POETRY.
The Old School. Room.
BY MINNIE wooDroRD.

My school-desk it is many year
Since in this little room
fingered DER my tiresome task,
And longed for noon to come:
Or watched the frightening shadows
Creep along he dusty floor,
And trie to catch one golden CLEAN
Ofsunshine through the door.
Here is the place cut my name,-
l fondly hoped 'twould last!
Another's hand has now effaeed
The record of the past.
But on the time-worn windoW-sill
The very words remain
In which tried to paint my love
To charming MARY Jane"
Methlnks / see the fairy now,
With carls of golden hue,
A mouth all dimpling into smiles,
And eyes of softest blue.
have a treasured curl l stole
Or that same golden hair;
Alas for womani Mary now
Is "forty. fat and tair.''
My scboolmates! ye are scattered tar,
And some are "gone before,''
oh, would that were happy child,
Beside that desk once more!
Where is the man who would not live
HIS childhood DER again
Who has not memories in his heart
OF some sweet "Mary ,Jane"!
