POETRY
TO TUOfcE WHO FAIL. Courpg.i, brave htjiit, nor in thy purpose falter; G i on and win the fight at any cost. Though sick and weary after the hard conflict^ St joice to know the battle is not lost. The field is or en still to those brave spirits Who nobly straggle ill the strife is done, Through saa and storm with courage all undaunted. Working and waiting till the battle's Tne fairest peat Is are fomd indeepo.t waters, The brightest jewels in the darkest mine;
And through the very blackest hoar of midnight, . , The star of hope dotb ever brightly shine. Press on ! press on! the path is steep and The storm clouds almost hide Hope'B l'ght from view; But 50U can pass where other feet have trodden — A few more steps may bring you safely through. The battle o'er, a victor crowned with honors — By pstienfc toil each difficulty past. Ton then may see these days of bitter failure gut spurred you on to greater deeds at last
