OLD TIMES.

There are no days like the good old days
The days when we were youthful;
When human kind were pure OF mind
And speech and deeds were tfutnlul,
Before a love for sordid gold
Became mans ruling passion,
And before each dame and maid became
Slave to the tyrant fashion
There are no girls like the good old girls
Against the world I'd stake EN-,
AS buxom and smart and clean of heart
AS the Lord knew how to make EN-.
Thev were rich in spirit and common sense.
And piety all supportln;
TDev could bake and brew and had taught
school, too,
And they made the likeliest courtin'!
There are 10 boys like the good old boys
When we were boys together:
When the grass was sweet TO the bare brown
feet
That dimpled the laughing heather;
When the leWee sang 10 The summer Dawn
Or the bee in the billowy clover,
Or down by the mill the whp-poOr-will
Echoed his night song over.
There is no love like the good old love
Tie love that mother gave US.
We are old, Old men, yet we pine again
For that precious grace-God save Us.
So we dream and dream OF the good old
times;
And our hearts grow tendeIer fonder.
AS those dear old dreams bring soothing
CLEANS
OF heaven away off yonder.
