The Wav of the World.

The Way of the World.
This world is a weary old workshop Mt
best,
And the work must go on,
Day in and day out, without respite
or rest,
Still the work must go on;
However the smile of the morn may
invite
The soul to day and a dream of de-
light,
We must turn from the lure, we must
face to the right,
For the work must go on.
Yes, the work must go on and the
hammers must swing,
And a task to be done confronts peas
ant and king;
And the dreamer must stifie the song
he would sing,
For the work must go on.
The heart may be heavy, the hand
may be worn,
But the work must 20 on;
The spirit within may be tortured and
torn,
But the work must go on.
Though morning may plunge us the
deeper in dole,
Though evening bring nothing to
soothe or console,
We are yokcd to a force that we may
not control,
And our work must 20 on.
Yes, the work must go on and the
wheels must go round,
And the hammers must swing and the
anviIs must sound,
And new words must be spoken, new
thoughts must be found,
For the work must go on.
A worker outwearied falls down at
the loom,
But the work must go on;
The toiler that falls for another makes
room,
And the work must go on;
Another steps into the place and the
pay
To forward the task howsoeyer he
may,
And the worker who dies is forgot in
a day,
But the work must go on.
Yes, the work must go on and the
dullest must learn
That the life of man is of minor
concern,
IT'S our fate to fall out one by one in
our turn,
But the work must go on.

WITH the POETS
The Dead Priest,

.
The dream of a smile OH it's face,
\ shadow slept folded in vestments,
Dim, soft as the CLEAN after sunset
That hangs like halo of grace
Where the daylight hath died in the
valley
And the twilight hath taken it's
place
y shadow! But still on the mortal
There rested the tremulous trace
OF the joy Of a spirit immortal
Passed up to it's God in His grace.
A shadow! Hast seen in the summer
\ cloud wear the smile Of the sun?
On tile shadow Of death there is FASH
The glory of noble deeds done.
On the face of the dead there is glow
The light of a holy race run,
And the smile on the face is rejecting
The CLEAN Of the crown he has won.
Still, shadow, sleep OH in the vest
mentS
Unstained by the priest who has
gone.
Yea, SORROW weeps over the shadow,
But faith looks aloft to the skies,
nd S,1,> &C.
Ger the tears that rain down from
their eyes.
They murmur on earth "De profundis;"
The low chant is mingled with signs.
"Laudate' rings out through the heav-
The dead priest hath won his faiths

Mothers Way.

Mothers Way.
Oft within our little cottage,
AS the shadows gently fall,
While the sunlight touches softly
One sweet face upon the wall,
Do we gather close together,
And in hushed and tender tone
Ask each others full forgiveness
For the wrong that each has done
Should you wonder why this custom
At the ending Of the day,
Eye and voice would quickly answer
sit was once our mothers way"
If our home be bright and CHEEKY,
If it holds welcome true,
Opening wide it's door of greeting
10 the many-not the few;
If we share our Fathers bounty
With the needy day by day,
Ills because our hearts remember
This was ever mothers way.
Sometimes when our hands grow
weary,
Or our tasks seem very long;
When our burdens look too heavy,
And we deem the right all wrong;
Then we gain new, fresh courage,
And we rise to proudly say:
''Let us do our duty bravely-
That was our dear mothers way
Then we keep her memory precious
While we never cease to pray
That at least when lengthenine
shadows
Mark the evening of our day,
They may find us waiting calmly
To go home our mothers way.

Speech.

Talk happiness. The world is sad
enough
Without your woes. No path is Who'll
ly rough;
Look for the places that are smooth
and clear,
And speak Of those to rest the weary
IF earth. so hurt by one continuous
strain
Of human discomfort and grief and
pain.
Talk faith. The world is better off
without
Your uttered ignorance and morbid
If you have faith in God, or man, or
self,
Act so; if not, push back upon the
shelf
In silence all your thoughts till faith
shall come;
No one will grieve because your lips
are dumb.
Talk health. The dreary, never-chang-
ing tale
or mortal maladies is worn and stale.
You cannot charm, or interest, or
please,
BY harping on that minor chord, dis
ease,
If you are well, or all is we'll with you
Then God shall hear your words and
make them true.
