BE OF GOOD CHEER.
_______s>— «p ip «*—«*- THOUGHT. All, messenger, art thou tlie king, or IP Thon dalliest outsde the palace gate Till on thine idle arm lie the late And heavy dews. The morn’s bright scornful eye Reminds thee: then in subtle mockery, Thou smilest at the window where I wait, Who bade the© ride for life. Tn empty state Mv days go on, while false hours prophesy, Thy quick return; at last, in sad despair, I cease to bid thee, leave thee free as air; When 10, thou stand’st before me glad and fleet, And lay’st undreamed-of treasures at my tfeet, Ah! messenger, thy royal blood to buy lam too poor. Thou are the king, not I. —H. IT. Jackson. * * * * A man’s character is like a fence—it cannot be strengthened by whitewash.
