A Line o Cheer Each Day o the Year,
By JOHN KENDRIcK BANGS.

First printing Of an original poem written daily
for The Washington Herald.
EXTERNALS
When ills beset me and my face
Begins Of Age to show trace,
And my bent form 1.-THE and bold
Gives signs that it is growing old
When here and there line appears
On cheek and brow to prove my years,
do not sigh to find them there,
Grim tokens OF life's wear and tear,
For deep within there dwells in truth
The spirit of abiding youth.
And in my soul turks ne'er a doubt
'Tis but the that's wearing out.
