“1 am not old—’tho Time has set 
His signet on my brow, ' • 
And some faint furrows there have met. 
Which care may deepen now:— 
For in my heart a fountain flows. 
And round it pleasant thoughts repose, 
And sympathies and feelings high 
Spring like the stars on evening sky. 
Park Benjamin. 
Life hath sunshine—life hath shade, 
Life hath changes—many, 
Flowers there are that wither—fade, 
Then bloom as bright as any. 
Life's not all a summer’s day, 
Life with time is flying. 
With hearts perchance, ’tis always May, 
Still “ dust to dust ” is hieing. 
Life hath Spring, and Summer—Fall, 
Winter too must follow, 
Hearts may e’en the first recall. 
The last will find them hollow. 
Life hath morning—then the noou,— 
Life with night is ended, 
The last may find the heart too soon, 
Thus night with morn is blended. 
Hearts should then for aye retain 
The morn of life unclouded, 
Ah', thus will hearts at morn remain 
Till life in death be shrouded.

THE PAST YEAR. 
One year—a short and happy year. 
Of buoyant hopes and fears; 
One year—a long and weary year. 
Of sorrow and of tears. 
One year hath quickly flown to all. 
Who on the earth abide-, 
It stole away as silently, 
As steals the flowing tide. 
One year to youth—whose step is free, 
Whose life a sumiper dream. 
With ripples, just to music make. 
As flows the silver stream; 
One year to age—whose years fast wane. 
Whose race is nearly run— 
Watching the bright sands passing through 
This hour-glass, one by one. 
One to the mourner o’er the graves. 
Where dear friends long have lain— 
Whose tears have fallen on the flowers. 
As falls the summer rain. 
One year hath quenched the shining light. 
Of many dark-bright eyes; 
And many light feet wander now, 
’Neath more unclouded skies. 
One year the world hath colder grown. 
And loved ones seem estranged. 
But in the heart—a temple shrine, 
Affection hath not changed. 
One year hath blighted many hopes 
Immortal in their birth. 
And souls that soared on eagle wings 
Are drooping now to earth. 
One year hath gone—a deeper tone 
Is blent with music low; 
A something o’er my soul hath passed. 
That thrills me even now. 
The past—how many thrilling joys 
Have to its regions gone, 
That like the tones swept from a lyre, 
The sweetest seem when flown.
