Biterature. TO-DAY AND TO-MORROW.

BY GERALD MASSEY.

High hopes that burned like stars sublime Go down tne Heaven of Freedom; And true hearts perished in the time We bitterliest need them ! But never sit we down and say There’s nothing left but sorrow ; We walk the wilderness to-day, The promised land to-morrow.

Our birds of song are silent now, There are no flowers blooming ! Yet life beats in the frozen bough, And Freedom's spring is coming! And Freedom's tide comes up alway, Though we may stand in sorrow ; And our good Larque, a-ground to-day, Shail float again to-morrow.

Through all the long, dark nights of years, The people’s ery ascendeth,

And the earth is wet with blood and tears; But our meek suffrance endeth !

The few shell not forever sway, The many toil in sorrow ;

The powers of earth are strong to-day, But heaven shall rule to-mo:row.

Though hearts brood o’er the past, our cyes With smiling features g!isten !

For Jo! our day bursts up the skies ; Lean out your souls and listen !

The world rolls Freedom’s radiant sway, And ripens with her sorrow ;

Keep heart! who bear the cross to-day Shall wear the crown to-morrow.

On! Youth! flame earnest, shall aspire, With energies immortal !

To many a haven of desire, Our yearning opes a portal !

And though age wearies by the way, And hearts break in the furrow,

We'll sow the golden grain to-day— And harvest comes tu-morrow.

Build up heroic lives, and all Be like a sheathen sabre,

Ready to flash out at God's eall, Oh, chivalry of labor !
