THE PALLADIA CELEBRATION.
-FORMA MENTIS AETERNA EST."
PROEH.
This is our festal day. Here let us gather
Singing our greeting.
Here let us welcome those shadowy mem'ries;
Visions so Ileeting,
Seeming to call and beckon us backward
While we are speeding.

Hearken their greeting!
"On!" they cry, "On ward! Stay not in thy

Tracing our way.

Storms you must weather;
We can but cheer you as onward you go,
Striving together "
