A TORRENT OF TEARS.

A picnic was planned for the next day and
our aunt, whom we had never seen before. was
to be with us. She was coming all the way
from Canada to see What pleasure were
to have! We had planned to take the ten
o'clock train to the falls and she was to go
with us.
In the morning we rose glad and cheerful and
made all preparations. We waited till half past
9, for that is the time we were to start to take
the ten o'clock train, but auntie did not come.
Mama said if she came in the forenoon We
could take the twelve o'clock train. But twelve
o'clock came and went and still we waited, but
she did not come. How disappointed we were!
It was not for the picnic, but because of our
longing to auntie We thought the day
would never end But it did end in a torrent Of
sad tears. Had we not good reason to cry?
