NO TIME LIKE THE OLD TIME.
BY OLIVER WENDELL noLnlrs.

There is no time like the old time
When you and were young,
When the buds of April blossomed,
And the birds of spring-tiine sung.
Tie gardens brightest glories
By summer suns are nursed,
But oh, the sweet, sweet violets,
The flowers that opened first!
There is no place like the old place
Where yen and | were born,
Where We lifted first our eyelids
On the splendOrs of theymorD.
From the milkwhite breast chat warmed
us,
From the clinsing arms that bore,
Where the dear eyes glistened DER us
That will look for us no more
There is no friend like the old friend,
That has shared our morning days,
No greeting like his welcome,
No homage like his praise;
Fame is the seentless sunhower,
With gaudy crown of gold;
But friendship is the breathing rose,
With sweets in every fold.
There is no love like tho old love,
That we courted in our pride;
Though our leaves are falling, falling,
Aud we're are fading side by side,
There are blossoms all around US,
With the colors of our dawn.
Aud we live in borrowed sunshine
When the light of day IS gone.
There are no times like the old times
They shall never be forgot
There is no place like the old place
Keep green the dear old spot!
There are no friends like our old friends
May heaven prolong their lives
There are no loves like our old loves
God bless our loving wives!

A valentine F.! All. caa Il hr
That sOme ono AAa addressed 10 me
These lines 80 sweet and ienderf
Name OF initial i not set
Upon tho page. aud yet aud Yet
/ think know the sender
What though tho writing DO disguised
Aud many = little trick devised
TO aid the fond deception
~. Valentine provides the key
That spolls the little mystery
The moment Of reception
We may bo right, We may DO wrongs
For lack OF confirmation strong
We give the rein Ia fancy,
And let her wander NJ her will,
Aud her bright destiny fnlhl
In iield. OF necromancy'
Aud valentines would lose their charm
II they nj once could doubt disarn
E,e once the zeal was broken
Aud 80 the deeper the Disguise,
The more delightful the surprise
And sweeter Is the token.
