LIFE.
Ah! how full life is of changes, Not a inomo.it, not an hour T Can wo tell what dangers threaten, Or what evils round, as lower. Forth we go to toil ex pleasure, Gaily in the morning light, Never thinking wo may never Seo our homes again at night. But the future in. our fancy Stretches onward far before; And we think not that our voyage On life's eea, may soon bo o'er. Perhaps a thoughtless word is spoken Ere the day is well begun, Unrepented, unforgiven, At tho setting of the sun. Then, maybe, thero is no rising For one soul, for it has fled, Lost tho chanoe of reconciling, For tho words can ne'er be said. Let us then be kind to others, Not to-morrow, but to-day; It will mako our lives moro happy, Make more bright another's way.
