words.
Dear Children:
When I look back over the last
few weeks a good part of our space
has been given to my letter, so am
going to wish you the best of luck
in your new school work and leave
the space this time to you.
With much love,
AUNT JULIA.
All, Hello: Please open the door,
I'm lonesome out here by myself
I'm sending song some one want
ed, but I've misplaced the address, so
I'll just send it to the letter box
where every one can get it. Here 1t
is:
When You and Were Young, Mag
gle
T wandered today to the hill, Maggie,
To watch the scene below;
The creek and the creaking old mill,
Maggie,
AS we used to, long ago.
The green grove is gone from the
hill, Maggie,
Where first the daisies sprung;
The creaking old mill is still, Maggie
Since you and were young.
Chorus:
And now we are aged and gray,
Maggie,
And the trials of life nearly done;
Let us sing of the days that are
gone, Maggie,
When you and were young.
A city so silent and lone, Maggie,
Where the young and the gay and
the blest;
In polish'd white mansions Of stone,
Maggie,
Have each found place Of rest.
Is built where the birds used to play,
Maggie,
And join in the songs that were
sung;
For we sang as gay as they, Mag
gle,
When you and I were young.
They say I am feeble with age, Mag
gle,
My steps are less sprightly than
them
My fa~ is we'll written page, Mag
gle,
But time alone was the pen.
They say we e aged and gray,
Maggie,
AS spray by the white breakers
flung;
But to me you're as fair as you were
Maggie,
When you and were young.
I, too, think the letter box is more
interesting than it was-well, to say
one year ago. Aunt Julia, I think
you could use the whole page" at
a benefit to the young people, Cous-
ms, don't you agree
How many of the cousins like to
go kodaking? surely do. To the one
guessing my age I will send "snap-
S. ot."
Now, I'll run befor. Aunt Julia
gets verv angry with me for staying
SO long. Please don't forget to write
to a lonesome girl.
Best wishes to everybody,
(MISS JEWELL WALDROP.
