hooking Back.

Looking backward Oh the past,
Many varied scenes we view
Home, whose sweetness lous will last,
Others sad and cherries, too;
Flowers of the fairest bloom, '''
Smile along life's trodden track,
Whlch our memory gathers home,
AS in dreams she wanders back.
Dreams of beauty come and 60,
Holding us beneath their speh;
Joy and sorrow seem to flow,
Each from out its hidden coll.
Yes, there is mystic chain,
Linked unto the days gone by;
And we live life oer agein,
Tn the realms of memory.
s
Ever welcome as the spring,
Are our past dreams crown'd with flowers
Unto which the heart will cling,
Even to Iife's latest hours.
Hope still points to what's to be,
Chanting, aye, her hymn sublime,
But the past we plainly see,
Written on the scroll of time.

Smooth down the pillow gently, dearest wife,
And look your last upon his changing brow;
The rasp of Death is on his little life;
Our boy is ours but for moment now.
SO young, so fair, 'tis hard that he must SO
Down to the silent Somb and bo alone,
And We who watched his budding beauty grow,
Must mourn for all his infant graces gone.
'Tis past! the seal is set no time can break;
Tho eyeils closc-now cross his little hnnds,
The farewell kiss imprint upon his cheek;
Our child mas gone to join the angel ban0s,
As beautiful as hricf his sojou"n here,
Like solno crai flower, blooming bat to fade:
Oh! may it blossom in brighter sphere,
And angels guide him in bright robes arrayed,
Where blessed spirits are N roace conveyed
To that pure cline where sorrow is unknown
There may we meet with his departed shade,
When OR short pilgrimage on earth is done,
And all the broken ties be mingled into one,
