Tlie Old C*rt Horne.
He had nerved his muster many yearn,
But hln life drew near ltd end;
From a little colt to an old cart hone,
He had been a faithful friend,
rt !• master n ;ver stopped to think
AJ the days went fleet lug by,
That he’d grow old
Or perhapn he Mold,
Ere It came hln time to die,
^he pooro’il horse was blind as a bat,
As he ntiurgoil along (lie road;
The farther he went the weaker he grew*
As he staggered to pull the load;
Till finally he stopped toglan hln strength.
„ Again an I again he tried
To pull the loud
Up the hilly road,
Till he dropped In the nhalven and died.
It is so with me, as I stagger along,
Struggling with bitter strife;
The Airther I go, the heavier the load,
1 must pull up the hill of life,
But I'll do rr>y bent, ns long ns I can.
And whoa I nm dead and gone,
, Then the world will say,
* That I panne I away,
I.llce a home, with Ids harness on.
