O N, on, in firm progression, sure and slow, 
More 'scorning hindrance, as ye meet it more ; 
Surmounting what ye cannot thorough go, 
And forcing what ye fail in climbing o’er ; 
Soon shall he gaze upon the bliss attained, 
And worth attainment four-fold as severe ; 
The glorious meed for zealous souls ordained, 
Shall shine upon you, palpable and clear. 
Charles T. Turner.

'jSfo spring, to bloom, to fade, 
w This is the sum of the laborious years : 
Life preludes death as laughter ends in tears : 
All things that God hath made 
Suffer perpetual change, and may not long endure. 
We alter day by day, 
Each little moment, as life’s current rolls, 
Stamps some faint impress on our yielding souls ; 
We may not rest or -stay 
Drifting on tides unseen to one dread goal and sure, 
Lew.s Morris.
