PILGRIMS. 815 their home the good news of the success the mission had met with in raising good crops and in having maintained peace with the Indians.

(to be concluded in OCTOBER NUMBER.) PILGRIMS. There's but the meagre crust, Love, There's but the measured cup; On scanty fare we breakfast, On scanty fare we sup. Yet be not thou discouraged, Nor falter on the way, Since Wealth is for a life, Love, And Want is for a day. Our shelter may be rude. Love; We feel the chilling dew And shiver in the darkness Which steadfast stars shine through, Yet shall we reach our palace, And there in daylight stay, Since Home is for a life, Love, And Travel for a day. The heart may sometimes ache, Love, The eyes grow dim with tears; Slow creep the hours of sorrow, Slow beats the pulse of fears. Yet, patience with the evil, For though the good delay. Yet Joy is for a life. Love, And Pain is for a day. Collier's Weekly.
