TIME AND BEAUTY
■1 )■:• ■..■ - >». , ■ • • The following exquisite little moroeau is from the pen of Mr Austin Dobson :— " The rose m the garden slip'd her bud, And she laughed m the pride of her youthful blood, . . : As she thought of the gardener standing by — •He ia older how — he Boon will die.' The fall rose wax'd m the warm June air, And she spread, and spread, till her heart lay bare, , ; And she laughed again as she heard his tread ~' He is older now — he will soon be dead IV But the breeze of the morning-blew and found The leaves of the blown rose Htrew'd on the
ground, And he dame at noon, that gardener old, And raked them softly under the mould. And I wove the thing to a random rhyme, < For the rose ia Beauty— the gardener, Time."
