"An olu man traveling a lone highway

Came at tne evening colci and grey

To a cnasm deep ana v. lue.

Tne olc man crossed in the twilight a in

The sullen stream had no rear for hiir ;

But he turned when sale on tne otner siae

And built a bridge to spar, the rushing tide.

"U±u man," aalu a fellow pilgrim near,

"You are wasting your strength in building here,

Your journey will end with tne ending cay,

Ana you never again will pass this v.ay.

You've crossed the cnasm deen end «iue,

Anc why Duilc you the bridge at eventide?"

'lne tuiiaer lifted his old grey head,

"C-ooc friend, in tne path I've come, ' he said,

"There foilowetr. alter me tocay

A youta whose feet must oass this way.

This cnasm tnat was naught to me

To that fair youth a pitfall may bej

He too must cross in fee twilight diir—

Gooo friend, 1 am traiiaing the oric.ge for nim'.—Unknown
