NO TIME TO LOSE
Young friend, you're' fond of sport and play — In that there's nothing wrong 1. But, as I love you, let me say, Don't be a boy too long ! ■ You have your name and fame to make, Your path to carve or choose — Believe you me, though young you be, You have no time to lose.
An early start in honor's race — 0 that's the way to win! A late set out, a lazy pace Is very like a sin. If you but think the matter o'er, You'll come to share, my views, And say to mo, ' Well, yes, I see, 1 have no time to lose.'
And don't forget as on you go, However high you rise, The goal is set, not here below, But far beyond the skies. I got a hint myself to-day From dear old Father Hughes — ' T.D.,' said he, ' at seventy-three You'll have no time to lose !' — Catholic Standard and Times.
