Legend of the FOrget.Me-Not.

Along the rivers bank they strayed,

The maid was fair, with golden hair,
And eyes of azure hue.
And In one gu let, shady spot
They wandered to and fro
And one would "chaff," and one - ftiltd tatlHh
As lovers will, you know.
But presently they paused to gaze
Into the placid stream;
Inc bank was steep, the water deep,
But tranquil as dream,
At length the maiden fair espied
A flower of tiny size;
And 1t was blue, and pretty too,
Much like the maiden's eyesl
Look look II the maiden then exclaimed.
Wlth quick, excited tone;'
I'D feel sweet joy, without alloy,
To call that flower my own"
The words had scarcely passed her lips
Ere he had left her side;
This floral raid is for the maid
Who soon will be my BRIDE
Then to the waters edge he sped,
Down where the flower grew +;
And in his speed, he did not heed
His danger. All Es knew
Was that a wish had hecn expressed
By her; his love he'd prove.
lie gained the flower; but, in that hour,
The maiden lost her love.
He slipped; and, sinking meath the stream
His dark eyes sought one spot;
He cast the flower upon the shore,
And cried. Forget me not"

Gave needlework to Mrs. B.,
And at such news could scarcely choose

That she would track the scandal back

And asked her why, with cruel lie,
She painted her so deep dye?
