The love that lived through all the stormy past, And meekly with my harsher nature bore,
And deeper grew, and tenderer to the last, Shall it expire with life, and be no more?
Experience proves that the apprentice foreshadows the workman, just as surely as the bend of a twig foretells the inclination of the tree. The upright, obedient, industrious lad will graduate a steady, skillful, and capable man, as unmistakably as the perverse, idling, oareless boy will ripen into the lazy, dissolute fellow. The fact is, a boy is measurably the maker of his own destiny; and if he fail to acquire a master-knowledge of the trade to which he is put, it will mainly be because he did not at the outset determine to be a master-workman. Good morals and steady industry are indispensable. Among the business habits that are highly valued in the apprentice are punctuality, order, neatness and dispatch. The boy who is promptly at his work in the morning soon wins the esteem of his employer. The lad who keeps the shop and store in a neat and orderly manner ere long becomes a valuable assistant, and the youth who, in addition to these qualifications, is active in the dispatch of business, is certain to make himself useful to those with whom he may engage- The boy should also recollect that ere long he may be called upon to fill the place of employer, if he is true to the trusts imposed upon him while an apprentice and employe. To attain the highest success as a tradesman and worthy citizen, he should not only form these correct, habits of business, but he should carefully cultivate and maintain a pure, untarnished morality; upon which rests all permanent happiness and success.
For I shall feel the sting of ceaseless pain,
If there I meet thy gentle spirit not; Nor hear the voice I love, nor read again,
In thy serenest eyes, the tender thought.

In meadows fanned by heaven's life-breathing wind,
In the resplendence of that glorious sphere, And larger movements of the unfettered mind,
Wilt thou forget the love that joined us here?

A happier lot than mine, and larger light, Await thee there; for thou hast bowed thy will
In cheerful homage to the rule of right, And lovest all, and renderest good for ill.

And wrath has left its scar - that fire of hell Has left its frightful scar upon my soul.

The same fair, thoughtful brow, and gentle eye, Lovelier in heaven's sweet climate, yet the same?
