STRUGGLE

Great strength is bought with pain. From out u
strife, ... -..--.--,
From out the storms that sweep the human SOUL
Those hidden tampests OF tho inner ifc,-
Comes forth the lofty calm Of sclf-control.
Peace after WAT. Although Size heart may be
- Trauatled md p1oged like torn b7tt1e-dt!d1
lslch are the fruits that follow victory -
And battle grounds fullest larTe8t8 yield.
Strong grows his arm who breasts downward streaz
Aud stems with steady stroks the mighty tide
or his own passions. Bore the wrench may seem,
Yet only he ia strong whose strength IL trtod.
To toll Is hard To lay aside the oar
To softly rise and fall with passions swe1,-
L. easier far but, when the dream Is o'er,
The bitterness Of waking none can tell.
To float at ease, by sleepy zephyrs famed,
Is but to grow more feeble, day by day,
While slips LIES little hour out, sand by sand.
And strength aud hope together waste away.
He only wins who sets his theHs Of steel
With tighter tension for the prick Of pain;
Who wesries, Jet stands fast: whose patient zaat
Welcomes the preseut loss for future gain.
Toll before ease; the cross before the crown.
Who coyets rest, he first must earn the boon.
He who at night In peace would Lay him down,
Must bear his load amid tho heats Of noon.

THE WIND ON THE WLLAGE-GRAVES.

The Autumn-wtnd, one golden MON,
Came singing down the ais1es Of corn;
Came singing like some happy child
Into dalBied paths beguiled;
And shook the flowers that DER the fence
Leaned In careless Incidence.
The sun hsd Juat reached ont and kissed
Tho tree-tops, from his cow1 Of mist;
And, spreading far as eye could gaze,
There rose . tender eea OF haze,
That made the landscape dim, but fair,
Az gauze more sweet makes pictures 1Are.
On nclds where ,ato the sickle played,
A newborn verdurc softly 1aid,
And, round their cool md dery b1fna,
Tho c1ecper wore gay, scarlet rims;
While, through tho lchened meadow-baEB,
This aster thrust her golden stars.
And all the world WAS ripe and fair;
And, on the sweet September air,
There hung the breath Of golden grain,
And fruits o'cr1ipcned on the plain,
Tuat seemed to wait the lightest breeze
To loose their hold from burdened trees.
And as the wind came singing on,
Der fences aud o'er faded lnxu,
AL through tho sotub1ous eolitudcs,
That drowsod within the redd'ntng woods,
The noises crept OF rustlina aheaf,
And piping reeds, and shaken Leaf
Then to tho vtlIage-graves 1t crept.
Where flowers their death.watch softly kept,
And shook their tears OF gold-ut dew
Upon the sod and trailing yew,
And broke the grasses, low and still
In many rift and chasing rin
And thus It gang. now wild, now low,
Through grasses waviug to and fro:
"Slumber swees, o happy dead!
For summers aong and b!oomB have fed:
And leaves are falling everywhere,
And sighs Of death are on the air.
!" ! warmer far bed Of 1oam-
0. sweeter far thy client home
O! brighter far thy starlcss night,
Than coming Winters chill and blight
Yes, warmer, sWecter, hrightcr-aH,
Thy bed where never storms m3J fall.
II Thy sleep no aupuished dreaming mars;
Tis but the blank between two stars
4 mystic pa1lse 'twecn Heaven and Ea-th-
4 Morta1's death-au Angels birth.
Gods loving hand hut shades thine eyes
To 1T them for glad surprise!
= Each shining lance Of living senEe
Is eheAthed IN s1utnbers calm intense
Diest Sleep tits well for bitter fray,
From teupcsts wild, ts On the way.
Thy folded eyes no sweets shall miss,
Nor weep DER ruined realms Of blia5.
Like dumb, cold aeeds in silent earth.

take delight in threatening one another with

amabilty, which only renders their threats Of

with the gaudiness OF their attire. Here gem
