A TRIBUTE.

 , Affectionately inscribed to the ven- erable Nehemiah Bloss on the occasion of his 8Oth birthday anniversary by T. w. Stowe of Milford. lae Twenty nine thousand, three hundred
 days
 Have cast their shadows, or shining
 rays, Upon thy head; may many succeed
 them, And blessings follow as you need them. A half score year beyond the span. Allotted to the life of man. Oh how dearly kind friends treasure, Every year beyond that measure. Our lives pass quickly, short or long, Sad days, and days of joyous song, Speed swiftly on, nor art nor reason, May retard the heeting season. But when footsteps falter and pleas
 ures pale, . May faith and courage never fail, And when at last the hour shall come, May our kind Father welcome thee
 home.
