Gentle Words.

The sun may warm the grass to life,
The dew the dropping flower,
The eyes grow bright and watch the ligh
Of Autumn's opening hour
But words that breathe of tenderness,
'aco And smiles we know are true,
Are warmer than the summer time,
And brighter than the dew.
It is not much the world can give,
With all its subtle art
And gold and gems are not the things
To sanctify the heart;
But o, if those who cluster round
The altar and the hearth,
Have gentle words and loving smiles,
How beautiful is earth!

Times Changes.

There was child, a helpless child,
Full of vain fears and fancics wild,
That often wept, and sometimes smil'd
Upon its mothers breast;
Feebly its meanings stammered out,
And tottered trembling about,
And knew no wider world without
Its little home of rest.
There was boy, a light-hearted boy,
One whom no troubles could annoy,
Save some lost sport, or shattered toy,
Forgotten in on hour;
No dark remembrance troubled him,
No future fear bis path could dim,
But Joy before his eyes would swim,
And hopes rise like tower.
There was youth. an ardent youth,
Full of high promise, courage, truth;
He felt no scathe, he knew no ruth,
Save loves sweet wounds alone;
He thought of but two sparkling eyes,
He sought no gain but bcauty's prize,
And sweeter held loves saddest sighs
Than music's softest tone.
There was q man, a wary man,
Whose bosom nursed full many d plan
For making life's contracted span
A path Of gain and gold:
And how to SOW and how to reap.
And how to swell his shining heap,
And how the wealth acquired to keep
Secure within its fold.
There was an old, old, gray -haired one,
On whom had fourscore winters done
Their work appointed, and had spun
His thread of life so fine,
That scarce its thin line could be secn,
And with the slightest touch I ween,
'Twould be as it had never been,
And leave behind no sign.
And who were they, those five whom fato
Seemed as strange contrasts to create,
That each might in his different state
The others pathway shun !?
I tell thee that that infant vain,
That boy, that youth, that man Of gain
That gray-beard, who did roads attain
So various-they were one.
