COMMENCEMENT DAY. "Save needless words, keep back the tear; BY MINNIE B. WOLLF. I go the way that all must go, Kind friends, dear parents,let me say ; Prepared to reap what I did sow. Welcome to Commencement Day! ; But once again my mind returns We thank you for your presence here, | To other days. With ardor burns For your applause, your goodly cheer, | My heart, until I feel as young And if we please—as sure we must— I As when a boy T worked and sung You too will feel content we trust. | From then till now I've lived content, Commencement Day! can this be true, Prepared to think all things well meant. With school days am I really through? Why feel 'tis false instead of true, I fee! as proud, I feel as old, Before conviction's brought to you? As hnd a century o'er me rolled, To borrow trabble leads to harm. And yet I think, and as I think To make your breast a thriving farm My spirits high begin to sink : Of all the thrusts you may receive, Our chain so bright will break to day, Is wrong, and only makes you grieve. The links will part,—some drop away Forget the failings of your friend : To find a place in larger bands 'Twill bring them quicker to an end; If not right here, in other lands. For evil is led on by wrong, Hut never will they match as well, Revenge is but an idle song. In bliss harmonious ne'er will dwell You must not think that all is peace; As here they lived in peace content, Until your heart to bsat will cease Their joyous hearts on learning bent. Small clouds sometimes will shade your way, We look behind ! all seems so clear; But makes the sun more bright next day. Our paths made smooth by parents dear, What would our world be without rain Directions given to till the mind To feed the plants, to wet the lane? With useful knowledge by teachers kind. What would our souls be without cave ? We hail today ! We say good-bye, Could pleasure th en and now compare? And through our joy breaks forth the sigh Child! of the Past think not too much, With which we take our mournful leave The future you can never touch. From that for which we e'er shall grieve. Act in the present with a will, We look ahead ! To some 'tis bright; j And God will help you o'er life's hill." To others all is dark as night.
