GROWING OLE

GROWING OLD,
looked in the tell-tale mirror,
And saw the marks of care
The crows-feet and the wrinkles
And the gray in the dark brown hair
My wife looked DER my shoulder
Most beautiful was she;
Thou wilt never grow old, my love- she said
"Never grow old to me.
For age is the chilling of the heart,
and thine, as mine can tell,
Is as young and warm when first We heard
The sound of our bridal bell -
turned and kissed her ripe rcd lips
" Let time do its worst on me,
If in my soul, my love. my faith
never seem old to thee ~

on his farm near Washington, y. &.
and for which he gave his note fos

effect, and he claimed that 1t was
worthless, and refused to pay the
note. The plaintiff brought suit. The
defendant proved that the guano wa.
of no benefit whatever to his crop. and
that compost on the same character OF

their printed formula-and it was of Il

to Washington was prepared with
more than their usual care, being the
first lot sent to Washington. They
introduced witnesses who testified
they had used this guano though not
of this lot sent to Washington in the
year 1870 with beneficial results.
About eleven o'clock the jury return

trial was granted, but the case was on
