An Old Umbrella.
Id umbrella I'm the hall.

An old umbrella I'm the hall,
Bat cred and bagRy, quaint and queer
by ali the rains of many year
Bent, stained, aud fadeu-that Is all.
Warped, broken, twisted by the blast
Oftw~niy winters. Till AT last,
Like some poor clo-e-re..f,,i schooner cast,
An watei-iogged, with half mast,
Upon the rorks, Il nnd, nook
OF shelter on an entr, hook,
Old battered craft, how came you here
All could Il speak, 'twould tell Of one
O.d Simon Dowles, who now IN gone-
Gone where the weary are al rest
OF one who locked within his breast
His private sorrOws o',.r his lot,
Aud in hts humble work io,got
That he was but a tOlling bark
Upon the pillows In the dark,
While the brave newer ships swept by,
Sailing beneafh "A prosper ius sky,
And winged with opportunities
Fate had denied 10 hands like his.
A plain old fashioned wight was he.
As these sport-loving days could See.
He In his youth had loved nnd lost
HIS loynl true-love. Ever since
1tis lonely life Was Il ck~d aId crossed
by sorrows nsmeles shadow-tints;
Yet never n murmur from mis- lips
Told Of his darkened souls eclipse.
i often think sill can hear
His voice 20 blithe, his tones OF cheer,
AS, dropping In to say "GOod-day,"
He gossipped in his old-nan's way.
And yet we laughed when he had gone.
We youngsters couidn't understand
No matter IL IL rained or shone,
lie Ield the umbrella M Ills hand,
Or, IL he set IL In the hall,
Where other shedders of the rain
Stood dipping mp agains the wall,
~ ~ was too shsuby and too plain
To tempt exchange. All passed II by,
Though showers of rain were pouring down,
Aud all the gufters OF thu tow
Were torrents In the darkenlng sky.
He never left IL once b..hind,
save the last time he croSssl our door,
Obvious sh idOws DER his mind.
Presaged his falling strength. Before
The morning he had pas.'.d away
In peaceful sleep from night to day.
