A. I'SALM OF LIFE.
Henry W. Longfellow.
Tell me not in mournful numbers .
Life Is but an empty dream,
For the soul Is dead that slumbers,
And things are not what they seem.
Life is real, life Is earnest,
And the grave Is not its goal,
"Dust thou art to dust returnest,"
Was not spoken of the soul.
Not enjoyment and not sorrow
Is our di:tlned end or wav.
But to ai:t that eac tomorrow
Kinds us farther than today.
Art Is long and time is fleeting,
And our hearts though stout and braw,
Still like muffled drums are beating
funeral marches to the grave.
In the world's brrmd field of battle,
In the bivouac of life.
Be not like dumb driven cattle!
Bo a hero in the sirli'e! J
Trust no "future, howe'er pleasant!
Let the dead past bury lta dead!
Act act In the living present!
lleait within and God o'erhead!
Uvea of great men all remind us
We can make our lives sublime,
And departing leave behind us
Footprints on the sands of time.

Sailing o'er life's solemn main,

Learn to labor and to wait.
