THE COMMON FATE OF ALL
THINGS RARE.”
(By Harriet Prescott Spofford)
What is it to grow old? To fare
With gathering silver in the hair,
Unwelcome. And to see, perchance,
The bloom forsake the countenance,
The red the lip; the simple change
Yo something pitiful and strange;
To see the tremulous thin hand
Where the blue veins like traitog
stand ;
To see each morning in the glass
A gray and weary specter pass
Across the face of youth—-ah me,
We half forgot had ceased to be!

hing home. It was a Novem-
afternoon and already growing
dusky. The huge vegetable van with
which he had driven into the city had
rattled emptily behind him for miles
and miles, and he longed for a sight
of Rosa Miranda at the back door do-
ing something, for she was always do-
ing something. The crunching of one
palm against the other as he prepared
his pipe for a smoke reminded him
of old Mossy Face, who by this time
shomld be milked and happily crunch
ing her evening meal. He clucked up
the horses at this, and as he did so
he noticed that the head of the off
korge sagged more than usual The
horse seemed all legs and got over
the ground as if that saesging head
served him no good purpose.
The sag was very pronounced,
and in his meditative mocd made Cor

randa’'s akirts Somehow when he

never in his memory worn a skirt
