-From the Connecticut Courant. THE OLD M AN. Why parr ye on my hoary hair. Ye children young: and gay ? Your locks, beneath the blast of care, Will bleach as white as they. I had a mother once like you, Who oer my pillow hunsr, Kus'd from my cheek the briny devr, And taught my lalternc tongue. Sh. ,tvhcn the nightly couch was spread, Would bow my infant knee, And place her hand upon my head, And kneeling pray for me. But then there came a rVarful day, I sought my mothrr's bed, Till harth hands bore me thence away, And told me she was dead. I plurk'd a fair white Rose, and stole To la; it by her side, And thought strange sleep cnchuiu'J her toul, For no fond roice replied. That ere, I knelt me down in woo And said a lonely prajer. Yet still my temples seemM to glow As if that hand were there. Years flrd and left me childhood's joy, Gay sport and pastimes tit ar, I to a wil I and wayward by. Who scornM the curb of fear. Fierce passions shook me like a reed, Yet, i re at nicht I sir pt. That solt hand ai ide my bosom bleed, And down 1 fell anil wept. "Youth caan the props of virtue rcel'd ! But oft at dajs decline, A marble touch my brow congeal'd Blest mother! was it thine? In foreign lands I travelled wide. My pule was bounding high, Viet spread her meh s at tuy side, And pleaure lur'tl my eye: Yet, still t.'mt hand, so oft and cold, MaintamM it mvtic wn, As when an:id my curls of gold With gentle force it lay.
