Mr. Maxwell could tell from sad Office

Oh don't mind me, % on with your
writing, said she. Just Thought Il step
in on my way home from market. and tell
you what a miserably poor market there
was 10 day. To be sure Z went rather
late, but At this season OF the year one
ought to be able to get ALMOST anything
Strawberries KEEP very high set don't you
think so ? and those misera bic peas that
they pretend are Jersey Peas. rs If

Exactly the thought that came into

Children desire to reach their prime,
They hope for joys to come;
Waiting upon the wheels of time,
To give their pleasure room.
But youth in Wig rous life to-day,
Is as the rosy blown,
Whose beauty soon shall fade away
Before the rising dawn.
What thoughts and cares and trials here
Begin their rounds to run,
While disappointment gives a share
And rolls in by her turn
The aged talk CT youthful days,
And often fetch a sigh,
Speaking of times and woods and ways
The mem'ry brings them nigh
But later days and months and years,
They scarcely call to mind,
Filled with sorrows pains and tears
They let them lie behind.
Man, as his life progresses on
His care still multiplies,
So thousands who before have gone
Can tell your wishful eyes.
Prophets and kings and saints have told
The theue in evry age,
What numbers wrote in days of old
Behold the sacred page.
Then lovely youth remember well,
Thy great creator God,
Before experience owns and tells
Her griefs in aged blood
