[gm Thé following lines by John G. Baxe,” Fsq., have been pronounced sublime in thought and elegant in expression : SPES EST VATES. ‘There is a dogma of the ancient sages :—~ No noble human thought, However buried in the dust of ages, Can ever come to nought. ‘With kindred faith, that knows no base dejection, Beyond the sages’ scope I see, afar, the final resurrection Of every glorious hope ! I see, as parcel of a new creation, The beatific hour When every bud of lofty aspiration Shall blossom into flower ! We are not mocked ; it was not In derision God made our spirits free ; Our brightest hopes are but the dim pre-vision Of blessings that shall be! When they, who lovingly have hoped and trusted, Despite some transient fears, Shall see Life's jarring elements adjusted, And rounded into spheres!
