«% LAHOKST* Cin JTIW I'WTIOS. TUESDAY MORNING.. --May 22, 1866 r Growing Old. Touch in, oh Thao ! with light hand as you pass, Tempt a* to think it a loving caress ; Trett«l on our hearts, too, with reverent care— Crush not the flowers of life blooming there ; Furrow our foreheads with care if you will, But lot youta linger within our hearts still. 'Mid our dark tresses are fibres of gray— Silent reminders of life’s fleeting day $ And when we turn to the shadowy pnat, On its bright altars lay ashes and dust; All its fair idols nre marked with decay— Ail its sweet pictures arc faded away. wo look for the friendship of the past — They of strong heart and the beautiful trust ; Some we fiud sleeping beneath sculptured stone; Some toiling wearily onward alone; Some thro’ ambition grown heartless and cold. But one all, save the dead, growing old. Oft we grow weary in watching in vain O’er hopes that always but shadows remain ; Weary of couuting the joys that have died ; Weary of laying bright, visions aside : Weary of taking but dro»s for pure gold ; Weary, so weary, of growing old. Chase from us, Time, all shadowy fears; Lift from our lives the slow burden of years, .Shadow our foreheads and sprinkle our hair, But oh, shield our hearts from the furrows of care, Let not tho heart grow selfish or bold, And we shall no longer fear to grow old.
