THE YEARS FAREWELL

II comes, through he wintry night,
A deep and solemn srrain
Like The voi.e of the di>tant torrents might,
Or the moan CT The sleepless main;
But wild is the music OF wind-woke strings,
10 lis lar ano ftiul swell,
And swift as the passage OF eagle wings,
Is tue flying Years farewell.
II floats Ger the faded fields,
Where the reapsrs' joy hath been,
With The song OF praise which the peasant yield
For The harvesls he hath seen;
Bul the song grows sad on The bate-pan
OF the Brahmin's sun-lt shore.
For it tells OF The eyes that look 10 vain
For the loved tina. come no more.
Il sweeps through the ancient woods
Through The ruins vast and din,
By the shadowy paths Of The forest foods,
BY the desert fountains brim;
And it wakes The tones which The wilderness
Hath long in her silence shrined,
The echoes OF far forgotten days,
That have left no race behind.
Il rings through the crowded marts
Or the old worlds wealth and power,
And il winds its way 10 their weary hearts
10 the hush OF the dreamy hour;
To the young il speaks oil their future springs,
With the breez=s binhe and bland,
But it tells The aged OF better things,
10 The far uniadins land.
And il Tells OF The deserts crossed,
OF The fair forsaken ground, ,o.,
OfIhe pleasant streams which The heart nam ios''
And the hidden fountains louno;
For il speaks OF the rock before US cleh,
When its shadow darkly fsll
And blessed lesson OF hope IS ie'
By The dying Years farewell.

A man about 10 leave this earth

Conditioned by this codicii:
That il a son Inc madam bore,

Without deduction Or demur.
But II daughter came TO light,
Two-lhirds were then the mddam's right.
And then 20 sum il in word
The lutte girl was lett The third.
But women always have their way,
No matter what The men may saw
For when arrived the expected morn,
A son and daughter 6oth were born.
And when the lacy kissed her wins,
And smiled 10 see their ugly grins,
Her lawyer TO her presence came,
And said, | know you are to blame,
You've lost twelve thousand dollars more
Than il a g,rl you'd only bore.
Pray now some cyphenng genius tell,
