TEE OLD WATCH.

My grandfather's watch is battered and old,
1t never contained either jewels or gold:
I've carried thee now for many long years,
And cherished by me, tho some gave thee sneers
Although thou art thick, and not outwardly fine,
Thro' summer and winter you we kept good time
I've seen many IA rival all cased in fine gold,
Yet still prefer you for time, tho you're old;
Poor, common and worn, with a thin silver case
1 scarcely can see the time now by the face;
Yet still can hear, by that old wheezy sound,
You must BIZ repaired, or you'll soon run aground
And so long as l live none shall part me and you,
Save while you re repairing by BARTHOLOMEW
And as those old hands pointthe hour Of day,
1t tells me how time passes swiftly away;
For soon must leave thee, fornone will be caring,
go, like you then, for thorough repairing.
