pose to retire, and said he was warned
by the flight of time and advancing age
that the time had arrived when he
should resign the work which had en-
gagged the best years Of his life to
younger men. DR.. Gayey has seen three
generations gathered around Him while

Ny lady's name cannot state,
At different times greet her
As Chloe, Amaryllis Kate,
According To the meter;
I've called her Mabel many time,
A name which leads itself TO rhyme.
My ladv's hair is sometimes black
To match her sable dresses
At others falls about her back
In glorious auburn tresses.
Yet do not take me TO IMPLY
She's given 10 the use of dye.
! like her when she's sweet and small,
The iaintiest OF flowers,
| love her wien, diviuely tall,
Above the rest she towers,
And yet, as second thoughts suggest,
Perhaps golden mean were best.
Sometimes Il simple rustic maid,
She strays through meadows green,
Sometimes her beautyis displayed
In glittering ballroom scene
More recently Eve thought upon
Creating her lady Don.
This peerles, girl of whom speak
And even worship blindly,
And sing her praises once Il week,

Alas, thi, paragon, own,
Exists within my verse alone! ...
