POETRY Y.
Old Friend.

There are no wrinkles on thy brow,
Nor on that jolly heart of thinei
/ call thee old because thou art
Like rich Burgundian wine,
That prisons in its heart the light
OF sixty summers syne.
1 call thee old because thou seemst
A soul through ages wandering down,
Collecting sweets in fowery paths
To blend them with thine own,
To waste them on a thankless air,
Forgetfui of renown,
But drink with me tonight, old boy,
Perchance the last for many year.
For on the morrow sail east,
While you TO westward Steer;
And never on the sea of life
We meet again as here.
Soon other scenes will fill the eve,
Aud other friendships claim the heart,
While tastes will change, old words grow dim,
The strength of prime depart,
And DER our now uncouded sky
Disasters bolts will dart
Then. while the bloom of youth remains,
And hope deferred hath swelled no sigh.
With naught to sadden, na1ght to dull
The fervor OF the eye;
And ere we say the last sad word,
Oh! fill the beaker high!
Then place your hand in mine, old boy,
And stoutly pledge me, firm and lcal,
II ever SANDER seeks my name,
Thou wilt the falsehood seal,
Nor let aught rankle in your breast,
Against my honor's veal.
But, If within LIES dizzy whirl
sink aud lose my manhood true,
Or wildeied by the pomp of vice.
Its gorgeous paths pursue,
Oh! ere thou iing'st me from thy heart,
A tear / craye-aoieui
