POETRY.
YOUTH AND OLD AGE.

The tolO1ping beautiful lines are fran the psn Of
Henry 81. George Tucker, Of Virginia.
Days of my youth ye have glded away;
Hairs of my youth ye are frosted and grey;
Eyes ofmy youth your keen sight is no more
Cheeks of my youth ye are furrowed all DER /;
Strength of my youth all your vigor is gomez
Thoughts of my youth! your gay visions are
flown.
Days of my youth l wish not your recall;
Hairs ofmy youth Pmcontent you should fall
Eyes of my youth ye much evil have seen;
Cheeks Of my youth bathed in tears have we
been;
Strength ofmy youth why lament your decay
Thoughts of my youth! ye have led me astray.
Days ofmy age we will shortly be past;
Pains of my age yet while ye can last;
Joys of my age. in true wisdom delight;
Eyes of my age be religion your light;
Thoughts of my age! dread not the cold sod
Hopes Of my age! be fixed on your God

sirous of travelling this way, will please to fol-
low these directions
