The Old Schoolhouse,
BY /. N PHIPps, ohanute, Kas,

.
Among the memories of yore
4 That haunt me now, and ever will,
'1s one I've never voiced before:
THE Old Schoohouse" upon the hill.
& Upon the hillside there it Stood
W A door in either end of it,
And rnemr ries of my lost childhood
Forever round about it fit.
'TisSmore than fifty years (and yet
8 it seems but yesterday since
And others in it's portals met
Or out upon the playground, nigh,
A hasty game OF. ball to play
Ere books" were called; and can still
Recall the pranks of George, and Clay,
Worse never lived, and never wild,
Neither of whom was ever known
To have lesson, or 'go head,
Save when the word was slyly shown,
Or whispered to them, it was said.
A worthy second to this pair
For "devilment" and standing "foot")
was one with twany, touseled hair,
Anu propensity CO SnOOC
Small pebbles at the teachers back,
And oft that terror's occiput
Received from one singing whack,
And then, Oh, how we pitied Tut!
Alas that schoohouse is no more,
And they who taught in it are gone,
And now await us on that shore -
To'rd which we are all hast'ning on.
And, Oh! what havoc Death has wrought.
And, Oh! what changes Time has made,
Since they within it's portals taught,
And we beneath it's gables. played!
For truly we were less concerned
About our lessons than our play,
And scarce remembered what we'd learned
Beyond the shadows of the day.
To other changes It were vain
To call attention, it may be;
And.yet it seems ! can't refrain,
y These things 50 sorely sadden me,
The glory of the hills is gone;
They stand deunded, and forlorn.

Meath BIRCH and beech, and maple bough,
Strange people sow and reap to-day.
The old mill-dam and water-mil
Have likewise long since passed away,
Yet from my mind draw, at will,
Pictures o'then, and the fo o'bay.
Even the river restless grew,
And moved it's channel, bit by bit,
And now meanders onward through
The one some wild tide cut for it,
The Peddler's grave alone remains

The shape in olden times it bore?
Have friendly hands, by pity led,
Renewed the sod, from year to year,
Above this friendless, unknown dead,
Who sleeps, remote from kindred, here?
All, well! maybe some good result
Came from the changes Time achieved,
And if so be, should exult
With you, instead of feeling grieved.
But, Oh! how hard 'tis to concede
To cruel Time, and fell Progress
The things on which our mem'ries feed,
Knowing they leave us no redress
