Mary Moore.
BY MARY w. STANLEY GIBSON.

CHAPTER I.
All my life long | had known Mary
Moore. All my life long, too, | had
known l loved her.
Our mothers were old playmates and
first cousins. My first recollection is
of a young gentleman in turkey-red
frock and morocco shoes, rocking a
cradle in w..ich reposed sunny haired
blue-eyed baby, not quite year old.
That young gentleman was /, myself.
Harry Church that blue-eyed baby
was Mary Moore.
Later still saw myself at the little
red school house, drawing my painted
sled up to the door, and arranging my
overcoat upon it, that Mary might ride
home. Many black eye have l gained
OH such occasions for other boys
liked her besides me, and she, am
afraid, was something of firt, even
in her pinafore. How daintily she
came tripping down the steps when l
called her name how sweetly her blue
eyes looked up to me from the envious
folds of her winter hood how gaily
her merry laugh rang out when by dint
of superhuman exertions, | kept her
sled before the rest, and let her stand
upon the steps exultingly to see them
all go by The fairy laugh! No one
but Mary could ever let her heart lay
SO upon her lips! l followed that
laugh up from my days of childhood
till / grew an awkward, blushing youth
II followed it through the heated
noon of manhood, and now, when the
frosts of age are silvering my hair, and
many children climb my knee and cal
me =" Father" find that the memories
of youth are strong, and that, grey
hairs and all, am following that music
still. When l was fifteen, the. frs
great sorrow of my life came upon me
was sent away to a western school
and was obliged to part with Mary
We were not to see each other for three
long years! This, to me, was like ;
sentence of death. For Mary was lik'
life itself to me.
But hearts are tough things after all
| left college in all the flush ant
vigor of my nineteenth year. wa
no longer awkward and embarrassed
| had. grown into tall, slender strip
ling, with very good opinion of my
self in general and particular. If
thought of Mary Moore, it was to i'm
agine how | would dazzle and bewil
der her with my good looks and won
derful attainments, never thinking tina
she might dazzle and bewilder me sti
more; | was sad puppy / know; bu
as youth and good looks have fled,
trust may be believed when / say tina
self conceit has left me also.
An advantageous proposal was mad
to me at this time, and accepting it,
gave up all ideas of profession, an
prepared to 60 to the Indies. In m
hurried visit home, of two DAYS, l sa,
nothing OF Mary Moore. She ha
gone to boarding school in Masss
chusetts, and was not expected hom
till the next fall. gave one sigh {
the memory Of my little blue-eyed play
mate, and then called myself a "ma
again" = s-
