Some of our acts might be eulogized, others had been better left undone, and much have we failed to do that would have helped to make us memorable. For a moment, 'we may lament these lost opportunities, letting this brief glance over the past give us added determination to strive to achieve in the future. We have come up through the hills, our work having been to make the most of each day's little journey, to go quickly up the gentle slopes, gradually gathering strength and self confidence, learning how best to meet and conquer the mountains. iNow they lie before us. Now comes the test. Now may we show the world that our sojourn among the hills has been a blessing and an inspiration. There can be no blemish on our future unless we place it there with our consent. There will be no honor for us in the future unless we dedicate our lives to the highest ideals that have ever lead men to the heights. Shall we ascend the mountains and reach those heights in all their wonder and their glory? l hear some eighty voices answer, Yesl lt is that ery, yout'h's promise to achieve, that the world honors, that the world eulogizes.

Why didn't you write me you were coming, father? I haven't heard from you since I wrote home announcing our engagement. How does it happen that you dropped in this way, so unexpeetedly?, What's the matter? Isn't everybody well PM Sure, boy, sure, replied Silas, All the folks are well, but I just came down to help you arrange the wedding. Thats all. DANA KIQICCII, ,I4. 'N' Ghz mountain A veil of rose tinge spreads its splendor O'er the mountain's hoary top, And a valley lies in grandeur, Rich in vines of grape and hop, At the mighty monarch's feet. A haze of pale mist shrouds the mountain, And the stately pines bend low, And the waters of a fountain Ripple gleefully as they How, At the mighty monareh's feet. A waste of desert Hings its vastness Near the mountain's massive base, And a forest spreads its fastness Close beside this arid space, At the mighty monarch's feet. Yet the veil of rose-tinged splendor. An-d the mist of richest dew, Equal not the simple grandeur of the mountain's purple hue, Nor the forest's awful fastness, Nor the desert's awesome length, Rival quite the sovereign vastness Of the mon'areh's mighty strength.
