THE EVERY DAY ADVICE
THE REWARD Thy task may well seem overbard, Who scatterest in a thankless .soil Thy life as seed, with no reward Save that which Duty gives to Toil. Yet do they work: it shall succeed In thine or in another’s day; And if denied the Victor's meed, Thou shall not lack the Toiler’s pay, Then faint not, falter not, nor plead Thy weakness; Truth itself is strong: The lion’s strength, the eagle’s speed, Are not alone vouchsafed to wrong. —-T. C. Whittier. * * * * Reading without purpose is sauntering not exercise. More is got from one book on which the thought settles for a definite end in knowledge, than from libraries skimmed over by a wandering eye. A cottage; flower gives honey to the bee, a king’s garden none to the butterfly. —Bulwer Lytton. -X- -X- -X- * Calamity never leave us where it finds us. It either softens or hardens the heart. /
