And SO they rush upon the train,

THE OLD COUPLE.

IL stands in sunny meadow,
The house so messy and brown,
With its cumbrous old stone chimney,
And the gray roof sloping down.
Tho trees fold their green arms round it,
The trees, a century old;
And the winds 90 chanting through the
And the sunbeams drop their gold.
Tie cowsiips spring in the marshes,
And the roses bloom on tho HILL
And beside the brook in the pastures,
The herds 20 feeding at will.
vhc children have gone and left them;
They sit in the sun alone;
And the old wife's ears are failing,
As she harIs 70 the well known tone
That one heart in her girlhood.
That soothed her in many a care,
And praises her now for the brightness
Her old face used to wear.
She thinks again OF her bridal
How, dressed in her robe of white,
She stood by her gay young lover
~ the mornings rosy light
Oh, the morning is as rosy as ever.
But the rose from her check has fed;
And the sunshine still is golden,
Gut 1t falls on silvered head.
And the girlhood dreams once vanished
Come back in her winter time,
Ti'i her feeble pulses tremblc
With the thrill Of spring times prime.
And looking forth from the window,
Bhethinks how the trees have grown
Since. clad ia her bridal wilderness,
She crossed the old door-stone,
Though dimmed her eyes bright azure,
And dimmed her hairs young gold
The love of her girlhood plightcd
Eas never grown dim nor old.
They sat in peace in the sunshine,
Till the day was almost done;
And then, at It's close, an angel
Stole over the threshold stone
He folded their hands together
He touched their eyelids with balm;
And their last breath floated upward
Like the close Of q solemn psalm.
Like bridal PAIR they trayersed
The unseen mystic road
Plat leads to the beautiful city
Whose builder and maker is God
Perhaps in that miracle country
Theywill give her her lost youth back,
And flowers of q vanished spring-timc
viii bloom In The spirits track.
One draucht from the living waters
Shall call back his manhood's prime
AID eternal years shall measure
The love that ouiliyed time.
But the shapes that they left behind them,
The wrinkles and silver hair
Made holy to us by the kisses
The angel had printed there.
We viii hide away meath the willows,
When the day is low in the west:
Where the sunbeams can not find them,
Nor the winds disturb their rest.
And wei! suffer no tell tomb stone,
With its age and date to rise
Ger the two who were old no longer,
In the Fathers House in the skies.
