Amid the sparkling life of youth, Enshrined in beauty's tavern; I read the glaring lines of truth, Their meaning first to fathom. Years have passed their weary way, The youth grows into man; And as I wander o'er the lea, The human turns to sand. Life ill-spent is worse than lost; Why can there wonder be. When youth stands on the sinful brink, My conscience turns to me? A second thought, a new desire, Runs rampant in my breast. The thoughts of her stamps out the fire, In peace 'my soul doth rest. But men do come and men do go, And as I linger here, The face of her runs to and fro; Ilow can I have a fear? The gloom of time o'erwhelms me, 'l With yearly strides I seek my grave. May God forbid my eyes to see The passing of my maid. - ,'14. Doings of the Y. M. C. A. Dyches Hall, the recent addition to the Y. M. C. A. building, was dedicated last Wednesday evening.
