Press on ! for it is godlike to unloose
The spirit, and forget yourself in thought ;
Bending a pinion for the deeper sky,
And, in the very fetters of your flesh,
Mating with the pure essences of heaven!
Press on !-"for in the grave there is no work
And no device."-- Press on! while yet you

may !

With winged sandals shod,
The angels come, and go, the Messengers of

g. LONGFELLOW— Footsteps of Angels. The good one, after every action closes His volume, and ascends with it to God. The other keeps his dreadful day-book open Till sunset, that we may repent; which doing, The record of the action fades away, And leaves a line of white across the page. Now if my act be good, as I believe, It cannot be recalled. It is already Sealed up in heaven, as a good deed accom

plished. The rest is yours. h. LONGFELLOW-Christus, The Golden

WILLIAM BASSE- The Angler's Song.
In genial spring, beneath the quivering shade,
Where cooling vapors breathe along the

I shall stay him no longer than to wish

The Author's Preface. Thus use your frog: put your hook, I mean the arming wire, through his mouth, and out at his gills, and then with a fine needle and silk sew the upper part of his leg with only one stitch to the arming wire of your hook, or tie the

frog's leg above the upper joint to the armed wire ; and in so doing use him as though you loved him. b. WALTON—The Complete Angler. Pt. I.

Ch. V. We may say of angling as Dr. Boteler said of strawberries : “Doubtless God could have made a better berry, but doubtless God never did;" and so, if I might be judge, God never did make a more calm, quiet, innocent re. creation than angling. WALTON— The Complete Angler. Pt. I.
