THE OLD sCHOoL-RooM.

By J. H. ACTON.
I'm sitting ali alone and sad
Beside the old brook stream,
Where we were often made so glad
When manhood WAS dream
You know we were but school-boys then,
And sported life away
In IeAfy wood and merry glen.
The gayest Of the gay.
The old schooi-room is standing still
Beside the same old trees.
Aud music yet the woodlands hii,
Caught up on every breeze;
But all are strangers to me- here
Who play upon the lawn,
And all around seems cold AMI drcar
Since YOU and are gone.
Ah. VIII, yen know tue house which STOOL
Upon the bank SO high
Where of thought il did me good
To drink as passed by.
Alas it now is dark and still.
No living thing is there;
The fence is down along the hill,
The yarfis brown and bare.
You know that huge old messy stone
Beside the rule vine swing:
II still is there cold and lone
As in life's earlier spring;
But, ah ! the feet that with US few
So gaIy DER the green,
All now gone as l and you,
And can no more be seen.
A silence there reigns all around,
No voice can now be heard,
Save from the leafy trees a sound.
Made by the warbling bird.
The path which led us up the hill
From where the elm grew,
Now looks sa.bare, and lone, and still,
II must be trod by few.
Aud there's the spring beneath the shade,
The same old quiet dell,
Where often you and have played,
'Aud did not hear the bell"
Its waters now the pebbles hil,
Long rashes in il dip,
But, ah no hands like ours, Win,
Now come to "sah the ship
Yes, yes, all are gone away,
Another school is ours;
Life's manhood brings another day,
And other springs and flowers;
We now have grown to sterner years,
To work with other toys,
To seek new homes, to find new dears,
And dream of other joys.
Well, WILL trust your life is now
A stream smooth then,
That yours is not careworn brow,
Your lot the worst Of men.
We soon will leAve this school aud TO
Again from all we love,
And then we want "green fields" you know,
And school-rooms far above.
think we then will find spring
Whose waters never fail,
And to Gods mighty ocean bring
The ships we wish to sail.
Our canvass then will catch q breeze
Where storms never come,
And in the shade of ''iife's fair trees"
We1l go to school at home.
