mon Phrase Il ans going 10 work or

and ten thousand other "goings" with
tho word just" placed before them are
ords which form net work by
which thousands Of good meaning per-
sons are entangled +" | am going to
do it," is such lullaby 10 our con.
science, that it satisfies us and We do
not remember that the precious lrag
ments of time which we are wasting
can never be recalled they are gone
fore yer.
We gaze insensible at the changes
which nature brings to view ard
those which have been presented from
creations early dawn to the present
and we forget that Times hand |
wrought these changes-Could we
calculate the value Of heeiing mo-
ments, our agricultural pursuits
and the expansion. OF our minds
would reach far above any thing that
the human race has ever conceived.
We gaze at the starry heavens with
its comets darting with lightning
speed through the skies and note the
changes which occur from season
to season, Spring brings forth flowers
Of all colors, making our earth an
Eden aId causing our hearts 10 grow
light aud happy with the beauties so
lavishly bestowed Time swiftly

his chill breath and heecy mahtle GOV.
ering everything aud surrounding
every heart with gloom-Thus is lie;
in youth we are gay and joyous, AID
think not of the passing moments, the
flowers Of happy existence bloom
on every side but, when we recall
the moments that have passed so
swiftly, sigh is drawn from
our troubled hearts, and our
breasts heave with emotion, when we
think DER the happy past aud recall
all our misspent moments we think
that if we only had the power of re-
calling those precious fragments of
time we would spend them SO much
more profitably.
Although we med tate upon the
past and weep over its shortcomings
we forget that We are week by week,
and day by day, wasting moments
which will cause the same grief in the
future as those that have been spent.
When School days and working sea-
son are here we long for their close,
when passed, We sigh that they are
gone. Could We in our bitter recol-
Iections oil misspent time see as did
the hero OF Hyperion. this inscription
upon a tablet. Look not mourulul-
Iy 10 the past, it comes not back
again" VIC might with brave hearts
il Wisely improve the present" for 1t
alone is ours.
Whilst our Savior was upon earth
he wrought many miracles before the
eyes of wondering multitudes, He
healed the sick raised the dead and
comforted the broken hearted, yet we
find not among these mighty works,
that be said TO any single day, Thou
shalt dawn again." We have two.
