LIFE'S PHILOSOPHY.
Do not hurry ! do not flurry ! Nothing good is got by worry. Bide tlid hour to make the spring ! Take life easy ; that's the thin?. Do not trouble, do not trouble ! Heavy hearts make toiling double, Groans the back with loaded pain ? Laugh, and 'twill grow light again. Do not sorrow, do not sorrow ! Grief to-day is joy to-morrow. Life flown smoothly after fears ; Eyes shine brightest washed with tean. HrirJc the children, hark tho voices ! Somewhere ererything rejoices. Blasts without of winter ring, Yet inward mirth make* endless Spring. Soon from elms will rooks be cawing, Youcg lambs be leaping, old folk thawing ; Soon with a sunny April dawn Will daisies bright bedeck the lawn. Forward, then, to victory straining ! Forward, as brave men, uncomplaining ! The game's a foot, and here's the ball ; Yonder the gonl ; on comrades all ! India, Ireland ? Brood not o'er them ! Church and state ? Fight, fear not for them ! Statesmen baffled, leaders lost ? Yet, courage, friends ! God leads our host ! Good gathers strength, and lo ! the powers Of darkness yield. Tho days is ours. Tho' cloud and tempest wrap the sky, Yet wakes behind the Eternal eye. Watching, wondering, yearning, knowing Whence the stream, and whero 'tis going Seems all mystery ? By and by He will speak and tell us why.
