The Brides story.
BY MUssETrA MAYNARD.


When was country lass, now fifteen
years ago,
lived where flows the old brook
through meadows wide and low,
There first, when skies were bending
blue and blossoms blowing free,
saw a ragged little boy who went to
school with me.
His homespun coat was frayed and
worn. with patched covered DER,
His hat-oh! such a hat as that WAS
never seen before
The boys and girls, when first he came,
they shouted in their glee,
And jeered the ragged little boy who
went TO school with M.
His father was a laboriug man, and
mine was highly born;
Our people held him and his in great
contempt and scorn;
They said should not stoop to own a
playmate such as he,
The bright-eyed little boy who went to
school with me.
Yet spite of all the sneersa ground from
children better dressed,
Ny heart went ont to meet the heart that
beat within his breast:
His look was fond; his voice was low,
and strange as it may he,
loved the ragged little boy who went
70 school with me.
For years they had forgotten him, but
when again we met.
His look, his voice, his gentle ways, re-
manned in memory yet;
They saw alone the man of mark, but ]
could only see
The bright-eyet, ragged little boy, who
went to school with me.
He had remembered me, it seemed, as !
remembered him;
Nor time, nor honors, in his mind the
cherished past cOHld dim;
Young love had grown to older love, and
so to-day. You see,
wed the ragged little boy that went 10
school with me.
