occasionally falls under my eye. and In your
paper uf Feb, 9th, read, TO my great amuse-

"lhe Boys" read, probably'at the last meet.
iag of the Harvard college class Of 1920,
which met, perhaps last year, after q separa-
lion Of nearly thirty years, II reminded me
Of a scene which transpired more thar fifty
years ago, Of which merry company am
now sole survivor. The last evening Of the
18th century was spent at ~ Maize, in
high glee by four young men, brothers, then
at the ages Of 20, 10. ~ and 10. with their
only sister Of n, and another young lady Of
about the same age, an intimate friend Of
the family. Some thirty years after, the sis
ter, then widow, was visiting the former
young lady then an invalid, and for tho
amusement Of both wrote the following
lines -
"REcoLLEcTIoSs or THE PAST"
"where are the spirits 30 gay aud 40 green
