i franklin times p 4. F. JOHNSON. Editor and Manager ? ????7- O - Friday, ^ugust 11 ??1 Wasted Days- ? % (Republished by request.) I i backward look on many days loug t' spent, h . , Days wreathed in sunshine, and in - *$)' lovely flowers, ilVhen life was young, and I with care- '' less ease, p Filled all those days with vain and sel- r< fish hours. 'A. jc One day, 1 fain would drive its memory a from my heart, ffelay when dimpled arms in fond caress ntwined my neck, and this mute ap- ? peal J ti Told me of want and ijgjprty's distress, y I turned away this helpless, childish h face, ? And gaye not to its wants by word or deed, I know not that a loving act that day, o Would make a joy that I today much j< need. , .. _ And then a youth unmarked by worldly t| care j, Had lost a mother's hand to guide bis feet. His honest eyes ,looked frankly into mine, ? 'y And asked for guidance to a pure re- j treat, I Where earth's temptations came to him no more, " Bon thorns of pain to pierce his un- a tried feet. I I told to him no story of the bon placed within his eager, hand The lamp to guide his orphan steps a aright, J Did earthly woes, to our Father's land, e One day a beggar, cold and bent with 1 ? ' . age I Came to my door and asked that I j would give Out of my bounty, just a meager part,That he might onward go, that be might live. . I I gave no word to cheer the heart so j sore, i But closed my selfish home to him and gave , No cup of water to the aged poor, ' And so that the seed poured at my s very feet, , a Have lain unsown through many days and years And now I have no sheaves of grain to reap. " a Nothing 0 heart, but grief and bitter ; tears. O little deed that never has been done, , O little word that never has been said! With wasted days, and manv an un- ' t sown seed, , ' | J?ith thoughts of these, the soul can- t K not be fed- 1 ?Lufie Cooke Foster.
