Fathers Growing Old, John.

BY j. q. A. WOOD.
Our father 5 growing old, John
His eyes are growing dim,
And years are on his shoulders Iald,
A heavy weight for him.
And YOU aud arc young and hale,
And each q stalwart man,
And we must make his load rs light
And easy as We can.
lie used to take the bruut, John,
At cradle and the plough,
And earned our porrdge by the sweat
That tricked down his brow;
Yet never heard we him complain,
Whatc' CT his toll might be,
Nor wanted e'er welcome seat
Upon his solid knee.
And when our boy.strength came, John,
And sturdy grew each limb,
" lb-NrH6t me ION lwItnlow ne'"'
But he went foremost in the swath,
Tossing aside the grain,
Just like the plough that hcaves the soil
Or ships that sheer the main.
Now we must lead the van, John,
Through weather foul and fair,
And let the old man read and doze,
And tilt his easy chair;
And he'll not mind it, John, you know,
At eve to tell US o'er
Those brave old days of British times,
Our grandsires and the war.
heard you speak Of ma am. john
'Tis ROspe! what you say,
That caring for the like OF us
Has turned her head TO gray
Yet, John, do remember wa
When neighbors called aer VAIN,
And when her hair was long, and like
\ cleaning sheaf oi gram
Her lips were clorry red, John,
Her cheeLs were round and fair,
And likeA ripened peach they swelled
Aeanst her wavy hair.
iIe, Step fell lightly rs the leaf
From off the summer tree,
And all day busy ut the wheel,
She sang to you and me.
She had buxom arm, John,
That welded we'll the rod,
Whcne'er with witu step our feet
The path forbidden trod
But to the heaven OF her eye
We never looked in vain,
And ever more our yielding cry
Brought down her tears like rain.
But this is long ago, John,
And we are what we are,
And little heed we day by day.
Her fading cheek and hair
And when beneath her faithful breast
The tides no longer stir,
Tis then, John, we the most shall feel
We had no friend like her.
Sure there can be no harm, John,
Thus speaking softly O'er
The blessed name Of those e'er lonS
Shall welcome Us no more.
Nay. hide it not, for why shouldst thou
An honest tear dsown?
Thy heart one day will lighter be,
Remembering it has flown.
Yes, fathers growing old, John,
His eyes are gotting dim,
And mothers treading softly down
The deep descent with him;
But you and are young and hale,
And each a stalwart man,
And we must make their path as smooth
And level as we can.

THE OXYGEN GAsLIGHT.- An exhibition OF
the oxygen gaslight and its method OF manu-
iacturc was given few evenings since IN New
York The Hght is more purely white than
most ot the lights in ordinary use. It Is many
times more brilliant than the standard gasIlght,
with the same consumption of coal gas; 1t is
steady, without flicker, and cannot be blown
out Much less heat is thrown out by this
light than from any petroleum or other gas
flames, although ii exceis them all IN brlllanecy
The uncovered hand cannot be held over the
ordinary ArSand burner, yet it may be placed
over this light with impunlty. 1t does nOtvitl-
ate the air as much as other lights, is easily
regulated, and perfectly clean, The discovery
Of this process OF illumination and its manu-
acture was made bv Nessrs. Tessie du Motay
and Marcchal, OF France, and consists in ex-
tracing oxygen gas from the atmosphere by
certain chemicals heated in its presehce, and
then collecting the oxygen yielded up by the
chemicals when they are heated with steam.
