THE OLD DAeuERREoTYPEs.

Up In the attic found them, locked in the
cedar chest,
Where the Powered gowns lie folded, which
once were brave as the best;
And like the queer old jackets and the
waiScoat gay with stripes.
They tell of worn-out fashion-these old
daguerreotypes.
Quaint little folding cases fastened with
tiny hook,
Seemingly made to tempt one to lift up the
latch and look,
Innings of purple velvet. odd little frames
of gold.
Circling the faded faces brought from the
days of old.
Grandpa and grandma, taken ever SO long
ago,
Grandma's bonnet marvel, grandpa's col
lar show
Mother, a tiny toddler, with rings on her
baby hands.
Painted-lest none should notice-in gilt
tering, gilded bands
Aunts and uncles and cousins, a starchy
and stiff array,
Lovers and Brides then blooming, but now
so wrinkled and gray.
Out through the misty glasses they gaze
at me- sitting here
Opening the quaint old cases with a smile
that is half tear.
l Will smile no more, little pictures, for
heartless 1t was, In truth
To drag to the cruel daylight these ghosts
of vanished youth.
90 back to your cedar chamber your
gowns and your lavender.
And dream, mid their bygone graces, of
the wonderful days that were.
