Q 1 LESSONS OF LIFE. Egg: :1 $rmmam. We have passed from out the portals, bright and gay, Of 0111' Alma Mater dear; And the weary toilsome studies of the day, And the things we used to fear. F1owns and rods we fondly hoped had passed away, Neve11'n01e to see 01 hear. 9 wage .6 eeegiew l As we stood there 011.1119 threshold, if we knew What the future had in store, We would Iind the words of wisdom were too true, That 0111' school-dnys were not oler; But that in the school of manhood j ust in view, We must. study evermore. Some of us. for ten 01' twenty years and more, I11 this harder, sterner school, Have our lessons connedemade failures as beforee- 0ft been late-against the rule, Had our whippings, frowm and lectures, trials sore- Sat upon the duoce's stool Father Time, a stern'old teacher, adding one, Makes six sehool-days in each week; From 0111' holida; s substracts he, and when done, Cares not: for the paling; cheek ; Multiplies 0111' daily burdens as we run, And divides the joys we seek. But these school- days will be ove1 by and bx , 0111' gleat Teachel then will call Each of us to stand before him in the sky To be judged; 0h, may we all Pass examination nnbly, and on high Welcome be to Heavelrs hall.
