GROWING OLD.
(By John Bratt.)
A little moro tired at tho closo of day,
A llttlo loss anxious to have my way,
A llttlo less ready to scold and
blame,
A llttlo more caro for a brothor's
natno;
And so I am ncaring my Journoy's and
Whoro TImo and Etornlty meet and
menu.
4
A llttlo less care for bonds and gold,
A llttlo moro zest In tho days of old,
A broader vlow and a sanor mind,
Ana a llttlo moro love for all man
kind; 1
A llttlo moro caroful of what I say,
And thus ' I am traveling down tho
way,
A little moro lovo for tho friends of
youth,
A llttlo less zeal for established truth,
A llttlo moro charity In my views,
A llttlo loss thirst for tho daily
news; , .
And so I am folding- my tout away
And passing In sllonco at closo of day.
A llttlo moro tlmo to Bit and droam,
A llttlo moro real aro tho things
unsoon.
A llttlo bit noaror to thoso ahoad,
With visions of thoso long loved
and (load;
And ho I am going whoro all milst go
To a placo tho living may novor know.
A llttlo moro laughter, a fow'moro
tears,
And I will havo told my Increasing
years, .
Tho book will bo closed and tho
prayers bo said,
And I will bo ono or tho countloss
, dead;
Thrlco happy, then, If some soul can
Bay
I lived bocauso ho has passod this
way.
1 SATURDAY NIGHT.
(By John Bratt.)
When tho toll of tho week dayB aro
ovor
And rest comoa to niusclo and brain,
Thoro'e a fooling of poaco and thanks
giving For rosplto from wearlsomo strain.
Then tho tasks and tlio cares aro for
gotton, Tho hearts that woro heavy grow
light,
For tho weary aro thon realizing
Tho blessings or Saturday night.
Timo of rest, by tho millions awaited,
How gladly its coming thoy groot,
For it takes thom from tlio din of tho
workshop
Tho Btrifo of tho mart and tho street
Llko tho vessels long tosBed by tho
ocean
That gladly some friendly port sook,
Thoy rojoico as thoy enter tho havon
That's found at tho end of tho weok.
Thon tho brain that lo wcarlod'or
thinking,
Tho hand thut is stiffened by toll,
Find a soason or sweet relaxation
That's frco from all caro and turmoil.
Then tho smiles come agaln to tho
faces
And laughter floats out on tho air,
Tho complaints and tho sorrows aro
banished
And all In tho gayoty sharo.
There's a wholo day or rost still bo-
foro thom,
But swiftly its moments will fly,
So tho tonics and tlio enrca aro for-
gottan, T
And tho hoartn that woro heavy grow
light
WJi earth's' wttary Millions Uius
wot com o
Tho coming of Saturday night.
