BETTER TINES

BYFRASCEs BROWN
Beacr times" said the dessaie chief, as he
drained, -
From the clear cushing spring of the CLEFT,
One cup to the land where his memory ieiiial"eu'
And the friends whom his fortunes had left.
"BeiteI u9es, It's the bofu W e"e" S''i' O'u''h
heart,
Thouch the signs Of their coming grow faint and de-
Yet the watchword is still ''better times"
The young and the fearless, what temples of uus,
They build on the promise of years;
II may bring them bat wrecks, II will bear them to
dust.
Yet how radiant the prospect appears,
There are honors to Win, there are love tones u
There are homes beneath IeafIaden lines,
And some, in the future, may find them, eut ne
What they dreamt of in those "be''er ai'ieS
The patriot believes, though the land OF MS pride,
In whose triumphs he trusted, hath iound
How wisdom grows feeble, ana ofothefs ui'iue,
When DAYS Of disaster abound
Bn; concord and victory rise TO his sight,
Through the driuge of tears and of crimes,
And he sees his hopes banner still float the light
on those future and far better times.
Our fronds has their love grown forgetfil and far
From the hearts that remember them thus
Let Us hear of their veal, II Will shine like star
Through the clouds that close darkly DER
We speak OF them often, and yet there are names,
Never uttered, though heard like far chimes,
OT voices that come, IN the silence Of dreams,
To our love and their faith, ''betier tines
Our foes, have found them, whose fortunes or
fears
Met ours. IN the struggle Of life,
And tasted the wormwOod, IL might BE- tile tears,
That blend with those waters of strife.
Was the hand, armed with hate grasped in friend
ship Of old I,
Against tired and True love were its crimes?
Let the olive grow green, where the lava hath
rolled,
To our memory and theirs, ''better times,
t.Better tunes" We have watched for their march
to begin,
When the skies were wintry now;
But IL may be the world was less weary Within
And the toni marks less deep on the brow.
BETTER tinesi" we have sought them by wis.iom's
calm ray,
We have called them with foIIy's gay Chimes
But they came not and hope by her watch fire grows
grey,
Yet To each and TO all s'bette. times -
these are said 10 have been the words of Napo-
leon, when drinking from a small spring among the
. rocks Of Eliza. VI"
