Wishing youIh always would linser, q mower

Lift from the shadow your sunshiny heid,
Growing old is nothing TO dread

See how its dry boughs shoot
The green leaves fall and the blossom. iadei
But youth is a living root.
There are always buds 10 the old trees heart,
Ready at berkon of Spring to start.
0 little maid, there s JOY 70 seek
Glory Of earth and sky,-
When The rosebud streak fades out OF Tour cheek,
And the dewy CLEAN from your eye;
Deeper and wider mrst fife take root
Redder and higher must glow its iruit.

That youth from your heart VIII eo:-
Reach forth unto heaven, through shower ano

We are always young, while we grow.
Breathe cut 10 blessing your happy breath
For love keeps the spirit from age and death.

about mining camps. this being the first
one he has ever visited. On the night OF
his arrival he stopped at a we'll known
clearinghouse on Main street. and being
fatlgued with his journey, soon went to
bed, and slept soundly until late the next
morning. Now, P. V. was utterly igno-
rant of the fact that in mining camps can
vas is used, in many instances, for cover
ing ceilings and walls, instead OF plaster.
and upon awaking was alarmed to see the
ceiling apparently coming down. the cam
vas being moved by a current Of air. Think
ing it freak Of the Imagination land being
strictly temperate, he knew it was not At.
tributable to snakes), P. v. rose to a sit
ting position, and instantly noticed the
same motion on the walls. Springine
from the bed, he grasped his breeches, and
rushing into the hall, shouted to the
amazed and shocked servant, "Tell the
landlady the damned old walls are coming
down."
