WEDNESDAY MORNING....,.January IS, 1868
FAITH, HOP£, AX£> TRUST.
BT COLt'MBOS PHEW.
When the wild storm o’er tlie ocean isswccplng,
Tossing the bark as a toy on its crest,
And the bravo sailor bis storm-watch ts keeping
With but a gleam of sweet hope in his breast;
And as ho battles the tempest around him,
Stands through the night where the morn he
hath stood,
True to the post where the tocsin-blast found
him,
E’en though the hope-gleam seem quenched
in the flood—
Triumph shall wait him—the billows shall never
Waft to the death-caves so noble a breast;
One little hope-gleam, o’er noble endeavor .
Shall blaze as the sun when the storm is at
rest.
Life’s way may be rough, and the wayfarer
meeting
Its sorrows for over while toiling along—
But list to the whisper throb in his heart beating:
“ The road may be rough, but my heart must
be strong. ’
Blessed Heart, throbbing thus with such stead
fast emotion!
The wing of a bird ever plumed for the light,
A gleam-catching wave in a storm-troubled
ocean—
A silver-capped cloud, coursing swift thro’
the uignt.
So strong In its Trust, in its purpose so holy,
’Twill win the far goal which hath Rest for
its name,
And though the bright summit be mastered but
slowly.
Still proudly the victor his guerdon shall
claim.
Though thick be the gloom where the sunlight
was beaming,
And blighted the field where the reaper took
rest,
And low lies the boy while the mother is
dreaming
Os hopes that wore crushed with the life in
her breast —
Our Trust may see light where the gloom hath
pervaded;
Our Faith greet the reaper again to his part;
And Faith, when delusions all transient have
faded,
Will give to that mother the child of her heart.
When heroes come back, after war’s desolation,
All blighted the hope of their peril and cost;
How norny as heroes again to their station,
New hopes they create for the ones they have
lost!
Restoring the hearthstone and shielding the
tender—
Companions of Trust and of Hope ever sweet;
Still duty lor ever a glory to render,
They live but to triumph anew in defeat.
Oh, Hope! as an Anchor, the weak in endeavor
Hold firmly, if noble the purpose they own!
If storms shake their faith, keep them steadfast
for ever,
And cast them not loose to the billows alone.
Oh, Faith! catch their glance—be the pole-star
to guide them,
Oh, Trust! be their Rock in the midst of life’s
sea!
If they but sustain, no protectors beside them,
In sunshine or tempest their helpers need be.
Oh, Rainbow of Promise, all beauteously
blended,
First seen when the floods were assuaged
from the world,
Thou mantle of Peace, oil o’er tempest de
scended,
Thou pennant from Heaven’s high rampart
unfurled.
When clouds fill the bosom, and hope seems to
waver,
Steal softly and compass the temptings to
wrong—
May we trust to tho promise, as faithful for ever,
And Faithful, and Trustful, and Hopeful—be
strong.

Opinion! of tho Press.
“Musical Festivals” several times postponed,
compelling purchasers of tickets to wait months
for the distribution, has im|>aired public confidence
n such affairs. Tho only fair system of distribu
tion is tho old and popular one of Sealed Tickets,
stating the prize, which will be delivered immedi
atcly, on payment of the one dollar. That is the
plaii of 11. BARTON & CO., at 599 Broadway,
the most attractive place of the kind now in oper
ation. They are doing the largest business, and
deserve their success. You can not draw a
$109,000 farm there, but have a reasonable chance
for u good prize, as we know many that lmvo been
drawn, and the firm is reliable. —Mornimr Adver
tiser, Oct. 25 th, 1867.
The New York Gift Company nre distributing
many valuable prizes. Wc lmvo examined tlioir
nmnner of doing hueiuess and know them to be a
fair dealing firm. Their plan is more satisfactory
than “Presentation Festivals,” as they draw every
day, and the snbseriher need not pay for the prize
drawn, unless snlted.— Gazette, Oet. 24 th, 1867.
The Gift establishment of 11. Barton A- Cos., at
599 Broadway, is daily attracting crowds of visi
tors to witness the drawing process. The invest
ment is bnt 33 oeals for the chance, nnd the prize
drawn, if satisfactory, is immediately delivered
for one dollar. A friend of ours, last week, drew
a SSOO prize, which ho promptly received.—Trans
enpt, ihpt. 29/A, 1867.
