i BY REV. NEWTON HEsToN


Think not that this world will always be bright,
Nor thy pathway be meier clouded with night;
False are its lights, and delusive its charms!
And hope, like roses, may fade in thy arms!
Think not that sorrow will ne'er sadden thy heart
And love with its fire ne'er from thee depart;
The stream that's now smooth will ruffed become,
As thou passest away from youth and its home!
ms IS the network of mans chequered day
The pleasures of earth will soon pass away!
But there Is pure cline where change is ne'er


known, u4e 3
And happiness reigns triumphant alone.
Q! in that bright land thy spirit may dwell,
And thy voice with rapture its choruses SWELL
While light, life and joy thy person surround,
And fowerets carpet that heavenly ground
O. then, may thy purpose be firm in the Lord
Thy heart with the joys Of religion be stored;
And, as in great triumph thy Savior appears
He'll take thee away from this valley of tears
Mid the brightness and joy, and splendor of heayD,
To thee scarlet-wreathed crown shall be given!
Then upward creation thy spirit shall rise,
And gaze on the plains Of the star-sprinkled skies

ceipt in full Of all demands and after little
rumination he added Aye, and would send
him, moreover, five pounds to cover all possible
COSTS
