Cousin Will.

l strolled last night in musing mood,
Rejecting on my lonely state;
Till wearied out at last, paused
And leaned upon garden gate.
The old moons mellow radiance hung
In golden mists among the trees.
Faint oders, borne from distant flowers,
Ebbed idly on the evening breeze.
As thus stood, absorbed in thought,
pressed against the gate too hard,
1t opened with a sudden Jerk -
| found myself within the yard
a form came gliding down the walk -.
Soft arms embraced me- as, perplexed,
l stood one blissful moment, while
A sweet voice soothed my ear; the next
1t rose into shrek, then sobbed:
30 sir, how could you keep SO still
When all the time k,sosg you knew
thought you were my cousin Will"
These stars are moons. or rather months;
just five have filtered since that night,
And two of these have calmly shone
Upon our welded life. 1t quite
Surprises me to think of it.
And she is queenly tall and fair.
With lustrous eyes, and such wealth
Orwell. we call it auburn hair.
$50 late" Fvejust come from the club;
My wife sits silent, but light,
Unseen before, Turks in her eye.
Once more muse on that calm night
When first she met me at the gate,
And wonder. while her eyes fame still,
If ever /, in days to come,
Shall wish it had been cousin Will

Three Young Men.

Three young men rode into the town
Side by side, as the sun went down,
Shook hands and parted to seek their rest,
And each to live as to him seemed best
The first earoused with cards and vine
Decked his mistress with jewels fine,
And laughed as he tossed his glass on high.
Nor rocked, God help him, he had to die.
The second did nothing but groan and pray,
Groan through the night and through the day;
He lived in fear, God help him, say 1,
And only thought that he had to die.
The third enjoyed the goods he had;
Laughed with the gay and wept with the sad
Nor ever forgot, God bless him, say /,
That he had to live and he had to die.

Life's Roses.

When the morning first encloses,
And before the mists are gone,
All the hills seem bright with roses,
just little father on!
Lo, with eager upturned faces,
Wait the children for the hours
That shall bring them to the places
of the tantalizing flowers.
Hands begin to clutch at posies,
Eyes to flash with new delight,
And the roses, OH the roses,
Burning, blushing, full in sight!
Not thought of rainy weather,
Nor of thorns, to sting and grieve,
Gather, gather, gather, gather,
All the care is what to leavel
Noon to afternoon advances,
Rosy red grows russell brown;
Sad eyes turn to backward glances,
SO the sun of youth goes down.
And as rose by rose it withered,
Sober sight begins to find,
Many false heart has been gathered
Many true one left behind.
