The Passing Years.

Another year hath sped
Away, to join the slumbering ages of the
past,
Aud add one more unto the number vast,
That erst had fed.
How fleet they pass between
Those twin fOreYers-bOundless frst and
last
TIL eternal future, and eternal past,
To tn vague unseen
Fen such, mans course has been
We come and go, like unto night and morn;
One goeth hence, another one is born,
In strange routine.
Some come upon life's stage
With no assurance of proTacted years,
Yet linger on thro' wise or vain careers,
TO hoary age.
Some fall before their prime;
Or ere life's sun attains its MONDAY height,
Grow weary of earths road and take their
fight
To fairer dimes
Frail cherubs of a day,
Anon, to being spring like lotus flowers
To float upon ifes side few brief hours,
Then fade away.
Let's seize the hours that fly
Betwixt the early dawn and setting sun,
Nor suifer the swift years to needless run,
And fruitless die.
BY G. Wesley SerVOss.
