WE ALL DO 11ADel AS A LLAT'.
All that's of earth is subject to decay,
The brightest flowers aro first to fade
away,
Tho fairest forms that Nature doth afford
Spring up and wither, just liko ;Jonah's
gourd,
Mr mortal bodies swift as shadows fly
Transient as v.tpor floating in the sky,
Change and decay are marked on things
below,
Aa dust ,hey are, they unto dust shall go.
And faces bright, thus unto mortals
strange
By sickness blighted, and in death cloth
ohange,
Nor cloth this change fair Nature's vernal
flowers d cay,
But blooms fruitous iu eternal day.

With the prettiest wardrobes that ever

And wo take great delight in keeping

Till her face and her hands were as red

On a lino by the stove, where they could
get dry,
And when we wore through, I'm proud to
confess,
They looked as if done by a first -plass
