To Be a Boy Again.

Oh that ! were boy again,
With lots of wealth at my command
With form and beauty of face and limb,
Brain and grace of a gentleman.
What would do, would then arise:
l would study arts AID win its heights.
would travel the world, till was full
Then retire with my angel girl.
l would build a house, mansion fair,
With the cellar the largest room by far;
Filled with inspiration for body and soul,
Then laugh at the age OF Methuselah.
No dull care should enter there;
Music and books, and arts so fair,
Congeuial spirits from everywhere
Too wise to change and sleep if tired
To be the boy with those delights,
Our cup SCENE full of enjoyments;
All this. with wisdom's timely kiss,
Wisdom and love which shine the face.
would like to be n boy again,
Though wealth never should command.
With health and share of perfect brain
/ would study hard to be the man.
If my dear parents were very poor,
Too poor to school, but rich in soul;
To help me on in my no work hour,
would study books with all my power.
l would study hard, till the world would see
There's something great of depth in me;
So that their depth could mot withhold
But help me on, to fame and gold.
Oh to be boy in either case,
Though the poorer birth might be the best;
A self-made man, with purer tastes,
Cleaving like age, the better thoughts.
Oh ! to be boy, boy again,
would live for purpose, when a man;
And escape the faults of fragmental life
man with an object, and that one right.
o, what we miss by thoughtless life,
No fixed purpose, no model that's right;
We know it when old, but the young mus be
told,
Least they fail and cringe, when they should be
bold.

And follow the leading of his heart.
1t tells the truth, in his early life,
Even to-guide in choosing wife.
How we should feel to be boy again,
To drink the sweets, without restrai
And climb up the ladder of honest praise:
Honered and loved, to our full of days.
Then, to the grave we'll go with honor,
And on our mound, the forget-me-not flower
Our spirits shall live, in that song the best:
In the ocean of space, with no regrets.

to take internally strong, opiate drugs for
