PERSEVERANCE.


One step then another,
And the longest walk is ended;
One stitch and then another,
And the longest rent is mended;
One brick upon another,
And the highest wall Is made;
One fake upon another,
And the deepest snow is laid.
So the coral al-workers
By he slow aud constant motion,
Have built those pretty islands
In the distant dark-bluc ocean,
And the noble undertaking..
Mans wisdom hath conceived,
BY oft repeated effort
Have been patiently achieved.
Then, do not look disheartened
On the work you have to do,
And say that such mighty task
You never can get through,
But just endeavor day by day
Another point to gain,
And soon the mountain which you feare'
viii prove to be plain.
Rome was not build I'd in day.
The ancient proverb teaches,s
Aud Nature by her trees and flowers
The same sweet sermon breaches.
Think not Of far-off duties,
But of duties which are nearj
And, having once begun to work,
Resolve to persevere.

In a small enclosure, planted
with cypress trees and shut in with
