VoL. 1. MILFOHl), MASS., FEBRUARY, 1885. No. 4. OUR BELL. Somewhat back from a classic street Stands the old-fashioned learning seat; Across the pillared portico Our poplars now no shadows tlirow ; And from its station in the tower Rings out the bell, with all its power Whang, bang, Bang, whang. By night it lulls its voice to rest And if so kept it would be best— But in the morning, bright or dull. The bell rings out forever Lull, And calls the youngsters, one and all. To gather in the crow led hall. Whang, bang. Bang, whang. In that building used to be The grammar school as well as we ; But now our number is so great. It’s gone to seek another fate. But like a wheel that’s been well greased The warning bell has never ceased Whang, bang. Bang, whang. From that building, clothed in best. This class comes forth, with brain hard pressed ; While in those silent rooms l eyond Still lingers many a memory fond. But tor the youths whom time will bring No Morrill then the liell will ring. Whang, bang, Bang, whang. L. B. B., ’83. Soliloquy by Our Bell. • As I was standing alone in the school-room one afternoon, I was sud¬ denly startled by a dee|) sigh which seemed to come from above my head, and then a voice which I recognized as that of the old bell broke the silence. “ ' Pwenty years,” it said,“twenty? yes, thirty years, ami perhaps more—the years roll hy so swiftly I can scarce¬ ly count them as they pass—have I hung in this same S])ot. Well do 1 remember how vain I used to be of mv 4 good looks, and how jiroud I was when my voice rang out for the first time. Then I thought my lot was truly envi¬ able, for, swinging back and forth, high above the heads of men, I could look down u])on the busy village below me, see lieople hurrying to and fro, the river winding along, and hear the birds twittering to one another as they built their nests among the green lii ' anchcs of the trees, but, as the seasons passed, all this became an old, old story whose monotony wearied me. “Mv life has had but one reat sor- row, a sense of solitude which at times comes over me. Every Sunday I hear the church-bells ring, and I long to join my voice to theirs, but in vain. Often the fire - bell’s sudden alarm arouses me from slumber, and as I hear other bells one by one ring out upon the still night air, it seems almist unendurable that I alone must be silent. Then when their sound dies away, my feeling of loneliness is in¬ creased a hundred-fold. I have not always been as lonely as now. When there were attic stairs, my solitude was often invaded, gay laughter and merry voices resounded around me, and in the society of young people I felt content. “I remember tw’o visitors that I once had, young ladies who preferred to Sjiend several hours in my com])aiiy rather than in that of their class-mates in the room belowL I greatly enjoyed their confused talk of teachers, scholars and lessons, and wondered at the. cause of their long but welcome A’isit, until one of them scratched in rude letters ‘E p here to escape writing composi¬ tions.’ Dear old attic stairs, you were indeed a blessing to me. All too soon you were taken away, and I wms left alone, shut out forever from inter¬ course with human beings. “Although se])arated from those I loved, I continued and still continue to take an interest in their welfare. IIow joyfully I ring out when those whom 1 i’emend)er as children come once more to visit the scenes of their former trials and triumphs, and how ha])py I am do they but say, as they recognize my voice,‘Ah ! there’s the old bell!’ (irood news of them alwa s causes me a feeling of hap])iness, and yet this hBp])inesH is dimmed by tlie thought that 1 am perhaps forgotten by those whom I shall ever remember, for I do not think the scholars feel foi me the same affection that I do for them. Often when my voice warns them that it is time to begin work, instead of praising me for faithfully performing my duty, I hear them say, ‘Oh! dear, there’s that old bell ringing again.’ However, the consciousness that I am doing right helps me to bear even this grief with resignation. “For several years there dwelt in the little room where the end of my rope hangs, a large family of bottles of different shapes and sizes. In the night when all was quiet, I often heard them relating the adven¬ tures that had befallen them during the day, and consoling one another for the rough treatment they had received. I learned to love them, and to look for¬ ward to the evening with pleasant an¬ ticipations. “One day, I was startled by strange sounds below me, and Avhen evening came I listened in vain for the sweet voices of my friends. At last the ap- ])alling truth broke in upon me, they had bWn taken away. I have never heard from them since. Perhaps they are now at rest from all their suffer¬ ings. I hope so.” Here the bell paused, and, after looking around to see that no one was watching, wii)ed away a tear. “However, I ought to feel thankful that I have fared so well instead of grieving for the departed. During the last few years, my home has been enlarged and l)eautified, until now I aiu justly proud of it. Many of the classes on theii- de])artnre have left be- himl tokens of their good wdl towards the school, and although I derive no jiersonal benefit from thes(! gifts, it gives me jdeasure to think that they make the room pleasant for those who remain. “In the scholars 1 see but little (Continued on Second Page.)
