OPPORTUNITY.

The late Senator ingalls, wrote a
high-sounding, beautifully worded
poem, i'm which he proclaimed that
opportunity knocks but once" That
poem was read by millions of people,
and it worked injury to those who
accepted the statement as true, says
the Tampa Times. The fact is that
opportunity is daily and hourly knock
ing at the door Of every man, woman
ard child in this world, and this fact
is beautifully proclaimed in the fol-
lowing poem, written by the late
Judge Walter Malone of Memphis:
They do me wrong who say come
no more
When once knock and fail to find
you In;
For every day stand outside your
door,
And bid you wake and rise to fight
and win.
Wall not for precious chances past
away,
Weep not for golden ages on the
wane!
Each night I burn the records Of the
day
At sunrise every soul il born again.
Laugh like q boy at splendors that
have sped,
TO vanished joys be blind and deaf
and dumb;
My judgments seal the dead past
with it's dead,
But never bind q moment yet TO
come.
Though deep III mire, wiring not your
hands and weep;
lend my arm to all who say II
CAMP
No shame-faced outcast ever sank
so deep,
But yet may rise and be again a
man.
Dost thou behold thy, lost youth all
aghast?
Dost reel from righteous retribu-
TONS blow?
Then turn from blotted archives OF
the past,
And find the futures pages white
as snow.
Art thou a nnourner? Rouse thee
from thy spell;
Art thou a sinner? Sins may be
forgiven;
Each morning gives thee wings to
fly from hell,
Each night star 10 guide thy feet
30 heaven.
