NatiowalßcpabUcqtn Official City Paper. MRGEBT CITY CIRCULATION Official Organ of the U. S. Government. 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.
