Arisel for the day is passing,

Arise for the day is passing,
And you lie dreaming on;
The others have buekled their armor,
And forth to the fight have gone;
a place in the ranks awaits you.
Each man has some part to play;
The Past and the Future are nothing,
In the face of the stern To-day.
Rise from your dreams of the future,
OF gaining some hard fought field;
OF storming some airy fortress,
Or bidding Some giant yield;
Your future has deeds of glory,
OF honnr-God grant 1t may
But your arm will never be stronger,
Or the need so great as Too day.
RiseI if the Past detains you,
Her sunshine and storms forget;
No chains so unworthy to hold YOU
As those of vain regret; e.
Sad or bright, she is lifeless ever;
Cast her phantom arms away,
Nor look back, save to learn the lesson
OF nObler strife To-day, H
Risel for the day is passing;
The sound that you scarcely hear,
Is the enemy marching 10 battle;
Arisel for the foe is herel
Stay not to sharpen your weapons
Or the hour viii viii strike at last,
when from dreams OF a coming battle.
@You may wake to find it pastp'

aud bo perfected, BY our experience. Congross
might provide for bureau Of Transportnt1on

Of wrugng tho water out Of Interstate railway
