Miss Alta Barnes recited the
following poem , written by Ed
Blair of Spring Hill , Kan.
The years are passing Cornelia ; " "
Yes , the years are passing fast ,
The year just gone , it seems to me ,
Went quicker than the last.
Our heads are tinging now with gray.
Our steps not quite so sure ;
Bui then I'm not complaining , dear ,
For blessings still endure.
We'll have ' trie children here again ,
Yes'i'all of them today ,
.Except i ie little ones once ours .
„
ONCE OURS , now passed away.
How fast the years are flying now ,
Wliatahanges swift they bring !
Sweet joy TO some , to others pain
Worse than the adder's sting ,
Ah , well for us. yes , well , Indeel ,
We cannot know today
L'he joys or grief that future flays
Have for us stored away , '
An angel hand may guide us yet
For years before we part.
The hands of frienis be needed soon
To bind a broken heart.
Oh , long has been the road , dear wife ,
Yet swift the time has llown ;
Our tables stay with us so short ,
Now all of them are grown.
But home , sweet home , still calls tbem back .
From distant climes away.
Aua round our bounteous table here
. We'll have them all today ,
Yes ; have them all. YES ALL , but OHO
Whose little chair still stays
In its accustomed place for her ,
Our pride of other Jays.
We're growing old , yes , growing old ,
I feel it every day
The work that worries now at much
Would once have been but play.
The yard , the fence , the shrubs , the trees.
And buildings call to mu ,
For work , yes , work r cannot d o
If T would e'er be free.
And so I've closed my eyes to the.n
To let them only rest
Upon the ( lowers along the road
I love to ramble best.
And when the children come ted ty ,
I trust they still can say ! '
Though the old hne is showing age
Our hearts are young and gay.
Following the recitation several
beautiful ] songs were sung by the
company and Mr. and Mrs. Barnes
