Some one has said that the introduc-

stroysd the charm of farm life, and be
might have added that the coming of
the railroad train had destroyed the
romance of ride on an old-time stage

attractive that even the preachers
had to 60 there for entertainment. Still

OLD TINES, OLD FRIENDS, OLD LOVE.


There are no days like the good Old
days
The days when We were youthful!
When humankind were pure of mind
And speech and deed were truthful;
Before love for sordid gold
Became a ruling passion,
And before each dame and maid be-
Slaves to the tyrant fashion!
There are no girls like the good old
girls
Against the world I'd take 'em!
AS buxom and smart and clean of heart
As the Lord knew how to make 'em !!
They were rich in spirit and in COM
mon sense,
A piety all supportn';
They could bake and brew, and had
taught school, too,
And they made the loveliest courtinl
There are no boys like the good old
boys
When We were boys tog gather
When the grass was sweet to the brown
bare feet
That dimplei the laughing heather;
When pews sung to the summer dawn
Of the bee in the billowy clover,
Or down by the mill the whip -poor-will
Echoed his night song over.
There is no love like the good old
love
The love that mother gave us
We are old, old men, yet We pine again
For that precious grace-God gave
So we dream and dream of the good old
| times
And our hearts grow tenderer, fonder
AS those dear old dreams bring sooth
| ing CLEANS
OF heaven away off yonder.
