Sleep on , my heart , in peace ! May no sad dreams affright thee ; Way faith ' s strong arm uphold ; And fadeless hope delight thee ! Sleep on , my heart , in pence ! And when grim death shall take thee From this dark world of care , May God in liea \' n awake thee ! —J . KlNQSTOK

FOLLOW THE TRUTH .
Follow the Truth throughout thy life , - The straight path never leaving ; Remember life must have an end—Be not thyself deceiving . The kindness thou to others show ' st . To thee shall ne'er he lost ; But if in wrong thou dost engage ,
"Twill be to thine own cost . In dealing with thy fellow-men , Ever to them be true ; KeVr let thy eyes be turned away From the Heaven thou hast in view . OfUimes trials passing strong Will assail thy moral strength ;
Resist them , and thoirlt surely find , Prosperity at length . And e ' en in times of grievous woe , When other ' s strength might fail ; Thy conscience shall thy heart uphold , Nor aught shall countervail . And when life's journey waxeth long , And thy waning powers decrease ; How happily thy life shall end , For thee shall death bring peace .
