CHILDHOOD. 



A translucent stream is seen 

 Issuing from a deep cavern it 

 the side of a mountain. Float- 

 ing gently down the stream is a 

 gilded boat, made of the sculp 

 tured figures of the Hours; 

 while the prow is formed by the 

 present hour holding forth an 

 emblem of Time. It is filled 

 with flowers ; and on these a 

 little child is seated, smiling 

 with new-born joy as he looks 

 upon the unnumbered beauties 

 of the bright world around him; 

 while a guardian angel i at the 

 helm, with his wings lovingly 

 and protectiiigly extended over 

 the child. 



'Fair CHILDHOOD starts, illumed with 



light, 



.And pleasing visions trance the sight; 

 Thus launched to sail o'er life's broad 



stream, 



The first bright days are but a dream ; 

 While onward through the opening morn, 

 Still thoughtless of the gathering storm, 

 Outward the being's vessel sweeps, 

 To wider seas and mightier deeps." 



YOUTH. 



The Stream of Life is widened; 

 the youth has taken the helm 

 into his own hands and has 

 turned the prow straight t oward 

 a gorgeous temple in the dis- 

 tance, whose walLs are built on 

 clouds, heedless of the dangers 

 which may appear. 



"Then YOUTH arrives. How fair the 



How radiant upward shines the blue 1 

 How kindly blows the goutle liiveze 

 That whispers through the shading trees! 

 Enchanted youth ! With longing sight 

 He sees, aniid the distant light, 

 Magnificent, a temple rise, 

 And, raptured, tame and nonor cries." 



MANHOOD. 



The voyager is seen near the 

 verge of a cataract, while a fear- 

 ful storm rages arouud him. 

 The rudderless bark is just 

 about to plunge into the abyss 

 below, while the voyager (now 

 in the prime of manhood) is 

 imploring the only aid that can 

 avail him in the trying hour 

 that of Heaven. 



" Alas i too soon, with MANHOOD'S prime, 

 The stream displays the rage of time : 

 Wild lightnings play : mad thunders 



roar : 



The waves dash furious 'gainst the shore. 

 What now, O God I through this stern 



strife, 



Can keep the voyager, save his life ? 

 What, but Thy blessing and Thv care, 

 Who hear'st the troubled 'voyager's 



prayer." 



OLD AGE. 



The voyager, with hoary head, 

 has reached the point where the 

 waters of time and eternity 

 mingle together. The hour-glass 

 is gone. The old man is on his 

 kuees, with clasped hands and 

 eyes turned heavenward. The 

 angelis hovering just abovehim 

 to transport him home, while 

 countless angel faces look down, 

 upon him, "and above all
