The Louisville Journal pronounccs the folio,

The spring Of life is past,
With It's budding hopes and fears.
And the autumn time is coming
With Its weight of weary wears
Our joyOnsness is fading,
Our hearts are dimmed with care.
And youths fresh dreams of gladness
All perish darkly there.
While bliss was blooming near us
In the hearts first burst Of spring,
While many hopes could cheer us,
Life seemed glorious thing!
Like the foam upon river
When the breeze goes ripling DER.
These hopes have fled forever
To come to us no more!
IT'S sad--yet swect-to listen
TO the soft winds gentle swell,
And think we hear the music
Our childhood knew SO well
To gaze out on the even.
And the boundless fields of air,
And feel again our boyhood's wish
10 roam, like angels, there!
There are many dreams of gladness
That cling around the past.
And from that tomb of feeling
Old thoughts come thronging fast
