Time is .so ...swift, and Lifo so short—to-day's '/the time to choose. -. Don't play with me. at hide-and-seek, lest we chance to hide and lose! . ■> What kind of world would it bo at nil, if tho nightingale mimicked the owl?— .If the sun should play at being cold?—tho flowers, at smelling foul?
If smiles, sho.uld■ wear/ the mask of frowns?— if honey should taste like-gall?— If love should feign Indifferenco, what world wonld it bo at -all? '. ■
