Orrattnn
(By Mrs. j. j. Fyckes. }

Six thousand years this earth through space hath
More than six million would be nearer truth
When Adam lived she had outlived her youth,
Ages Eden boomed the world was old!
All, many million must have passed
Since the first through heavens dome did spe
Since the first star did circle through the vast
If first star there indeed
They not meant as candles with their light
To cheer our hearts and guard us from all ill;
They were not made ornaments for night
Older than earth, purpose they fulfill.
The tropic fruits that petrfed found
In cold Siberias mines, tale can tell
OF ages past, when tropic beauty gowned
The arctic lands where bear and reindeer dwell
Then came the glacial period !-Sleet and snow!
Frozen in ice the mighty mammoth died
In arctic circles found his tusks and hide
Conception give of the long ago.
Blue-grass blade. [volume] (Lexington, Ky.) 188?-19??, 1909-09-26

And when the age af man dawned upon earth
Eons and cons passed Who'll count them, say
Races waxed great, declined and passed away,
And empires as they had ne'er had birth.
We hear of Babylon, of Nineveh, ..5...
Of Carthage, Thebes and Tyre-Ah but they,
Queen cities in their pride, their luxury,
Are only of the race of yesterday!
Who knows but that even great cities may
Lie buried underneath the ages pail!
Nations whose memory man may not recall
Forgotten, dead, though earth they once did sway
Still man, when first created, was not-no,
A perfect being who through sin did fall
Dominion death had ever over all
That conscious or unconscious life did know.
Prmeval man was nearer to the brute
Than man in later ages Perfect Nay!
Trace evil back to him, not to EYES fruit.
Sin sprang from instincts he must needs obey
