The ENDLESS PROCESSION.

Down the vista Of the ages,
Saints and sinners, fools and sages,
Marching onward, slow and solemn,
Go in never ending column -
Here the honest. here the knlve--
With u rhythmic step sublime,
To the grave.
Like the rolling of the river,
Going on AMI on forever,
Never resting, never staying,
Never for an instant staying.
Peer and peasant, lord and slave,
Equals soon to mix an mingle
In the grave.
Duty cannot, nor can pleasure,
For II moment break the measure;
They are marching on to doom,
They are moving to the tomb.
All the crowd, all the brave,
Soon to level all distinction
In the grave.
slnce.the morning Of creation,
Without break or termination,
Ever on the line is moving,
all the love and all the loving,
All that mothers ever gave
on to silence and to slumber
In the grave.
Here no bribe the bond can weaken,
Here no substitute is taken;
Each one for himself-no other,
Bon nor father; no, nor brother;
Love the purest cannot safe;
Zach alone the roll must answer
In the grave,
Who commands the dread procession
mat shall know no retrogression
who can be the great director
ma that grim and grizzly spectre,
nun that Sin to Satan gave;
Death, the mighty King of Terrors,
In the grave.

"Blessed be nothlngw an oil woman
said
As she scrubbed away for her daily
bread,
"I'm better of than my neighbor the
squire;
Hes afraid of robbers, afraid Of fire,
Afraid Of food to wreck his mill,
Afraid Of something to cross his will.
I've nothing to burn and nothing to
steal,
But bit OF pork and a barrel Of meal.
A house that only keeps OIL the rain
Il easy burnt and built up again.
Blessed be nothing My heart is
light;
| sing Mt my washing, and sleep all
night"
BLESSED be nothing" the young man
cried,
As he turned with a smile to his smil-
ing bride,
Banks are breaking and stocks are
down,
There's dread and bitterness all over
town;
There are brokers groaning and bank
era sad,
And men whose losses have made
them mad;
There's silk and satin, but want OF
bread,
And many woman would fain be
dead,
Whose little children sob and cling
For the daily JOY she cannot bring.
Blessed be nothing, for You and me I!
We have no riches on win .,s to lee.n
Blessed be nothing! II man might
choose,
For he who hath it hath naught to
lose;
Nothing to fear from flood or fire,
All things to hope for and desire;
The dream that il better than waking
days,
The future that feeds the longing gaze,
Better, far better, than auyht we hold,
A. far as the mining excecdeth gold,
Or hope frl:ition ia earth below,
Or peace that il In outward show.

ton of half-salness that we experience
when, the bngest, day of, the year is
passed, and every day that follows is
shorter, and the lighter and feeblersIrad-
ows tell that nature is Fastening with
gigantic footsteps to her, winter grave.
So does man look back upon his youth.
When the first gray hairs become visible,
when the unweleome truth fastens itself
upon the mind that a man is no longer
going up hill, but down, and the sun is
always westering, he looks back on
things behind, when we were children.
But now there lies before us manhood,
with its. earnest work, and then old age.
and then the grave and then home,
There is a,second youth for man better
and holier than his first. if he will look
forward and not backward - ''.
