LABOUR.

Ho! ye who at the anvil toil, And strike the sounding blow, Where, from the burning iron’s breast, The sparks fly to and fro! While answering to'the hammer’s rine, And fire’s intenser glow— X Oh! while ye feel ’tis hard to toil And sweat the long day through, Remember, it is harder stil] To have no work to do.

Ho! ye who till the stubborn soil, Whose hard hand guides the plough, Who bend beneath the summer sun, With burning cheek and brow— Ye deem the curse still clings to earth From olden time till now; But while ye feel ’tis hard to toil, And labour all day through, Remember, it is harder still To have no work to do.

Ho! ye who plough the sea’s blue field— Who ride the restless wave—

Beneath whese gallant vessel’s kee] There lies a yawning grave ;

Around whoes bark the wintry winds, Like fiends of fury rave—

Oh! while ye feel ’tis hard to toil, And labour long hours through,

Remember, it is harder still ‘To have no work to do.

lio! ye upon whose fevered cheeks The hectic glow is bright,

Whose mental toil wears out the day, And half the weary night—

Who labour for the souls of men, Champions of truth and right;

Although you feel your toil is hard, Even with this glorious view,

Remernber, it is harder still ‘'o have no work to do.

Ho! all who labour—all who strive-- Ye wield a lofty Power :

Do with your might—do with your strength—

Fill every golden hour!

The glorious privilege to do, Is man’s most noble power,

Oh! to your birthright and yourselves, To your own souls be true!

A weary, wretched life is theirs, Who have no work to do.
