THE FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH.

When childish critics. you and
Did water tote. truants from school.
For the infreguent glorious chance
To idolize the cricus fool.
To loudly laugh in boyish glee
At the sage quips our grand'dads heard; {;
To catch the burden OF his songs.
And menorize his every word.
There was no Greatest show on earth, "
But he was greatest of tho great; -.
Whom neither pope. nor president.
Nor wit might hope 10 emulate.
He shone the King OF Fairyland.
Circled by sprites In golden sheen;
Each acrobat Grecian god,
Each flying nymph "A more than queen.
Tho heeting years have faster sped
Than the winged rider on his steed;
The glittering spangies turned to dross.
At the cold touch of age aud greed.
And we have worshippod meaner fools.
In lifes arena playing clown,
To catch the gaping crowds applause.
Or change the felt cap for crown.
. Have felt the spell OF sirens fair,
And far more false than circus lass;
For whom we toted pals OF tears;
From whom we never got pass.
In politics have learned TO dodge
And cringe at the ringmaster's lash;
Have had 10 sit outside the ring,
While those inside juggled our cash.
Have seen our fondest hopes laid low,
As was the circus tent ere morn,
And found our dreams as empty seem
AS did the show lot all forlorn.
But why repine, old friend of mine,
When we may lind DeI4eon's spring.
Not in the tropic everglades,
But the perennial circus ringi
Backward may trace our feeble steps
To childhood led by childish hand;
By proxy feed the elephant;
With boyish ears drink in the band.
Changed by the wizard Of the tents
From the bald headed pessimist;
Coaxed captive from our easy chair,
And from our quiet game OF whist.
Deem the hard plank royal seat,
And hearing fresh young laughter ring,
Learn that. defying carking care,
The circus clown is still the king.
