What of That?

In reply to request, Mr.. w. 2. Partee,
of Lynchburg. sends the following poem:
WHAT OF THAT?
Tired! Well, and what OF that7
Didst fancy life was spent on beds Of
ease,
F1uttering the rose leaves scattered by
the breeze?
Come, rouse thee! Work while It IS
called to-day!
Cowards. Arise, go forth upon thy way!
Lonely! And what OF that?
Some must be lonely: It's not given to all
To feel heart responsive rise and fall
To blend another life into It's own;
Work may be done in loneliness; work on!
Dark! Well. and what of that?
Dldst fondly dream the sun would never
set?
Dost fear to lose thy way? Take cour-
age yet;
Learn thou to walk by faith, and not by
Thy steps will guided be. and guided
Hard! Well, and what Of that?
Didst fancy life one summer holiday,
With lessons none to learn, and naught
but play?
Go! Get thee to thy task! Conquer or
die!
1t must be learned; learn it, then. pa
tlently.
No help Nay It's not so;
Though human help be far. thy God Is
nigh,
Who feeds the ravens, hears Ills chill
dren's cry;
He's near thee wheresoe'er thy footsteps
roam
And He will guide thee. light thee. help
thee home.

Virginia.
The roses nowhere bloom so white
AS in Virginia.:
The sunshine nowhere shines so bright
AS in Virginia;
The birds sing nowhere quite so sweet,
And nowhere hearts so lightly beat,
For heaven and earth both seem to meet,
Down in Virginia.
The days are never quite SO long
AS in Virginia.
Nor quite SO filled with happy song
AS in Virginia;
And when my time mas come to die,
Just take me back and let me lie
Close where the Shenandoah goes by.
Down in Virginia.
There nowhere is n land so fair
AS in Virginia;
So full of song, so free from care
AS in Virginia:
And I believe that Happy Land
The Lord prepared for mortal man
Is built exactly on the plan
