And, II yOu will, declare mans story told,
Yet, pure as faith Is pure;
And sure as death is sure.
AS long as love shall live, shall song endurer
When one by one the stately. silent Year
Glide like pale ghosts beyond Our yearn
ing sight,
Vainly awe. we stretch our arms to stay theil
So soon, so swift, they pass to endIes,
night
We hardly learn to name them.
10 praise them, or to blame them.
To know their shadOwy faces,
Ere we see their empty placesi
Only once the glad Spring Qreets them.
Only once fair Summer meets them
Only once the Autumn glory
Tells for them its mystic story;
Only once the Winter hoary
Weayes for them its robes OF liRhtl
Years leave their work half-done; like
men, alasl
With sheaves ungathered to their graves
they pass,
And are forgotten. What they strive To do
Lives for while in memory of a few:
Then over all Oblivion's waters flow
The Years are buried in the Long ARol
But when Century dies, what room is
there for tears
Rather in solemn exaltation let us come.
With roll of drum,
mot mufted as in woe,)
With blare OF bugles, and the liquidflOw
VI silver clnrlons, aud the long appeal
Of the clear trumpets ringing peal on peal.
With clash OF bells, and hosts in proud
array
To pay meet homage to its burial day
Fori proud work is done. It's name is
writ
Where all the ages that come after it
Shall read the eternal letters, blazoned
high
On the blue dome of the impartial sky.
What ruthless fate can darken its re-
nown,
Or dim the lustre of Its starry crownf
On mountain-Deaks of Time each Century
stands alone;
And each, for glory or for shame, hath
reaped what it hath sown!
But this-the one that gave thee birth
a hundred years ago, o beauteOus motherl
This mighty century had a mightier brother,
Who from the watching earth
Passed but last year! Twin-bOrn indeed
were they
For what ere twelve months to the womb of
Pregnant With ages NHand in hand they

With great, strong souls that never stopped

Did the roses blow last Junef

Do the wild winds wall no moro
Is there now no thunder Of billOwB

For over all its wide domain,
From shore to shore, from main to
