DAYS OF MY YOUTH.

e following poem was written By Judge
George Tucker, the 'stepfather Of Johr
olph, OF Roanoke, grandfather OF j. K
er, late member OF congress, and great
father Of Charles Washington Coleman
ibuted by NJ. Louisa McClellandl
Days OF my youth,
Ye have glided away;
Hairs OF my youth,
Ye are frosted and gray;
Eyes OF my youth,
Your keen sight is no more;
Cheeks Of my youth,
Ye are furrowed all DER:
Strength Of my youth,
All thy vigor is gone;
Thoughts OF my youth,
Your gay visions are flown.
Days OF my youth,
wish not your recall;
Hairs Of my youth,
I'm content ye shall fall;
Eyes Of my youth,
You much evil have seen;
Cheeks OF my youth,
Bathed IN tears you have been:
Strength Of my youth,
Why lament thy decay:
Thoughts OF my youth,
Yc have led me astray.
Days OF my age,
Ye will shortly be past;
Pains OF my age,
Yet awhile ye can last;
Joys Of my age,
In true wisdom delight;
Eyes Of my age,
Be religion your light;
Thoughts Of my age,
Dread ye not the cold'sod;
Hopes of my age,
BE ye fixed on your God.

He saw her face, he heard her words,
then he saw and heard little more, for
the world grew dark to him, and he
passed as it We're, into deep sleep.
Presently Umslopogaas awoke again,
feeling pain in his thigh where the lion
ess had bitten him, and heard a sound Of
shouting. lie looked up; near to him stood
the lioness that had looscncd him from
her jaws. She was snorting with rage,
