Learned by all thinkers, then Proclaimed by them to men, Her mission o'er, she vanished 'neath the sea. The axiom of "Man, know thyself" is worth The pains it costs to learn, E'en through long labours stern, Since 'tis the key that opes rich joys on earth. Pure knowledge entereth through struggles fierce, And only to the few Who sternly seek the true, Is given to solve the mystery of the Sphynx. * * * * * UP, SISTERS, MORN IS BREAKING. Up, sisters! morn is breaking

Over the mountains grey, As, borne on silvered pinions, She ushers in the day. She comes, and at her bidding The empress of the night, And starry hosts of heaven, Veil their supernal light. Scarce has their empire ended, O'er the awakening earth, When morning, fresh and joyous, With dewdrops clad comes forth. And now the great sun's chariot, Led by the rosy hours, Sweeps through the heavens proudly, And o'er fond nature towers. The grand, majestic sun-god, Pavilioned is on high, And throned in golden splendour He reigns o'er earth and sky. Dispersing gloom and sadness, Giving to all new birth,
