LIFE'S KINDLY GHOSTS.
When we are old and time has served Our 8 house of life deserted by desire ; And warmed no .lougor by tlio eager That once blazed bright of purpose and Its shadow'd chambers desolate and still That echoed tlion to sound of lute and lyre; • \ , • . . And pleasure now a guept whost visit 3 Charm he with ne'ersuch. nimble wit and skill.
•Xia then there come the kind and gracious ghosts , , Of dead delights and joys short-livod and sweet j _ ■ We sail Wresh to dim enohanted coasts: We share with love wide kingdoms ol romance; ' , Fame's fairy piper lurei our restless feet; , . And youth's mad music Bets our heart# a-dance. , , ~ ,„ ' —G. Duncan Grey, in the Outlook.
