why flies the time SO fast
Das q, months. and years glide by,
Md each looks shorter than the last,
And swifier seems TO fly
On yiewles wing still rushing on,
10 Join the flight OF ages gone.
li.sestned, when we were young,
Time fingered on the way,
Fair hope, like any syreti, sums
The liye-loug simmer day
oh sweetiy sung Of promised bliss,
Too bright for such a world as this
Too beautiful 10 siay,
And then The winter night,
SO lively and no long
When round The Preside, blazing bright,
Went merriment and song
Long were The hoiirs-4for we were then
Impatient 10 be happy nett
And Join the btsssy thfong.
%frope's radiance Ia the heart,
In youth supretnely blest,
Can transitory Joys impart,
The brightest and the best,
The Ills Of life come oil too soon;
And why should clouds obscure the moon
That warns the youthful breasts
When life's young dream Is DER,
And tapcy's fires decay,
Aud hopes Illusions charm no more,
Nor chile the lingering day
Then Time sweeps "a with winged speed,
Or Ike d thief, with noiseless tread,
Steals OIL our years away.
Fled like q drcan's the past,
The Joyous banquet Ger,
Our longing looks we backward cast,
And thint on iaysaf yore.
Brood Ger each scene In JOY or woe,
Til we grow old-heiore re know
Thut we are young 40 more.

at the breakfast table this morning, at the request
Of my better half Now, happen TO be new.
ly married man and as the approaching is the
first New-Year day in my history Of housekeep-
ing ] would like to have you state for my bene-
fit as well as for the benefit Of others situated like
me- what substitute can be placed on the table for
wine which will not subject US to the sneers Of
our friends and acquaintance. Would you give
YOUR visitors some sickening lemonade, or a little
compounded trash known as cordial l-or
would you give them nothing al al, but piece
ofcake or perhaps a shank of ham and bread The
effect Of drinking liquors on New-fet-s day
depore as much as you or any body else but
would like TO know what can decentlV-ah, that's
the rub-be put in their place 1t will not do to
say that people do not make calls for the purpose
of stufing themselves with everything deemed
luxury whether that be their object or not, 1t
is presumed that you will have such things as
custom sanctions on the table. Besides, young
ladies who expect their gentlemen acqualntain
ces to call upon them however much they desplse
the use Oh liquor, wish TO have something to offer
which will be acceptable. A TRIBUNE READER.
If A Tribune Reader deems it die
tate of hospitality to give his friends what
he esteems dangerous poison, from fear
that they will misapprehend his motive for
RETAINING, we can only say that he has
read The Tribune to very little purpose.
We try to teach our readers to do right
first, and consider what will be thought of
it afterward, if ever.
But if our Reader feels obliged to
offer his friends something more than a
warm hearth and hearty welcome, let
his wife prepare generous, smoking urn
of cocoa Tor coffee, if he considers that
harmless beverage, as we do not and offer
a nourishing bowl to all who come. If
they don't take any, it will be proof that
they are not dry. Ed.
