In clildhoois bright moments, in youths wildly gec
How seldom we ponder dark destiny;
But while life Is sinking, and years swiftly ny,
How oft are we told, poor old man, thou must die.

The worlds fading glory his fond heart bcguilcs,
Nor does lac ponder that naught meath the sky,
Can silence the voice Of poor man, thou must die
Whom prospects arc bright and renown is his own,
The worlds laylshod friendships pompousy shown,
But soonas those visions Of glory pass by,
'Tis silently whispered, poor man, let MIN die.
The glories ofcarth have vanished away
The power Of position ard wealth lost its sway,
The visions ofdotage now pass fore Ills eye,
And loud criesa voice. poor old man. thou must die.
While power wealth and beauty full in their prime,
His favor is sought and his deeds sung in chime
But shorn ofhis glory, his worth none descry;

"Never is hard word, John," said the
sweet-faced wife of John Locke, as she
looked up a moment from the sewing.
"He is mean dastardly coward, and up
on this Holy Bible I"
"Stop, husband! John remember he is
my brother, and by the love you bear me,
forbear to curse him. He has done you a
wrong, Iallow but o John he is very young
and very sorry. The momentary shame you
felt yesterday, will hardly be wiped out
with curse. 1t will only injure yourself,
John. o!please don't say anything dread

The sweet-faced woman prevailed-the
curse that hung upon the lips of the angry
man was not spoken, but he still said: 81
will never forgive him--he has done me a
deadly wrong"
The young man who had provoked this
bitterness, humbled and repentant, sought
in vain for forgivness from him whom, in a
moment of passion, he had injured almost
beyond reparatiop. John Locke steeled his
heart against him.
