The Old Folks.

+ i
The old man sat by the chimney side, :,
His face was wrinkled and wan;
And he leaned both hands on his stout oak cane
As if all his work were done.
His coat was 81 good old fashioned gray, .
His pockets were deep and wide, Y.
Where his specs" and his steel tobacco box
Lay snugly side BY side
The old man liked to stir the fire,
So near him the tongs were kept; f8a
Sometimes he unused as he gazed at the COATS,
Sometimes as he sat and slept.
What saw he in the embers there!
All! pictures of other years;
And now and then they wakened smiles,
But oftener started tears.
His good wife sat on the other side,
III high back, fiag-seat chair,
/ ace meath the pile of her muslin cap
The sheen of her sllvery hair.
There's happy look on her aged face,
AS she busily knits for him,
And Nellie takes up the stitches dropped,
For grandmether's eyes are dim.
Their children come and read the news,
To pass the time each day;
How it stirs the blood In an old mans heart
To hear Of the world away. !
IT'S homely scene, told you 50, ..,.
But pleasant it is to view; ~
At least thought it SO myself, ..
And sketched it down for you.
Be kind unto the old, my friend,
They're worn with the worlds strife,
Though bravely once perehance they fought
The stern, fierce battle of life.
They taught our youthful feet tocllmb i
Upward life's rugged steep; s.t u
Then let US lead them gently down '
To where the weary sleep. !;
