"WHAT I DO THOU KNOWEST NOT NOW; BUT THOU SHALT KNOW HEREAFTER."—JOHN xiii. 7.

The wings of Time are black and white,
Pied with morning and with night.
Mountain tall and ocean deep
Trembling balance duly keep.
The lonely Earth amid the balls
That hurry through the eternal halls,
Makeweight flying to a void—
Compensatory asteroid.—(EMERSON).
