NOW.

Friend, II you love me. now, today.
Tell me while / can heed and hear;
vain, vain, as dew DER rose rent, gray,
Tears fall upon a bier.
wouldst blossoms send with sigh and
tear
When 1 am gone? Lo! send them now;
The cold, dead heart twill little cheer
That lilies deck the brow.
Tell me you understand and feel.
Your tenderness, esteem, confess;
wait not, beloved, to sobbing kneel,
To lifeless lips caress.
wouldst praise bestow? With some,
crave,
The present hour felicitate;
The fondest words breathed DER a
grave
Re-echo but too late.
we all have our infancy, many OF us
youth; fewer are vouchsafed TO reach
middle age, and a blessed chosen fewer
are singled out to be granted the priv
ilege of old age. Then why should
those who are so selected to enjoy this
suecfal favor be so often prone to self
ishness? and why should they take
advantage of 1t in their demands OF the
young as If they had been singled out
by fate to suffer under a curse instead
of live under a special blessing?
There are too sides to this, as to all
other questions; and while there is
nothing more beautiful than the loving,
careful, tender solicitude of youth to-
ward old age, there, too, is nothing
sweeter than an attitude of unself1sh
regard from the aged toward the young
who may not be permitted to enjoy
the boon of a completed life. I have
known many a youth with the joy
squeezed out by the demands of the
old who have forgotten the ecstacies
of the pleasures that have been out
lived Or If remembering are willing
to deprive their young of enjoying
them It should be the effort of those
who have been granted the privilege of
long life to keep themselves in as
close touch with the young as possible.
To remember! to remember! And then
there will not be the gulf between
the old and the young that so often
keeps them apart.
3SS
One of the saddest things in life is
the perfunctory- duty manner in the
young to look after the old when the
tables are turned and it falls to them
youth. The old look after the young
as II 1t were a glorious privilege. The
young do for the old as if it were a
duty performed that should place a
halo about their head. I know a wo-
man who invested her youth and its
every energy in the rearing of three
boys whom the early death of n he
loved sister had left her. These boys
filled her life and on to the end of
college days her task was well done.
though in its doing untold sacrifice was
necessary, and made with a heart full
OF Joy In the doing of It. When once
a friend said to her: Better save
something, FOR a dav will come when
you will realize that II would have
been wiser TO have thought of the rainy
day that is sure to come in old age"
She said with face beaming With
loving pride: D
