THE GIFTS OF AGE.

How wilt thou cheer me- Age, when year by
The grace and Joy Of Youth are passed away,
And thou hast turned the bonnie brown hal,
gray,
Ofmmed the clear eyes, hast bid the red lin,
fade,
And tfo soft motion Of the 1.-the, soft limbs
tntoslow creeping, like the snairs, hast made,
How shall cheer thee' 1 will crown thy head
With cleaning silver; for Youths timid sips
OF power give thee the best Of all-the power
TO comfort: seam thy softly faded face
With deep experiences make thy faltering ster
Music most dear within thy dwelling. place
What wilt thou bring me, Age, when from my
heart
Thou tak'st the light of Youth, who gives the
hours
Such brilliant, rapid fight when all my powers
Snaii, one by one lose the fresh, vigorous play
mat makes their exercise pure delight
o how dread to see Youth pass awayi
What shall bring thceg will bring to thee
Long hours OF pure companionship, whose wide
And perfect happiness shall with thee bide
Long after earth has passed. I'll bring to thee
Fair Memory's afterglow, thy husbands trust
Thy children's love, thy friends fidelity.
What canst thou give me, Age, to make life
With thee endurablep Then shall know
The embers of the passions that now glow
And burn within my fervid heart Canst thou,
The forerunner of Death, find aught to ease
The dread descent foreshadowed on thy browp
What can give thee? thou doubling heart I
III lead thee gently TO the welcome grave
Where thou shalt leave thy body, passions

Worn out and useless, Tapped in droamless rest
Thy glowing spirit, as it bursts its cell,
Shall own, exultant Ages gifts are best.
