THE OLD SONG.

'Tis pleasant, "to steal awhile away"
And remember the songs we sung
Ere the dear home circle was broken,
In the days when we were young.
1.-THE Campbell's are coming" as boldly as then,
When we sat at the mothers feet,
Though they may have crossed the river
Where time and eternity meet.
The "Greenland's mountains are ICY"
They warm our hearts to the core
For they ring with the echo of voices,
That warble on earth no more.
We recall the myriad schoolmates-
Who peopled the changeful past
And dream over words they have spoken,
And the place where we saw them last,
And wonder if time has robbed them,
OF the treasures they cherished then,
While we traced on earth visage the features
Ofwomen, or stalwart men
Though I may have long been forgotten,
AS an atom on life's ocean foam
Yet methinks that many thought will return
AS we mention the "Old Folks at Home"
We think of the gay companions,
Who bartered the laurel for rue.
Whose accounts return so sadly
In the notes of "The Red, White and Blue"
Who marched meath the "star Spangled Banner
To the plains of the sunny south.
Where the sweet old melodies mingled
With the boom from the cannon's mouth.
Old comrades "Tho' hearts grow weary"
MID sorrow, estrangement and care
The songs of our youth still charm us,
Though sombre the robes we wear
And we fancy the music of "Auld Lang Syne'
Will lInger as death draws nigh
And unite us to earth while singing,
The tunes of the "Sweet BY and By.''
