MORNING NEWS. “MY FATHER’S GROWING OLD.” BY ELIZABETH C. BARBER. My father’s growing old ; his eye Looks dimly on the page— The looks that round his forehead lie, Are silvered o’er by age; My heart hns learned too well the talo Which other tips havo told, His strength nnd years begin to fail— “My father’s growing old.” by the liquid ignited.^ The flames at once caught her dress, and in her terror she ran and threw her arms directly round the neck of the lady she was visiting. Her Screams were Irightful, and in struggling to release her self from the burning girl, they both fell upon the floor. Iu the mean while a ser vant girl ran in, and with great presence of mind, pulled up the carpet which she threw about her, while the lady of the house went for water. She returned as soon as possible, and taking a way the carpet which had only smothered the fire, threw on the, water and extinguished what remained. . J^ledical aid was had almost iminedi- di ately, and it was found that her hands, arms, neck and chest, were dreadfully burned almost to the bone, and her face also badly schorched. She continued in the most excrucia ting suffering on Saturday night, but the. that she might They tell mo, in my youthful years, He led me by his side, And strove to calm my childish Tears, My erring steps to guide. But years, with all their scenes of change, Above us both have rolled, I now mustguide his faltering steps— “My father’s growing old.” When sunset’s rosy glow departs, With voices full of mirth, Our household band with joyous hearts, Will gather ryund the heurtlr, They look upon his trembling form, His pallid fuce behold, And turn away, with chastened tone— “My father’s growing old.” And when each tuneful voice we raise, In songs of “long ago,” His voice which mingles in our lays Is tremulous and low, It hsed to sound a clarion’s tone, So musical and bold, But weaker, fainter has it grown— “My father’s growing old.” The same fond smiles he used to wear Still wreath his pale lips now, Bnt time with lines of age and caro Has traced his placid brow. Bat yet amidst the lapse of years His heart has not grown cold, Though voice and footsteps plainly tell— “My father’s growing old.” My father! thou didst strive to share My joys and calm my fears, And now thy child with grateful care, In thy declining years -Shall smooth thy path, and brighter scenes Bv Faith and Hope unfold; And love theo with a holier love Since thou art “growing old.” P RIVATE BOARDING HOUSE.— MRS.
