AN ECHO.

How slowly up the steep we climb!
We take but one step Mt n time
So small II step that scarcely we
Seem climbing up perceptibly.
So near tho base below appears,
We sometimes think with tired tears,
Though all our energies we strain,
The summit we can never gain.
But not for long yield we supinc,
For on the road we see the sign
Left by the wounded feet of those
Who, like ourselves, the rough rond choor.
And from the farolr heights where they,
Like bay crowned victOrs, stand today,
We hear an echo-"tSuragc keep,
We toilcd rs slowlyN the steep"
