THE OLD FAMILY BIBLE. Did you ever see the old family Bible That lay on the stand at the head of the bed To int whole page you'd scarcely be able, So oft in this volume my mother had read. At the elose of;he day. when the sun was de-
 clininS,
 Andthe sky all around looked rosy and red. There you would gee her cit quietly reading The old family Bible at the head of the bed. At morn as soon as ,he gay lark IS singing, Ere the sun peeps out from his bed' There you wilt see her sit quietly reading. In tA' old family Bible al the head of the bed. But fast. very fast, her eye-sight is failing. And soon the last glimmering ray will have
 fed,
 And she no longer to read will be able. The old family Bible 3, the head of the bed And as time glides along her strength too IS
 failing,
 And soon shs'll silently Sleer with the dead Su. long will we keep the old family Bible. fhssl lay on the SssOd as tAs head Sf the O"d'
