EMOLUMENTS. 
BY WM. E. C. KNOWLES. 
All honors, whether of tlie camp or hall, 
Are won by toil. Yet up the steep ascent 
We climb with weary feet, and find that all 
Our hopes are dimmed with doubt and discontent. 
There is no smoothen’d pathway here to fame, 
No path to glory with an open door, 
And he who strives for either, finds the same 
Impediments that checked those gone before. 
And many more have started, and turned baek 
Again, than winners in the life-long race, 
Whose feet grew weary fas they pressed the track. 
Rugged and rough, with dangers face to face. 
The youthful toiler at my side feels none 
Of this. He longs for glory and a name; 
And shrinks not, though his task has first begun, 
In climbing up the steep ascent for fame. 
And to his sight, from out the distance streams 
A glory-light, like that of many fires, 
And a strong feeling, deep within him, seems 
To raise him up to all that ho aspires. 
A golden halo wraps his form in light, 
And floats around him like an atmosphere; 
And guardian angels pass before his sight, 
And beckon on to higher flights from here. 
How thrills his heart—how quick its pulses beat, 
As up the rugged pathway he ascends. 
And sees the golden-pointed turrets meet 
The skies of fame—at which his journey ends. 
Then from the distant altitude surveys 
The slow ascent of pilgrims toiling there; 
And, like a stoic, calmly feels that days 
Are few, since he too toiled up stair by stair. 
And yet it was for no emoluments, 
Like hero-tributes of the camp and field, 
That bore him on, through doubt and discontents, 
To heights unknown and oft-times unrevealed. 
’Twas but the humble wish to rise above 
These earthly aspirations and desires; 
And teach the heart the worth of human love, 
Which longs for sympathy as it aspires.

There is a spot of earth spremeiy blest, 
A dearer, sweeter, than all the rest; 
Where man, creation’s tyrant, casts aside 
His sword and sceptre, pageantry and pride, 
While in his softened look benignly blend 
The sire, the son, the husband, father, friend. 
Here woman reigns; the mother, daughter, wife, 
Strews with fresh flowers the narrow way of life; 
In the clear heaven of her delightful eye, 
An angel guard of loves and graces lie; 
Around her knees domestic duties meet. 
And fireside pleasures gambol at her feet. 
Where shall that land, that spot of earth be found ? 
Art thou a man ? a patriot ? look around: 
Oh, thou shalt find, howe’er thy footsteps roam, 
That land thy country, and that spot thy home.
