THE. BETTER TIME.

Could young days last Tor all our time.
And change and chance be clever.
Could what we have keep pure and prime.
Nor fade our fortunes ever;
Gould joys that once like summer smiled
Still every burden tighten,
And lovely scenes. that once beguiied.
Along our way yet brighten:
Could budding hopes in beauty bloom.
Ere comes the time OF dotage.
Could every stalk, with tasseled plume.
But have an ample fruitage;
Gould all the seasons bring US good
And only good be given.
II well might then be understood.
That here on earth is Heaven.
But this we know can never be.
The fact needs only stating,
For even blinded eyes can see
The need we have of waiting;
The happy birds in early spring.
Back from the south come flying.
But soon again are on the wing.
And summer time is dying;
"A little while, with softened skies.
The earth grows warm and mellow,
And then the beauty fades and dies
And flowers and fields are yellow:
A little while and we are blessed.
And every JOY has greeting,
But soon. with grief and care oppressed,
We find that all rs ieeting.
And so the seasons onward run.
And here is much of sorrow.
Our hopes must wait 1.-The world to come"
And blossom there tomorrow;
Tomorrow, that glad day and wide
With bliss and blessing crowded,
And peace and JOY on every side.
Shall never be beclouded:
There all our hopes. on lofty wing,
Shall rise from deaths dark portal.
Exulting with delight 10 sing
The glorious song immortal:
No blighting frosts shall chill that day,
Nor chimes nor changes sever.
The friends that there. enrapt, shall stay
Forever and forever.
