aBerore my Hair wa. Gray.n

eTe ~ BY PARK BENJAMIN.
You bid me sing. oh lady bright,
Asong of other years;
There was an hour my heart was light.
My eyes unused to tears.
Ny voice had then no broken string,
And all its notes were gay
That was the time that | could sing,
Before my hair was gray.
Ny planets then were ladies eyes,
Their smiles my sunlight made;
But now no sun or planets rise,
And | am in the shade.
Then lovely lips sang songs for me,
And softly bade me stay
There was no lack of melody
Before my hair was gray.

INTERESTING TO THE B'HoYs!-The
Ohio Teachers Convention passed
the following resolution:
Resolved, That the evils OF truan-
cy in schools are of sufficient magni-
tude TO justify an application to the
State Legislature for the enactment
ofa penal statute to stop it.
Whereupon the wit OF the Cleve-
land Herald thus remarks
We think we see one Of the truant
boys caught, tried by jury of bis
peers, and standing up in Court,
white the Judge pronounces sentence
tbus:-"Stand up, you infant scala
wag. Look the Court in the eye;
you have been tried by jury OF
your country, and found guilty OF
having wilfulIy and maIiciously de-
serted CoIburn's Arithmetic, to go
skating, and for this heinous crime
the sentence of the Court is, that you
be confined thirty days in the county
Jail on bread and water, and that
each day you be spanked fifteen times
with split shingle, and may your
punishment be warning to your fel-
lows" .sre3g 77 G.rlfe

But now there are, TO glad my ear,
No gentle ditties sung;
Where'er | go, 'tis very clear
| am no longer young.
Then ask me not song to sing,
Sweet girl, I is not my way
lis winter now, though all was Spring
Before my hair was gray.
The very birds, when falls the snow,
Rejoice the woods no more
You only hear the breezes blow
Their music round the door;
And so amidst the frosts Of age
Bright thought no longer stray
/ was more merry though less sage,
Before my nair was gray.
There are some wrinkles on my brow,
Some furrows in my face;
And must look through glasses now,
The plainest words to trace;
And in my voice certain shake
Not such as artists play
Not one such lone as | could wake
Before my hair was gray.
Then, lady, bid me not to sing,
But sing by-gone strain
A touching, soft, pathetic thing,
That tells of lovers pain;
And then, perhaps, forgetting all
The sad past in o.day,
/ may the tender time recall
Before my hair was gray.
