PISGAH SIGHTS,

Over the ball of it,

Peering and prying, How I ace all of it,

Life there, outlying! Roughness and smoothness,

Shine and defilement, Grace and uncouthness---

Que reconcilement.

Orbed an appolated,

Sister with brother Joine, ne'er disjointed Ons from the other! All'a lond and borrow;

Good, see, wants ovil, Joy demands sorrow, Angel needs dovil!

Which things must-why be?"

Vain our endeavour!" So shall things aye be As they were ever, "Such tbloge should so be 1”

Bage our deaistenco ! Rough smooth let globe be, Mixed-man's existence!

Man-wise and foolish,

Lover and scorner, Docile and mulish-

Keep each his corner! Roney yet gall of it!

There's the life lying, And I see all of it

Only, I'm dying.

ONLY ONCE,

Only once J Only once a sinless infant Laughing on the anther's kace, Wondering eyes, like Eden mirrors, Shadowed by no fears to be j Tender, loving, and beloved, On the border of the sea.

Only once I

Only once in reckless boyhood, Careless of all future care, Borrows light as April showere, Bold eye-glance and tangled hair; Trustful, truthful, hopeful, fearless, Hand and heart to do and dare..

Only once

Only once in budding manhood, Learning's perils past and gone, Every hope of honour gilded

With the honours hardly won, Heart high beating, love's light flashing, O'er the path of life begun.

Only once!

Only once to boar the burden, Manhood's pride and woman's care, Children's love and home's sweet sorrows, Toila and trials none can share, Grimly fighting life's stern battle, Furrowed cheeks and fading hair.

Only once!

Only once, to end the story, Life's long moments swiftly past, Wonry eyelids close in slumber, Weary limbs seek rest at last, Beed-time ripens into harvest, Harvest in the garnor cast
