Age and Youth.


Spring was busy in the woodlands,
Climbing up from peak to peak,
AS an old man sat and brooded,
with flush upon his check
Many years pressed hard upon him.
And his living friends were few.
And from on, the sombrc feature
Troubles drifted into view.
There is something moves us strangely.
In old ruins gray with years;
Yet there's something far moro touching
In an old face %ot with tears.
And ne sat there, sadly sighing
Oer his feeblcnoss aud wrongs,
Though the birds outside his window
Tnlkod'of summer in their songs.
But behold a change comes DER him:
Where arc all his sorrows now :
Could they lesvG his heart as quickly
AS the gloom clouds left his browi
Up the green slope of his garden,
Past the dial, he has run
Three young girls, with bright eyes shining.
Like their brown beads in the sun
There was Fanny, famed for wisdom:
Aud fair Alice, famed for pride;
And one that could say "My uncle"
And said little else beside.
And that vision startled memories.
That sooa hid all scenes Of strife.
scndng floods of halowed sunshine
Through the rugged rents of life.
Then they took him from his study,
Through long lanes and tangled bowers.
Out into the shaded valleys,
Richly tinted DER with flowers.
ANA he blessed their merry voices.
Singing round him as he went,
For the sight of their wild gladncss
Filled his own heart with content.
And that night tasrc came about him
Far.of meadows pictured fair,
And Old woods in which he wandered
Ere he knew the name of care;
And he said: "Thcsc angel faces
Take the whitepcss from ones hair"
