"MEMORY PRESIDES OVER THE PAST; ACTION OVER THE PRESENT." Fear not my spirit, though thy path is clouded. Onward, although the night is dark and drear; Onward, although thy bright young dreams aro shrouded: Pause but to shod o'er thorn one burning tear. , Pause but to shed one tear. Let not thy sorrow Corrupt thy heart: think what the noble bore, Toiling and hoping; trusting each to-morrow Would yet repay what tney endured before. Onward and upward. There behold thy star : Whilst thou are true, that star will never die. It may seem clouded, and it may seem far: 'Tis but the mist of earth which dims thine eye. NeVer despair: the work which God has given Perform, with fearless heart and willing hand: Dread not the storms of earth; though wildly driven On through the darkness, never turn or stand. Onward and upward, step by step arise ; Never bow down unto the fiend despair: List to the angel voice that ever cries, " The reward is theirs who toil, and hope, and bear." Qnward and upward; watch the goal, and never Think that the toil is greater than the prize. No noble deed or work of love can wither; No word of truth and beauty ever dies. Onward and upward: though thy heart is weary, Thy griefs are known unto the great Divine. Onward: although the way is long and- dreary, Learn to be strong, and calmly bide thy time. Canterbury. . P.
