"GROWING OLD"

The following lines were found among the Ilanu7eri
PAYERS of the late Mrs. L. +. Hodgkn, whose uea.i

feel that am growing old,
Ny heart is panied aud sad today;
The world is growing faster cold
And friends are passing fast away
feel the breaking down OF age,
Nv sight is poor, my hearing low,
cannot with my friends engage
In talk Ger times OF long ago.
feel a melancholy dread
And every trifle gives alarm,
slowly move with cautious dread
And fear, though none would do me harm
The music that loved so long,
Lies mute and crushed, and all unsirung'
cannot joiu them in the song
NV harp is on the willow hung.
Gold have ! none, my love | give
| cannot do the good ] would:
Still the good Master lets me live
It all by him is understood.
Perhaps my work is not all done
Spared still to soothc some broken heart
Or pass thro trials yet unknown.
Ere am ready 10 depart.
Oh, turn the picture to the light,
may pcrchancc discern star
The star of promise ever bright
But often in the distance far.
Good Shepherd, take my trembling iahu'
Oh. lead and guide me safely through.
Unto that good and holy land,
Where all things are created new.
