THE OLD MAN'S DREAM.
.,.Oh, for one hour of youthful joy,
:U Give back my twentieth spring;
h I'd rather laugh a bright-haired loy,
Than reign a bearded king.
One moment let my life-blood stream
C From boyhood's "fount of flame !
. Give me one giddy, feeling dream
a Of life, all love and fame.
My listening angel heard the prayer,
j And, calmly smiling, said :
."If I but touch thysilver'd hair
; Thy hasty wish "hath sped.
"But is there nothing in tliy'trutdv
'f To bid thee fondly stay,
I While the swift seasons "hurry back
V': To find the wished for day?"
HAh, truest sduI of womankind !
- Without thee what terj life !
'One bliss I cannot leave'oehind ;
? I'll take rriy precious wife!
The angel took a sapphire pen
i And wrote in rainbow dew',
" "'The man would be a boy again,
And be a husband too !"
-v I . . i
, "And is there nothing yet unsaid
; Before the change appears ?
i Remember, all their gifts have fled
With those dissolving years."'
Why yes : for memory would recall
. My fond paternal joys,
I could not bear to leave them all
i ; I'll take mv girls and bovs!
The smiling angel dropped his pen j
"Why this will never do;
; The man would be a bov again,
And be a father too !"
: And so I laughed my laugh awoke
' The household with its noise
V And wrote my dream when morning
broke,
To please the grey-haii 'd boys.

she rounded the bend at fijll speed. I
knew that I didn't have too much time
to get the switch in position, and went
at-my work" with a will, when suddenly I
heard a child's scream, and turning round
I saw little Willie struggling in the water.
For ah instant the sight of my child's
danger overpowered every other consid
eration, and I sprang for the river ; but
before I'd got half the distance, the hoarse
whistle of the approaching train rang in
my ears like a trumpet, and thoughts of
my.' duty, hundreds of Uvea that would
be sacrificed if I deserted my post, went
like a flash of lightning through my brain,
while all the time there was a feeling
about my heart I can t tell in word I
only, knew it was worse than death be
seeching me to pave my boy.
' The whole thing couldu't have lasted
mom than two seconds; and how the one
feeling got the better of the other I never
knew, I have no recollection of turning
back, but the next thing I remember I
was at the switch working away r like
mad. I never had such strength. Ti felt
that I could have wrenched up the rails
in my atrony, and bent them like a straw,
and j'et ldid not seem to see anything
distinctly, neither rails nor ties but dim
ly and vatfuelv. as if in a dream, or at a
great distance. "
'What I did see as plainly as I do now,
although. .it was behind me, was the clear
and beautiful river,flowiDgon in the morn
ing sun, and in the midst of it my little
Willie struggling for life; while the bright,
cruel waves smote bim in the face and
laughed. k1 had no care for the roaring
of tho nearing train ; but all I hoard or
seemed to, for I can't rightly: say were
his cries to his father for help, growing
fainter, and fainter, and then the horrible
bubbling sound, as he sank finally, and
his la9t breath found its way to the sur
face. 1
