AT THE OFFICE OF
THE .TEFJ?FSSe:VSAI,
While 'tis Day-timo let us Work.
Ercry mortal has his mission.
In this world of active strife,
Whether in a high position,
Or a lowly walk of life.
He it is, who now fulfilling
Every duly day by day.
Shows the mind and spirit willing
To perform its upward way.
Life's a bark upon the ocean,
Tossed and rocked hy every gale;"
Nor scuds on with speedy motion,
Nor with rent and tattered sail.
Life's a bright and sunny morning.
With some light refreshing showers,
Followed by a dark cloudy warning
Of the Etorm that o'er us lowers,
Life's the chord of silver, bindiii"
Man in contact with his kind,
Death is but that bond unwinding1,
Setting free the earth bound mind.
Life's the pitcher of the fountain,
Whence immortal rills descend;
'Tis the fragile wheel sermounting
Cistern where pure waters blend.
Life's the day for deed and action,
Death's the rest, the time is night;
He who works with satisfaction,
Works while vet the hour is light .
Forward then, the day is waning,
Westward sinks the setting sun;
Onward ! on! without complaining
Work while yet it may be done.

whose singularities have gained for him
so great a reputation, and whose popular
