REST.
Sweet rest, dear rest,

sweet rest dear rest
Thou art the best
90, children, go in pleasures quest,
Go have your song and dance and mtrth;
j, too, have felt the youthful zest
That gives those winning pleasures worth
But somehow as the winters fit,
'be things on earth that seems the best,
As in my easy chair / sit,
When glows the fire and lamps are lit
Is rest dear rest
Then, children, go in pleasures quest
Pd rather rest
Sweet rest, dear rest,
Thou art the best
From this dear corner by the fire
How family sounds earth's jarring call
The golden aims of youths desire
Times dimming touch is on them all.
Yet swells my heart with deep content
10 find this compensation blest:
Along with sense of pow ers spent,
And falling strength is sweetly blent
The blessedness of well-earned rest
Then go, dear friends, pursue your quest
Leave me to rest.
Sweet rest, dear rest
Thou art the best!
mind me how, when life was young
And bright the years before me rolled,
One shadow DER the future hung
1t seemed SO dreadful to grow old.
But now life's autumn season nears
And seems of all my life the best;
bid my heart dismiss its fears,
know that life's declining years
Shall bring sweet rest.
Co. friends, life hath not lost its zest
But sweet is rest

Long Years Ago.

Long years ago, On arid grouod,
Beside a rocky ledge found
.. A tiny Mower In bloom;
Tho desert, bleak and bare and gray.
All vcrdureless about us lay,
Curled as the hand OF doom
Had touched and shriveled it; alone
The flower smied above the Stone
A star above tomb.
Tonight, inquisItivo Of mood,
| wandered where the demon brood
or want and hungt. vait;
Where worth il sacrificed to might
had crouching figures curse the night
In novels desoiate,
And vagrant song und ribald jest
And onths deep muttcred In the breast
Proclaim the Fienis estate.
And there amid that dreadful din
The very air grown foul with sin,
found a toddling CHILD
With face as pure and sweet and lair
As Ger was famed by heavens air,
As angels undenlcd,-
AT once / saw the drcary plain
The frowning ledge. twas como again.
The blossom In the wild.
