I've wandered to The village, Tom,
I've sat beneath the tree
Upon the school-houso playground,
That sheltered you and me;
But mono were there 10 greet me, Tom,
For few were left you know,
That played with us upon the green,
Just twenty years ago.
The grass was just as green, Tom,
Barefootod boys at play,
We're sporting, just as VIC did then,
With spirits just as gay.
But tho MASTER sleeps upon the hill,
Which, coated Ger with snow,

Some twenty years ago.
The old school-houso is altered somei
The benches are replaced,
Bynew oues very Ike the same
Our jaok-knivcs had defaced.
But the same old bricks are in the wall,
The bel swings 10 and fro, t
Its music's just the same, dear Tom,
Twas twenty years ago.
The spring that bubbled meath the hill
Close by the spreading beech,
Is very low; twas once so high
That we could scarcely.reach;
And kaoeling down to take a drink,
Dear Tom, started so,
To think how very much Two changed
Since twenty years ago.
Near by that spring, upon an elm,
You know cut your name,
Your sweetheart just beneath Il, Tom,
And you did mine the same.
Some heaFtless wretch has peeled the bark
Twas dying sure, but slow,
Just as that one whose name you cut,
Died twenty years ago. SOD
My lids have long been dry Tom,
But tears came in my cyes;

Those early broken ties,

And took some flowers to strew
Upon the graves Of those we loved
Some twenty years ago.
Some are in the church-yard laid,
Some sleep beneath the sea;
But none are left Of our old class
Excepting you and me.
Aud when our time shall come, Tom,
And we are called 10 20,
hope they'll lay where wo played

MISCELLANEOUS READING.
WHO PAID FOR THE PRlMA DONNA

4 very amusing story IS told IN the Bos-
ton Atlantic Monthly for January, of the
manner in which the marriage of MademOi-
se!le Garcia was effected in New York. Eve
~ BODY who RENE N bers the old Park Theatre,
stys the New York Sunday Times, must
remember Malibrau, the glorious cshtatrice.
When she frst appeared jn that temple OF
,be muses., she was "sweet sixteen" and
"peautful as an angel" Her father pop
uIar tenor, was az avaricious as he was ec'
centric. According to the Atlantic, NJ. Mall
bran, having fallen in love with the ialr 'o.
ca!ist. undertook to purchase the warbler OF
her venal parent. The latter, nothing 10th
consented to dispose of her for the sum OF
fifty thousand dollars. Malibran, who was
a merchant 10 apparently good business here.
but really on the brink OF ruin, had not the
funds. lie purchased, however, for cash,
cargo of fine linen just arrived at this port
from Holland for the sum in question, and
while the importer was awaiting with impa-
tience his check for the amount proposed
to Signor Garcia O singular exchapge-Mall-
bran to take the lady, and Garcia the linen
goods in lieu of ready funds. AS q. was just
organizing an opera company with which TO
travel to Vera Cruz, and cargo OF fine linen
pomised TO be good venture in Mexico, q
bargain was concluded on the spot.
MademOiSelle Garcia became Madame Mai
ibran. For week the happy bridegroom
forgot all his business embarrasments 10 the
arms of his lovely wife. Signor g., then de-
parted for Mexico, and Monsieur Malibran
incontinenty failed. The Linen merchant
finding it impossible to compel NJ. to pay up,
and discovering that his goods were en- route
/ for Mexico, was in an ecstscy Of despair
/ The whole story of the wedding next came
out. 1t was he in reality, who paid for the
prima donna, and he had to endure the rid
/ icule, while Malbran was basking in the ls
dy's smiles, and rovelling in the enjoyment o'
her temporary affection. MIR. M. was thrown
into prison for debt 10 the meantime, u.
having sold all his fine linen at an exorbitsnt
price in Mexico, and realized an i'm mense
sum by bis operstic enterprise, was left pen
niless near Jalapan by corps OF bandits.
Malibran subsequently departed with her
husband to Europe, where, after earning
large sums of money, divorce, as all the
world knows, was obtained, and the oeauti-
/ ful prize flew to the arms of DE Be-iot "Who
paid for the Prims Donns" is capital
