A Motto for Life.

Without haste! without rost!
Bind the motto to thy breast;
Bear it with thee as spell;
Storm and sunshine guard it welll
Heed not flowers that round thee bloom
Bcar it onward to tho tomb.
Huste not! Let no thougltless deed
Nor for oye the spirits speed;
Ponder well and know tho right;
Onwnrd then, with oil thy might.
Haste not-years can ne'er atono
For orc reckless action done.
Rest notl life is sweeping by;
Go and dare before you die.
Something mighty aud sublime
Leuve behind to conquer time!
Glorious it's to live for aye
When these forms have passed away.
Haste not! Rest not Calmly wait;
Meekly bear the storms of .ate.
Duty be thy polar guide;
DO the right whate'er betidcl
Haste not! Rest uot! Conflicts past,
God shall crowu thy work at last.
