NOW OR NEVER.

Now or never, now or never,
Let the maxim ne'er depart!
'Tis the watchword that for ever
Should inspire each manly heart;
For if justice must be render'd
On the wrong that's done to thee,
That no malice be engender'd,
Now or never let it be !

Now or never-why to-morrow?
If the deed is good to-day,
There may lurk an age of sorrow,
In the hour that's thrown away!
It is better to be doing,

For the future who can see?
And delay may lead to ruin-

Now or never let it be!

HAVE FAITH IN ONE ANOTHER.
Music at Z. T. Purday's.

HAVE faith in one another, when ye meet in friend[throb the same; For a true friend is a brother, and his heart should Though your paths in life may differ, since the hour when first ye met,

AN HONEST HEART TO GUIDE US.

S. LOVER.-Music at Campbell's.

As day by day

We hold our way

Through this wide world below, boys,
With roads to cross,

We're at a loss

To know which way to go, boys;
And choice so vex'd,

When man's perplex'd,

And many a doubt has tried him,
It is not long

He'll wander wrong

With an honest heart to guide him.

When rough the way,

And dark the day,

More steadfastly we tread, boys,
Than when by flowers

In wayside bowers

We from the path are led, boys.
Oh! then, beware!

The serpent there

Is gliding close beside us!

'Twere death to stay,
So speed the way,

With an honest heart to guide us,

If Fortune's gale
Should fill our sail,

While others lose the wind, boys,
Look kindly back
Upon the track

Of luckless mates behind, boys.
If we won't heed

A friend in need,
May rocks ahead abide us!

Let's rather brave

Both wind and wave,

With an honest heart to guide us!

PERSEVERANCE, OR TRY AGAIN. (Tune-" Duncan Grey.")

W. E. HICKSON.

'Tis a lesson you should heed,
Try, try, try again;

If at first you don't succeed,
Try, try, try again.
Then your courage should appear,
For if you will persevere,

You will conquer, never fear,
Try, try, try again.

Once or twice tho' you should fail,

Try, try, try again;

If you would at last prevail,

Try, try, try again.

If we strive, 'tis no disgrace,

Though we may not win the race; What should you do in that case ? Try, try, try again.

If you find your task is hard,

Try, try, try again:

Time will bring you your reward,
Try, try, try again.
