Life.

My life is like the summer rose
That opens to the morning sky,
But ere the shades of evening close
Is scattered on the ground to die
Yet on the roses humble bed
The sweetest dews of night are shed,
AS If she wept the waste to see.
But none shall weep a tear for me-
My life is like the autumn leaf
That trembles in the moons pale ray;
Its hold is frail, it's date is brief,
Restless and soon to pass away.
Yet ere that leaf shall fall and fade
The parent tree will mourn its shade,
The winds bewail the leafless tree.
But none shall breathe a sigh for me.
My life is like the prints which feet
Have left on Tampa's desert strand;
Soon as the rising tide shall beat
All trace will vanish from the sand,
Yet, as if grieving to efface
All vestige of the human race,
On that lone shore loud means the sea-
But none, alas, shall mourn for mel

hands should not be sunk deep under
the water, as nothing so tends to raise
the body. The object is TO keep the
body as nearly horizontal as possible
and to propel it straight forward with
out raising it. AS the arms are brought
around in the movement described the
lower limbs are stiffened and brought
firmly together.
Diving is Il sport which has been TAX
