himself Lorenzo Dow, jt, speaks Of himself in tins

of youthful ambition, moth eaten by time, grown
fmsy by age, and scratched 10 pieces by the cares,
disappointments and trials of vexatious world. I

blown into existence by the breath of Omnipotence
and expect to be blown out of it by puff from tho
same source When my old coat gives
evidence of decay, can get il secured and mended
a superanuated pair of boots can find renovation in
the lap Of cobbler; but when the body grows the
worse for wear, no mortal hand can rtay the de-
sruction. Time has used me pretty well, however.
considering the liberties I have sometimes taken
with it-It has gently brought me to the calm even
ing of my days, where e's second twilight gathers
round deepens, discloses the handwriting upon
the golden wall of the West "A fair to-morrorv
