GOLDEN DAYS.

By V. R. Balfour-Browne.

Whilst writing what I have already said about stalking I recollected the following verses, which I intend to keep and read for my encouragement in days to come—days which are, I hope, still very far off:

NORTHWARD BOUND

(Once More)

Does your heart still beat with the old excitement

As you wait where the Scotch expresses are?

Does it answer still to the old indictment
