But ah ! it takes courage aiul paticuce | Against, its .current to ride; 1 And , , we must have strength , from .. Heaven „ When rowing 1 against the tide. We may float on the river’s surface While our oar's scarce touch the And visions of early glory On our dazzling sight may gleam; We forget that on before us The dashing torrents roar, And, while we are idly dreaming, Its waters will carry us o’er. But a few—ah, would there were many!— llow up the “stream of life; ’ They struggle against its surges, And mind neither toil nor strife, Though weary and faint with labor, Singing, triumphant they ride; For Crist is the hero’s Captain When rowing against the tide. Far on through the hazy distance, Like a mist on a distant shore, They sec the walls of a city, With its banner floating o’er. Seen through a glass so dandy They almost mistake their way; But faith throws light on their labor, When daiKuess shuts out their day. Ami shall we be one of that number Who mind no toil nor pain ! Shall we mourn the loss of earthly joys When we have a crown to gain ? Or shall we glide on with the river, With death at the end of our ride, While ourbrother,with heaven before him Is rowing against, the tide ? Her First Sorrow.

After a few weeks, invitation came to the farm for a party to bo held at the “Hall.” “Shall you go,“little one?” question¬ ed her father.
