THE OLD MAN.

The old man leaned ON his friendly s.aiT,
With a lettering step and slow
And he picked his way of a Sunday MORN,
To the church where he loved to go
His hair was white. and he scarcely knew
A friend as he passed by;
So feeble and fiail was his mcmary now,
And so dim was his cioudcd eye.

In front of The preachers stand,
And listened as if in a pleasant dream,
To the words of better land.
The sunlight fell on his silver locks,
And his white hair turned TO gold
And / fancied a sunlight shownfro Heaven
On the heart of the pilgrim old!
But the autums leaves have fallen now.
And the old man sleeps below
We never shall see him pass again,
With his t%ottering step and slow.
