The old stage-coach has long since gene

| In lie place is the iron horse.
In looking back can yonr eye keep dry
Whensit views the pasts No rsmorse
Eighty Time flies as IL on eagles wings;
| What hurry and rush--in vain
You've past tbs rush-the door just
swings;
Twill open soon-then close again.
Your years have been many and SO strong.
| No time for failure or fear;
In this rapid stride of the rushing throng
| You We watched their progress year by
| year.
Your hoary head Is honorsd-rest in love
sAs the years yon remain pass by;
Fiji each glad moment like the purest
dove
With thoughts of the Sweet Rye-and-
--- Bye.
Growing old beautifully-the wheels of
| Time soon glide.
| Busy the moments, helpful the hand.
| just waiting for the turn OF the tide
Which reaches to the border land.
