The Footsteps Of Decay.

The following is a translation from an
ancient Spanish Poem, which, says the Ed
Ingburg Review, is surpassed by nothing
with which we are acquainted in The Span
sh language, except the lode of Louis de
Leon.'
Oh |! let the soul its slumbers break
Arouse it's ser ses and awake,
To see how soon
Lie, in its glores RIidss away,
Aud the stern footsteps. OF decay
Come stealing OF.
And while we view the rolling tide,
Down which our flowing minutes glide
Away so last.
Let Us the present hour employ,
Aud deem each future dream OF Joy
Already past.
Let no vain hope decisive the mind
No happier lei US hope to find
To morrow than to- oday.
Our golden dreams OF yore were bright,
Like them the present shall delight,
Let them decay.
Our lives like Fastening streams must be,
That into one enguIphing sea
Are doomed 10 tall
The sea of death whose waves roll on
Der king and kingdom, crown and throne,
And swallow all.
Alike The rivers Iordly tide,
Alike lhs humble rivulets glide
To that sad wave
Death levels p-veriy and PRIDE
And rich aud poor sleep side by side
Within the grave.
Our hirIh is but starting place,
Lie i ih- running of the race,
Aud dealh The goal /;
There aie all our gIlItering toys are bro't-
The path l7ne oi all nnsoughi,
l. found OF al
See then how poor aud liule worth
Are all ms glitering loys OF earth
That lure us here
Dreams oil sleep that death must break,
Alas before il bids Us wake,
Long ere the damp Of earth can blight,
The cheeks pure glow Of red and white
Has passed away.
Youth smiled and all was Heavenly fair,
Age came and laid his finger there
Aud where are they?
Where is the strength :h at spurned decay,
The slep that roved so light and gay,
The hearts bliIbe tone
The strength is gone the step is slow,
And Joy grows wearysome and wo
When age comes on.
