THREE GUIDES.

folling along life's thorny track,
Three guides keep pace with man;
one looks forward, another back.
And the third, beneath mans heavy
sack,
The pathway rough doth scan
The irst-the one with shining eyes
Forever points ahead;
It's Hope, who leads the youth tries
To see the whole unknown that lies
la ways their feet must tread.
Sad Memory is gray and bent;
The honr'glass sands fall fast
What 70 him is to-day's event.
Present is naught except when blent
With his lost, longed-for Past
Ones face with earnest thought is
grave;
The Mentor Of mankind
Is ever toiling on TO save
The precious hours with which we
pave
The life OF soul and mind
This hour is thine; take, use it well;
IL Is as plastic clay
That you may mold and years will tell
When soul is freed from mortal she'll
The work of hour and day.
