' DECAY.

0.‘ let the soul its sluinbcrs break— Arcusc its lenses, and awake, To see how soon Life, in its glories, glides away. And the stern footsteps ot decay . Come stealing on.

And while we viru‘ the rolling tide,

Down which our flowing minutes glide Away so fast,

Let us the present hour employ,

And deem each future dream a joy Already past.

Let no vain hope deceive the mind,

X0 liappior let us hope to find 'l‘o-uiorrow than to-dayl

Our golden dreams of yore were bright,

Like them the present shall delight— ].ike thein decay.

Our lives like hastening streams must be; That Into one cngalfiiug sea, Are doomed to fall— 'l‘hc sea of death, whose waves roll on O'er king and kingdom, crown and throne; And swallow itll.

Alike the river's lordly tide,

Alike the humble rivulct's glide,

To that sad wave!

Death lcvcls poverty and pride,

And rich and poor sleep side by side, Within the grave.

Our birth is but the starting place: Life is the running ofthc race, And death the goal; There all our glittering toys are brought—— 'l‘bat path alone, of‘ all unsnnght, It; found ofiill.

Sec, then. how poor and little worth Are all those glittering toys of earth, 'I‘hat hire us here; Dreams of a sleep that death must break ~. Alas! before it bids us wake, We disappear. Long ere the. damp of death can blight, 'l‘he choc-it's pure glow iif‘rcil and white ilas passed away; Youth smiled and all was heavenly fair; Ago came and laid his linger there, And where are they?

\\'here is the “1'ch that spurned decay, The step that rovcd so light uiul gay, ‘I‘he heart's blithc tone? The strength is gone. the step is slow. And joy grows wearisonie, and woe! Wheii age comes on!
