comes not back again; wisely improve the present-it is thine; go forth to meet the shadowy future without fear" (LONGFELLOW). Be - of those of whom it may be said: He was "no wailer before ills, one mindful in all he did to think how his work to-day would live in to-morrow's tale." To get on, men must work, must have an object in their work, must love their work, feeling that it makes them happy and independent; proud of being a worker, and not a drone; a lover of freedom, therefore resolved to be worthy of being free; a hater of tyranny-of being interfered with; the prosperity of the commonwealth based upon the success of individual efforts; the object of all, a social state in which deep poverty and degrading want shall be unknown, and men have the opportunity for intellectual and moral development. We must raise the status of the poorer class, improve their individuality, give them a higher character, and thus prepare the way for a well-working humanity, that should result in well-working institutions. We must regenerate the entire social fabric, through the working of juster laws, purer aims, nobler instincts-through individual co-operation of the many, as one, in contributing, to the welfare of all.

" What is our duty here?
So to live, that when the sun
Of our existence sinks in night,
Memorials sweet of mercies done
May shrine our names in memory's light;
And the blest seeds we scattered bloom
A hundredfold in days to come." - BOWRING.
