My days pass pleasantly away.
My nights are blessed with sweetest sleep,
I foe! no symptom of decay,
I have no cause To mourn *>i weep ;
My foes are impotent and shy,
And yet of late I often sigh—
; I’m growing old I
My growing talk or olden times. •
My growing thirst foUearly news,
My growing apathy to rhymes,' , .
Hy growing h ye qfea.-y shoes,,
My growing hate pfo-rowds and noise.
My growing fear of catching cold,
Ali tell me in the plainest voice—
I’m growing old !
I’m growing fonder of mv stuff.
I'm glowing dimmer in the eyes,
I’m growing fainter in my laugh,
I’m glowing. Peeper in my sighs,
I m growing careless of my dress,
1’ growing frugal of my gold.
I’m growing wise. I’m - growing—yes—.
I rn grooving old I
I feel it in my changing lasts,
I see it in my changing hair,
I see it in my growing waist,
and I see it in my growing lieii ;
A thousand hints proclaim the truth,
As plain as truth was ever told,
That even in my vaunted youth—
I’m growing old 1 •
Ah me ! my very laurels breathe
The tale in my re luctant ears ;
And eveiy boon the hours bequeath
Rut makes me debtor to the years ;
E’en flattery’s honeyed words declare
L’he secret she woubi lain withhold,
And tell me in “How young you are !’’
I’m growing old !
Thanks for the years whose rapid flight
My sombre muse tod gladly sings ;
Thanks for the gleams of gulden light
That tint the daikuess of their wings ;
The light that beams from out the sky,
Those heavenly mansions to unfold;
IV he re all are blest and nine shall sigh
I’m growing old !

of walking, square ucross each other’s path

Peters called him in to repeat something
good that he had said to Lewis. "The old
fellows all seemed happy, for tticlr faces
were atf in a light blaze. It Was pleasant
to see at once three men, the youngest’ ot
whom had been over thirty years in uctira
life, and all still hale hearty; Trie in**
terview was short, but evidently cordial
and.pleasant. We heard Lewis thank the
Judge for having granted the society every
request they had made of him, and referred
to the now and enlarged privilege grant
ed by the railroads of carrying three deter
gates hvru each Comity society to aud from
the c nvention of the 16th of August, with*,.,

straightened hiinself, and with a tone of
voice full of meaning, end not without
emotion, said; I am dead against
