in the ditch aud the coroner notified,
who on investigation found that he
had sat down on the cross ties and
fallen asleep and was struck by the
Norfolk train, and hurled into he
ditch, badly broken up, and prob

When I consider how my light is
spent
Ere half my days, in this dark world
and wide,
And that one Talent which is death
to hide,
Lodged with me useless, though my
Soul more bent
To serve Herewith my Maker, anG
present
My true account, lest he returning
chide;
"Doth God exact day-labor, light
denied?"
I fondly ask. But patience, to pre-
vent
That murmur, soon replies, 5000
doth not need
feEither mans work or his own gifts
Fl VINO best
Bear his mild yoke, they serve hin
best. His state
Is kingly; thousands at his bidding
speed
post DER land and ocean with
out rest;
They also serve who only stand an6
waltz
