A HUMAN LIFE.


Gazing on the panorama
That Is passing on the street,
Many wild and wOndr0us drama
In each human face we meet.
Every human life q mystery,
Far beyond all'morial ken;
Every human life history,
Worthy Of poets pen.
Every human lic glory,
Or sorrow; all It's own;
Every human life story
One can fully know alonoj
Every human life beauty
That no other eye can yiowj
Every human life duty
That no other life can do.
And 10 every life belonging
Are the sobs and the delight,
And the yearnlng, and the longing
For tho love, and for the light
And the love, and the forsaking,
And the passion, and the pain,
And the sleep, aud the awaklng
And the wllful sleep again.
And the something, oh ! my brother,
In your heart as we'll as mine,
That we do not tell each other,
Be II demon, or dlylnol
Buried deep, and guarded truly,
Hid from men, but known TO God.
II divine, rewarded duly,
But II demon, Satan's rod.
Satan's rod, for ever scourging
with a deep and burning scar;
Satan's rod, for ever urging
On bis victims to despair.
All the secret thoughts and passions,
Buried In each bosom deep;
Changing with each leeting fashion,
Know no rest, aud seek no sleep.
Men with stern and rugged features
Battling with llfo's cruel tide;
Flcklc fortunes jadcd creatures
Reckless what shall next Dciide,
Pass along with looks defiant,
Proud aud stubborn as Of old

To the world SO proud and cold.
Children with their smiling faces,
Full Of innocence and glce;
Types Of virtues sunny gracos,
Merry, happy bllthe and free,

Ever passing on the street,
Happy In the fond possession,
Ot the love Of all they moeti

See that young man passing thoro;
All bis dangers quickly thickon,
All his path is htr0Wn with care.
Many secret sln and sorrow
Doth his sin-siuinol conscience drown,
And he fears lest each tomorrow,

Old and young, and boy and maiden,

While the mind Of each Is laden,
with the burden OF q dream.
Dreams of riches, Joys, and pleasures,
Thoughts Of love, or hopes Of fame;
Anxious cares for boarded treasures
Flush Of pride, or qualm Of shame.
This the oft-rcpeatcl story,
Borne along the crowded way.
Sin aud shame, and fame and glory,
Side by side pursue their way.
