down!
