A PSALM OF LIFE (_continued from Page 7_)

Trust no future, howe'er pleasant!

Let the dead Past bury its dead!

Act, act in the living Present!

Heart within and G.o.d o'erhead!

Lives of great men all remind us, We can make our lives sublime, And, departing, leave behind us Footprints on the sands of time;

Footprints that perhaps another, Sailing o'er life's solemn main, A forlorn and s.h.i.+pwrecked brother, Seeing, shall take heart again.

Let us, then, be up and doing, With a heart for any fate; Still achieving, still pursuing, Learn to labor and to wait.

HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW.

TO TEACHERS. At this point a review of Chapter V, ”Proof-Reading” and Chapter VI, ”The Correction of Themes,” of _Practical English Composition_, Book I, will be found an invaluable exercise.
