And where our weary feet 'mong brandies stray d, And sorely in our anguish we were iried. .Stern duty was our motto, and we sought To tread the narrow path, and trust m God Braving life's battles though with perils fraught, And bowing meekly 'neath the chastening rod. And brighter grew the way as years rolled on, And light beam'd up where all around was dark, And well we deem'd it that some toil was done K'en though accomplished by a glim'ring spark.

"Does love forget all it forgives?" once said The fair young Greek, who sadly learned to inow, Though much we love, we ne'er forget a blow. The scar itself rgmains, though pain is dead, - , And was forgiven when the wound wasred. True love remembers, but forbears to show The hand that only should caress bestow, The hand that to sweet waters should have led. The perfume that in flower unconscious lives, The light that paints to tints the dullest forms, Are not more subtle than the love that warms The human heart. From Him who much forgives It comes. A gift divine, a touch as yet OT perfect love that needs not to forget. Woman's Journal, " Vice-Preside- t tion." quorum for the transaction of business. ;jjjEL-fit- REGRET. Oh, that word regTet There have been "nights and morns when we have sighed "Let us alone, regret I We are content , To throw thee all our past, so thou wilt sleep For aye,,, But it is patient, and it wakes: It hath not learned to cry itself to sleep, But 'plaineth on the bed that it is hard. We did amiss when we did wish it gone, And over. Sorrows humanize our race; Tears are the showers that fertilize this world; And memories of things precious keepeth warm The heart that once did hold them. They are poor Who have lost nothing; ' they are poorer far Who, losing, have forgotten; they most poor . Of allhoJoK andwishjhey. -,- . . For life is one, and in its warp and woof There runs thread of gold that glitters fair And sometimes in the pattern shows roost sweet Where there are somber colors. It is true That we have wept. But oh, this thread of gold. We would not have it tarnish; let us turn Oft and look back upon the wondrous web, " 't And when it shineth sometimes we shall know That memory is possession. ,. 1 VV.
