often seen our brightest personal and political

here isso pleasant 10 us that should love toliye
them over sgain. IL permitted to do this, we
would aTdelitiy pray heaven fer the privilege 81
corecting many errors which time and reflection
have pointed out to our mind, bnt, If that blessed
privilege were not vouchsafel TO us, we should
thank God fer the privilege of once more living
those years Just as we have lived them. Our youth
4 sKas passed, and our manhood's Prime is passing
but we,are as happy now as when we first enteret
Louisville in 1880, with high hopes and buoyan
spirits. Some flowers have dropped and died i'll op
path, some STARS have been darkened IN our sky
/ some Bright binds have vanished from our bower
some sweet strains are gone from our song of life
but we feel that very much Of bitterness has gone
With them, that love for our race IS increased
THAT our joys, il sobered and chastened are more
calm and rational, and that earth and heaven have
lost for US none of their beauty and glory
