TOMORROW.

How many hearts with longing hopes
Are waiting for tomorrow
To somr twill bring its wealth OF joy,
To some its cup of sorrow.
We bear the burdens of to-day
And often find them lighter
In thinking that tomorrow s sky
Will he little brighter.
Our hearts would oftentimes grow faint,
And be still more weary,
The world would have less charms for us,
And life seem dark and dreary
IF II were not for hopes that cling
To something yet before us;
To-morroW's hand of promise holds
Its slken curtain DER us
The grief that rends our hearts when death
Earth's tenderest ties doth sever.
Fen though upheld by unseen hands,
We could not bear forever.
Our loving Father hath ordained
For us sUrcease of sorrow,
And hath put within our hearts
Hopes of a blest tomorrow.
-(The Rev. W. r. Fitch iE Christian Advocate
