LEWIS T. BRYANT OF FOXCROFT, ME.
DO you remember the good old days, The days of long ago, When you were building a house of spools And I bullt men or snow? Does memory hark to the spool-made top And the way we made it whirl. When I was a little t.('w-heail boy And yon were my little girl?

I am moved to this reminiscent strain By the picture shown above; The spool so closely intel'weaves With so many things we love. Her gentle hand spun off the thread. As she sewed by the fireside, When yon were a youthful Benedict And she was a happy bride.

Who sends acroSs the sea, The stnff for the spools for the thread of the world. And who sU:l:gests tllis verse to me.
