reverence to the old man. Once like you, vicis-
STUDIES of life have silvered the hair. and
changed the round merry face to the worn Wis
age before you. Once that heart beat with as
piratons crushed by disappointment, yours

proudly through the gay scenes of pleasure,
the beau ideal of grace; now the hand of time
that withers The flower of yesterday, has warped
that figure and destroyed the noble earriage.-
Once. at your age, he possessed the thousand
thoughts that pass through your brain, now

sooner he awoke from, the better. But he has
lived the dream very near through. The tune
