LIFE THAT LASTS.

THEY err who measure life by years With false or thoughtless tongue. Some hearts grow old before their time; Others are always young. 'Tis not the number of the lines On life's fast-filling page, 'Tis not the pulse's added throbs Which constitute their age.
Some souls are serfs among the free, While others nobly thrive; They stand just where their fathers stood, Dead, even while they live. Others, all spirit, heart, and sense, Theirs the mysterious power To live in thrills of joy or wo A twelve-month in an hour.
He liveth long who liveth well! All other life is short and vain; He liveth longest who can tell Of living most for heavenly gain. He liveth long who liveth well! All else is being flung away; He liveth longest who can tell Of true things truly done each day. —Anon.
