 WHEN MEMORY LOOKS BACK 8 BT 2. BowRING, EsQ. When memory looks back OD the record of years, Ere reason and feeling decays Ere the footsteps leave in this valley of tears, Are swept to oblivion away; 'Tis sweet, when delight has been sOber'd by age. To glance on its mirrors againi To glide Der the clouds of adversity's page- They seem not 90 desolate then. As the tempest brings caloh the hOar frost '""t

 springs

 At the dawniNg, dsperseS in day. So the sun through the shade of vlciss'tude n'ngT A beautiful light our way; Aod DassiOn and rapture, when tempered by thought No trace ofunhappiness leave; Even gret, when remember'd has tranquility taught How vain, how ungraseful to grieve. Life's briers and roses-its gladness and gloom, Do they vanish together ?-Oh, no! The fow'rets we pluck, and condense their perfume The weeds to the desert we throw; Like the bee thoughts fly the field of the past, Finding sweets wheresoever they roam: They wander through sunshine and storm, and at last Store nought but their honey at home.
