MOORE’S RURAL NEW-YORKER: AN AGRICULTURAL. LITERARY AND FAMILY NEWSPAPER. 
-Jmliff. 
CONDUCTED BY AZ1LE. 
Written for Moorc’H ltural New-Yorker. 
“BY AND BY.” 
Suggostei by an article on the same subject in a late 
number of the Rural. 
A school-boy sits with a troubled look, 
And a frown is on his brow, 
He has pondered long o’er that tiresome book, 
He is tired and weary now. 
But quickly a glad and joyous light 
Beams forth from his dark, bright eye ; 
He thinks of the future with promise bright, 
And whispers, “by and by.” 
A youth is standing with folded arm, 
And a brow- with thought o’ercast; 
His cheek is flushed with the life-blood warm. 
And his heart beats high and fast. 
And noble purpose, and stern resolve 
Are stamped on his forehead high, 
And glorious thoughts in his breast revolve, 
As he murmurs, “ by and by.” 
And manhood, with labor and busy care, 
Is wearing his life away ; 
Toil, constant toil, from year to year, 
No quiet by night or day. 
With anxious brow and aching heart, 
He heaves the deep drawn sigh ; 
But he looks with joy to a coming rest, 
And whispers, “by and by.” 
And age leans weary on his staff, 
His sands are almost run ; 
Gone, are life’s fleet and transient joys, 
Set is life’s morning sun. 
Yet falters not the weary hand, 
Bright is the sunken eye ; 
He sees, by faith, the “ better land,” 
And murmurs, “ by and by.”
