GROWING OLD,

dTouch us, oh Time, with light hand as you pass
Tempt US to think 1t a loving cares;
dreap on our hearts, too, with reyerent care
Crush not the flowers of life blooming there.
Turrow our toreheads with care If Won will
But let youth linger within our hearts still
Mid our dark tresses are fibers of erav-
Silent reminders of lifes ieeting day
and when We turn to the shadow past
On its bright affairs lay ashes and dust:
All its fair idols are marked with decay
All Its sweet pictures faded away.
Sadly we look for the friends of the past
They of strong heart and the beautiful trust.
Some we find sleeping beneath sculptured stone
Some toiling YEARLY onward alone;
Some through ambition grown heartless and cold
But one and all. save the dead, growing old.
Oft we grow weary in watching in vain
Der hopes that always but shadows remain:
Weary of counting the joys that have died;
Weary of laying bright visions aside;
Weary of taking but drOss for pure gold
Weary, so weary, of hearts growing old.
Chase from us, Time, all shadowy fears;
Lift from our lives the burden Of years;
Shadow our foreheads and sprinkle our hair,
But oh, shield hearts from the burrows of care
Let not the heart grow selfish or cold,
And we shall no longer fear to grow old.

BY THE BARD OF MARBLE HALL
There is doctor in our town,
man of practice and renown;
He makes q handsome income clear
And lays up money every year.
Now, when he started out in youth
He had but little cash in truth;
But still he'd try his best to do
And make a name and money too.
He attended lectures. studied hard,
And very quickly passed the board;
He opened office. hung out sign,
But many patients could not find
Each day he sat- with saddened face
For poverty came on apace;
At last friend gave him advice
Which changed his fortune in trice.
Now patients focked from far and near.
And kept him busy all the year:
Men and women, all declare
No doctor can with him compare.
The secret of his great success
III tell you if you cannot guess;
Inc same advice will help you ALL
