THE BEAUTY OF OLD AGE.

often think each tottering form
That limps along in life's decline
Once bore heart as young. as warm,
As full of idle faults as minei
And each has had its dream Of joy,
Its own unequaled, pure romance,
Commencing when each blushng boy
First thrilled at lovely woman's glance.
And each could tell his tale Of youth.
Would think its scenes love evince
More passion, more unearthly truth,
Than any tale before or since.
Yes they could tell of tender lays,
At midnight penned in classic shades,
or days more bright than modern days
And maids more fair than modern maids.
OF whispers in a willing ear;
or kisses on blushing check,
Each kiss. each whisper far too dear
Our modern lips to give or speak.
OF passions too untimely crossed
or passions sighted or betrayed
OF kindred spirits early lost,
Anu Duub lHdt DlOSeOHcu Dut " ldOc.
or beaming eyes and tresses gay,
Elastic form and noble brow,
And forms that have all passed away,
And left them what we see them now.
And is it thus-is human love
So very light and frail a thing?
And must youths brightest vision move
Forever on Times restless wing?
Must all the eyes that still are bright,
And all the lips that talk Of bliss,
And all the forms SO fair to sight,
Hereafter only come to this?
Then what are all earth's treasures worth,
If we at length must lose them thus
If all we value most on earth
Ere long must fade away from US.

MY CROSS.

II is not heavy, agonzing woe,
Bearing me down with hopeless, crushing weight
No ray of comfort in the gathering gloom.
A heart bereaved, household desolate.
1t is not sickness, with her withering hand,
Keeping me low upon coach of pain;
Longing each morning for the weary night,
At night, for weary day to come again.
1t IS not poverty. with chilling blast.
The sunken eye, the hunger.wastlng form;
The dear ones pershing for lack of bread
With no safe shelter from the winters storm.
1t is not SANDER with her evil tongue;
'Tis no "presumptuous sin" against my God
No reputation lost, or friends betrayed:
That such is not ny cross thank thee, Lord.
Mine is a daily Cross Of petty cares,
or little duties pressing on my heart,
OF little troubles hard to reconcile.
or inward struggles, overcome in part.
My feet are weary in their daily rounds,
My heart is weary of its daily care,
My sinful nature often doth rebel;
pray for grace my daily cross to bear.
It is not heavy, Lord, yet oft pine
1t is not heavy. but it's ever here;
By day and night each hour my cross hear,
dare not lay it down Thou aidst it there
/ would not lay II down. only ask
That, taking up my daily cross 1 may
Follow my Master, humbly, step by step.
Through clouds and darkness unto perfect day.

CANNING FRUIT CoLD.-A lady in
Springfield, Massachusetts, has been
making some interesting experiments in
putting up canned goods without cooking.
Heating the fruit tends more or less to
the injury of the favor, and the lady
referred to has found that by filling the
cans with fruit, and then with pure cold
water, and allowing them to stand until
all the confined air has escaped, the fruit
will. if then sealed perfectly, keep in
definitely without change, or loss of
original flavor.
