The toilet Of a youthful New York swell
is thus described by the Mad: From the
white satin covered upp+rs on hi patent
leather shoes to his whiteshanne hat with a
blue ribbon, hi get up was most remarkable.

Nearing the Shore.

An old man sits in WORE arm chair,
White IS snow is his thin, soft hair.
Furrowed his cheek by time and care,
And back aud forth it sways.
There's a far away form in his dim, dim eye
Which tells of thoughts Of the long gone by,
For he sits once more meath a cloudless sky,
And in childhood merrily plays
He rests his cheek on the head Of his cane.
And, happily smiling, dreams over again
OF that home, the brook, the meadow, the
Dreams all with vision clear.
Then childhood yields unto manhoods place,
And he looks once more in his bright,
bright face,
And down in his starry eyes he can trace
A love remembered and dear.
Then he wakes and sighs: at seems but a
That comes to me now like golden CLEAN,
Or the shimmering glow OF the suns last
But It's pleasant to think it DER
That youth wss 30 sweet, but now is past,
Those DAYS of love were too precious to last,
But over wonder their pleasures are cast,
And l am nearing that shore"
He is gliding along in his little boat;
Ger the calm, still waters they peacefully
floats
But echo full soft brings 8 well known note
From the land be has left behind.
But time will row back for him no more,
And he gazes away to that other shore.
And knows when the voyage Of life snail be
DER
That his dream beyond he will find.
The seeds of youth which in youth we SOW,
Adown through the isles of the future vii
glow
And shed on age beautiful glow,
As they come in memory's CLEANS.
Loved faces will come to dimming sigh:
Sweet words will echo in day dreams bright
And circle old age with their halos OF light
As they mingle in beautiful dreams
