THE FUTURE AND THE PAST.

Wherein two currents now-
One to the Future ieaiing,
Ouc to the Long Ago. aA
On both the banks are roses
On both the sun Is cast,
But the current which Il smoothcst
Flows ever to the Past.
Upon this obbing river
Our thoughts like vessels go
Some to the Future sailing,
Some to the Long Ago.
Bringing at their returning,
Relies We dearly prize,
Brought from those distant islands
Bound by youths sunny skies.
Strange that the Past remaine,h

Strange we are never willing
To say tbepas goodbye.

Makes every cloud look golden
That's ia the distance seen.

She went TO get some work one day
