THINGS THAT MATTER
TIME. Time’s a han'dhreath ; ’tis a tale; Tis a vessel under sail; ’Tis an eagle on its way, Darting down upon its prey; ’Tis an arrow in its flight, Mocicing the pursuing light; ’Tis a short-lived, fading flower; ’Tis a rainbow in a shower; ’Tis a momentary ray Smiling on a winter’s day ; ’Tis a torrent’s rapid stream ; ’Tis a shadow; ’tis a dream , ’Tis the closing watch of night, Dying at the rising light; ’Tis, a bubble, ’tis a sigh— Be prepared, 0 man, to die. Quarles. * * * Make time, save time While time lasts; All time is no time When time is past. -X- -X- 5f XPrayer sends the* soul aloft, lifts it up above tin* clouds in which our selfishness and egotism befog ns and gives us a chance to see which way to steer.
