For the EAGLE.
OVER MY PIPE.

Many a jolly hour I've spent,
Over my pipe.
Many one on mischief bent,
Over my pipe.
But in those days ofmy wild career,
Which, alas were carried on many 8 year
On schemes intent;
We had no thoughts for the morrow,
A fact to repent;
But as yet having brought no sorrow
Over my pipe.
Many pretty girl I've won,
Over my pipe;
And many an ugly one-for fun,
Over my pipe,
And, as call them all back to mind,
The time when my heart in theirs was en-
twined,
My spirits arise;
Again would see their bright faces,
Dark, sparkling eyes;
Once more would be in their graces,
Over my pipe.
Many night I've whiled away,
Over my pipe;
Many bob" I've lost at play,
Over my pipe;
But of all this there is no regretting,
OF what has been lost there is no regetting,
1t causes no pain:
Still, pleasant memories come crowding
DER
My wearied brain;
Tho on the sea of life can see the shore,
Over my pipe.
