POETRY.
THE FOOTSTEPS OF DECAY


The following is translation from an ancier
Spanish poem which, says the Edinburgh Rer'eu
is surpassed by nothing with which we are az
quaintcd in the Spanish language, except the Od
of Louis dc Leon -
Oh! let the soul its slumbeys break
Arouse its senses, and awake
To see how soon
Life. in its glories, giides away,
And the stern footsteps of decay
Come stealing on.
And while we view the rolling tide
Down which our flowing minutes glide
d Away so fast,
Let us the present hour employ,
And deem each future dream a JOY
Already past.
Let no vain hope deceive the mind,
No happier let us hope to find
Tomorrow than to-day;
Our golden dreams OF yore were bright,
Like them the present shall delight
Like them decay.
Our lives like fastening streams must be,
That into one engulhng sea
Are doomed 10 fall
The sea Of death, whose waves roll on
O'er king and kingdom, crown and throne,
And swallow all.
Alike the rivers lordly tide,
Alike the humble rivuet's glide,
To that sad wave
Death levels poverty and pride,L
And rich and poor sleep side by eide
Within the grave.
Our birth is but starting place;
Life is the running ofthe race,
And death the goal;
There all our glittering toys are brought
That path alone, Of all unsought,
Is found Of ALL
See, then, how poor and little worth
Are all those glittcring toys of earth
Thatlure US here;
Dreams of sleep that death must break,
Alas before it bids US awake,
We disappear.
Long ere the damp Of death can blight
The checks pure glow Of red and white
He passed away;
Youth smiled, and all was heavenly fair;
Age came, and laid his finger there,
And where are they!
Where is the strength that spurned decty,
The step that rorcd so light and gay;
-, The hearts blthe tone
The strength is gone, the step is slow,
And joy grows wearisome, and woe!
When age comes on!
