Hope has the power of soaring with
a strong. and untiring pinon from all
that is dark and dreary, into the ra-
diont atmosphere of ofpoctry. 1t takes
usinto aworld Of drcames, and causes
the heart to wander amongst visions.
II divcrts the thoughts from the real
to the ideal, and leads us amongst
the picture CLEANS of fancy to Iingcr
in the fairy realms of art. 1t hastens
us into a visionary world, that we may
nave dreams ofGiory, power and fame.
1t unfolds dazzling scroll, and shows
us engraven on it an immortal name.
Its holy task is TO exhibit to us, even
when care surrounds us, and VIC are
trcading along harse path, time
of dizzy joys, and to change into
bright tenchantments the stern realities
Of actual life. Nor do the strength
of its dreams, the nobIeness Of its
desires, and the beauty ofits thoughts
cease to actuatc and influence our
hearts even when life grows pale and
wancs fast, when VIC turn our thoughts
from earth TO heaven on the couch of
sickness and weakness, and when
the faint voice and fainter pulse speak
in warming whispers of time to die.
1t boldly walks along with us, promp-
ting the spirit never to rcpine from
the cradle to the grave.
We all hope. In everyone of us
that passion finds an object to feed
upon. We all form some beau ideal
we all sketch some fancy portrait,
which we fondly cherish, and hope to
find the fair original. When hope
tirsS,shcdsits influence upon the heart,
AL ones rowing thoughts are concen-
tratcd upon one object. a vacuum
within is filed, of which we have
never before known the extent.
Needless Indifference to SUCCESS in
life forsakcs one. A new stimulus
succeeds; the minds revolve upon
splendid success. All the aIIuring
avenues Of fame are spread open be-
fore us. We burn to achieve some
arduous enterprise which shall be
worthy of the mind Of man.
But strong as is the spell of hope
to incite and inspire us, equally
strong is it to deIudc and deceive us.
The fraud is-sweet, but bitter pain
and keen despair await to torment us
upon our awakening and finding its
chain broken and lying around US in
glittering fragments. The heart that
trusts the siren smile of hope drinks
the most coPious draught of pleasure
while it grasps its soul sought treas
ure; but when the mystic CLEAN de-
parts, the heart sinks coldEy, and too
often breaks amidst the worlds un-
kindness.

Il may not be our lot to weld
The sickle in the ripened field;
Nor ours to hear, on summer oySs,
The reapers' song among the sheaves.
Yet when our duty's task is wrought
In unison with Gods great thought,
The near and future blend in one,
And whatsoe'er is willcd is done.
And ours the grateful service whence
Comes, day by day, the recompensc;
The hope, the7t trust, the purpose stayed,
The fountain, aud the MONDAY shade.
And were this life the utmost span,
The only end and aim of man.
Better the toll of fields like theSag
Than waking dreams and slothful ease.
But life, though failing like our grain,
Like that, revivcs and springs again
And carly called, how blest are they
Who wait in heaven their harvest day!
Spirit of Jefferson. [volume] (Charles Town, Va. [W. Va.]) 1844-1948, 1883-07-17
