/ ANOTHER year this world plods
Toward the goal, where all are borne;
| The school-boys are just as of yore,
| The oceans wash the distant shore.
! The vines from the same branches hung,
/ AS did when you aud were young,
| And will continue SO to be,
When we are in eternity.
Another year but, reader, think,
| That of this life you're on the brink;
And though, just now; you're blessed with health,
1 Kind friends, and neighbors, rank and wealth,
! Look back and think of aged men,
| That few have reached four-scOre and ten;
Though you this land have so long trod,
| You will be beneath the sod.

In the rush of early morning,
When the red burns through the gray,
And the wintry world lies waiting
For the glory of the day,
Then we hear fitful rustling
Just without upon the stair,
See two small white phaDtoms coming,
Catch the CLEAN of sunny hair.
