The Rev. H. Itawlinson then mounted the platform, and
spoke as follows: --
My friends, both ladies aml gentlemen,
All those friends on whose aid we rely,
At the close of our Lod entertainment
We wiah you a hearty goud•liye•
Through the winter that's vanished so quickly
Not itallindere I by snow, wind, and rain,
In this room, though no large, yet so crowded
We hare met you again and again.

Let me thank you for coining to often
For the fun and good humour dixplay'd,
For bestowing such kind approbation,
On the amateur efforts were made.

We certainly think them successful
And we flatter mirselves, so do you :
And we hope with the autumn returning
These meetings onee more to renew.
hut spring with its lengthening twilight
And s 1111 l Tiler with ita soft-setting sun
Itestucaki you for other amusements
Vs hen work all over and done.

To the friends who have given us readings
Our thanks an, mpevially due :
For liieasy to rout in one's parlour
Rut alarming to read before you.
To please you, we hop'd WWI our miuion,
Oh ladies ! lot such be your own:
Ile it your aim to lighten tires winters;
Ile dispensers of kindness at home.
Squeers has made your acquaintanoe.
And like him would I say to the boys,
Would ycii practice the silence of making
Oh just, just a leetle less noise t
To nor musical friend. maw thanks
For their Minim,o and talent are dime:
When we hear the sound of their voicm
We lament that such voices Me few.

So now as I Nil you farewell
Let us part without heart-arhe or sigh :
We have met for our mutual improvement
Anil once more I wish you goisl-bye.

In the mom of this great inetitution
May truth. virtue, knowledge he seen.
And a. thig village iloyal
I will mak., way for - "God Save the queen."
The oin,in f the National Anthem terminated the pro-
medinga, and the large audience oeperated.
