An anthem sung 10 the MONDAY, a chant of the

And this is Life. I read IT. ard Life, in its

To breathe the wind on the ranges the scent

To stride, and strive. and be thankful, TO
weather the shine and storm,

And no reward do ask for. save only to work
and wait
To praise the Cod of my fathers, to labor
beneath His sky
To dwell alone in His greatness to strike AMI

comes TO feel that he himself could grind OUT

that he cannot; but he that Mr.. Jerome
can and at least he becomes accustomed to
what he may expect. so that the sketches. even
