A TRUE FRIEND.-Thou mayest be sure
that he that will in private tell thee Of thy
faults, is thy friend, for he adventures thy
dislike, and doth hazard thy hatred; for there
are few men that con endure it-every man
for the most part delighting in self praise,
which is one of the most universal follies
that bewitcheth mankind.-Sir Walter Raj.

BIZ MARTIN rARouHAR TuppER.


I am not old-1 cannot be old,
Though three score years and ten
Have wasted away, like a tale that is told,
The lives Of other men.
I am not old; though friends and foes
Alike have gone 70 their graves,
And len me alone TO my joys and my woes,
AZ rock in the midst OF tho waves.
/ Am not oh-I cannot be old,
Though tottering, wrInkled and gray;
Though my eyes are dim, and my marrow Is cold,
Call me not old to day.
For, early memories 70 und me throng, .--
Old tlmos, and manners, and men,
As look behind on my journey so long
OF threescore miles and ton;
I look behind, and am once moro young,
Buoyant, and brave and bold,
And my heart can sing, as Of yore 1t sung,
Before they called me old.
I do not see her-thc old wife there
ShTivelled, and haggard, and gray,
But look on her blooming, and soft and fair,
As she was on her wedding day.
10 not SEQ yOu1 uaugnteTS ana sone1
In the likeness Of women and men,
But kiss you now as kissed you once,
My fond little children then.
And, as my own grandson rides on my knee,
Or plays with his hoop or kite,
l can we'll Pecollect was merry as he
The bright-syed little wight
'Tis not long since-it cannot be long
My years SO soon were spent,
Since l was boy, both straight and strong,
Yet now I am feeble and bent.
A dream, a dream-it is all a dream!
A strange, sad dream, good sooth;
For old as am, and old as l seem,
Ny heart is full of youth
Eye hath not seen, tongue hath not told,
And ear hath not heard it sung,
How buoyant and bold, though it seem to grow oil
Is the heart forsver young.
Forever young. though life's old ago,
Hath every nerve unstrling;
The HEART, the HrANT is q heritage
That keeps the old man young!
