OLD FRIENDS TOGETHER.

Oh time is sweet, when roses meet
With Springs sweet breath around them
And sweet the cost. when hearts are lost
If those we love have found them
And sN eet the mind that still can find,
A star in darkest weather
But nought can be so sweet to see,
As old friends met together!
, Those days of old, when youth was born,
And time stole wings to speed it,
And youth ne'er knew how fast time flew
Or knowing. did not heed it
Tho gray each brow that meets US now
For age brings wintry weather
Yet nought can be so sweet to SEQ,
As thus old friends together
The few long known. that years have shown,
With hearts that friendship blesses
A hand to checr-perchance. tear
To soOthe friends distrcsses
That helped and tried-stili side by side
A friend to face hard weather.
On. thus may we yet joy to see,
And meet old friends together.
