s.HAEC OHM MEMINISSE JUVABIT.' -

Do YOU remember, sister mine, how we
Attended country school long years ago,
Where purple autumn veiIed the distant hills,
And frost had set the forest trees aglow!
Do you remember how, III esrly morn,
While yet the dewdroes fingered on the
grass,
Ere busy reapers toiled amid the corn
Adown the shady lane we used to pass.
The woodlands echoed with our merry song
Our hearts were e'er as happy as could be
We named the largest trSes the road along,
And conjured up strange stories in our
glee;
Do YOU remember them.
Do Won remember where the hazels grew,
And where the wild grapes purple clusters
hung.
And WHOM the autumn wind so gently blew
How gracefully the vine leaves danced and
swung.
Do you remember where we used TO pass
In the long lane so dusty and SO brown,
Harry and Hockey" who in childish play
Were calling 'Doodles up.' and 'Doodies
down."
You've not forgotten all the schoolmates gay
Who met within the classic shades
OF old Swamp College, while each passing
day
Brought pleasures new, whose memory
never fades:
Do YOU remember these.
Do YOU remember how at eventide
We sought old ''Bunker's7 quiet, shady
side.
And there would watch the sunset fade
away,
Turn gold to crimson, purple and to gray
Then from our favorite seat we'd watch
The falling Of the oak leaves brown and
scar.
And listen to the sad, sweet song of some
Lone whip-poor-will whose notes rang
loud and clear:
Then while the stars peeped softly one 10y
one
From out the dome of heavens eternal
blue.
We'd sing that sweet. sweet song that e'er
will be
A fayorite evening song with me and you
Do you remember it.
What need have l to call to mind those days
Which were so full of bliss without alloy
1t is not strange, when we recall the past
We only bring to mind its scenes OF JOY:
All of its disappointments fade away
To petty sorrows all forgotten now.
'Tis like the desert mirage which appears
Most beautiful when looked at from afar
'Tis an unfailing spring of joy that flows
With sparkling waters through our rugged
way,
And through ell clouds its ceaseless sunshine
glows,
To Cheer our hearts and tighten weary
days;
Let us remember it.
