The chrysalis . n be cursed by man? Tell me, I pray ye, if you can; Ye, who have watched our little earth. And known us from remotest birth. Can surely light us to the day, And guide us to a better way. Is not the time approaching near. When every one who dwelleth here Shall turn away from self, and be A worker for eternity ? For this we hope, for this we pray. Light us, ye stars, along the way. THE CHBYSALIS 8U NOBLE DEEDS.

He did not sen-tence the prisoner to be hanged; He did not sentencehim to life imprisonment. He placed a mark upon him—a mark which has not been effaced to this day—andhe became an outcast, his own conscience maintain-ing his awful exile forever. Now, as then, this is theprice of capital crime. Another prisoner we read ofin the same Scriptures, Joseph by
