FOR THE SPIRIT OF THE AGE.
A Song of Life.
ny D. McN.
Long years ago, q blooming youth,
With brow Of thoughtful cast,
An eye in which tho light oftruth,
And hope, alternate passed
Went forth upon the stage Of life
TO eull It's joys, and meet its strife.
Poverty FIRST opposed his way,
With many an adverse frown;
But soon be cast her shafts away
And broke her barriers down
So young. so strong was he, and bold
Wealth shower'd on him abundant gold.
Love next opposed, but not so hard
Few rivals with him We'd;
lie broke the d~ificults that barred
And won a lovely bride.
Lilies cup Of joy, now to the brim,
Seem'd ready to o'erfOw for him.
Next hate and envy sailed forth,
a harder trial this prov'd;
lie shook them of with latent worth
Loving, he too was loved.
SO firm and upright in his course,
All yielded to his mental force.
Yet young, possessed of buoyant health,
A young aud loving wife,
With every eomfort-friends and wealth
With every Joy Of life:
His shelves we're flPd with sayings wise,
Ills field were broad for exercise.
Thus bappy-wino was offered him,
lie uembled at the sight,
Yet soon he yielded, tasted il,
And drank, but, touched il light"
But wilder still his thirst became,
Aud so0n lac lost his noble fame.
Yet still he drank-till all was lost,
His wife grew sad and pale,
She died-her that he valued most
Now all his hopes did fail
Thus all, no earthly power could save,
Pass'd with the drunkard to his grave.
