THE INSTRUCTOR.

Not till We meet with Love in all his beauty,
In all his solemn majesty and worth,
Can we translate the meaning of LIES duty,
Which God oft writes in CIPHER at our birth.
Not till love comes in all his strength and ter
ror,
Can we read others hearts; nor till then
know
wide compassion for II human error,
Or sound the Quiyering depths Of mortal woe
Not till we sail with him DER stormy oceans
Have We seen tempests; hidden in his hand
He holds the Keys to all great emotions;
Till he unlocks them none can understand
Not till we walk with him on lofty mountain
Can We quite measure heights. And, oh, sad
truth,
When once we drink from his immortal foun.
tainS,
We bid farewell to the light heart Of youth.
Thereafter our most perfect day will borrow
A dimming shadow from some dreaded night
So great grows joy it merges into sorrow,
And evermore pain tinctures our delight
