THE QUILTING.

The day is set, the ladies' met,
And at the frame are seated
In order placed they work in haste,
To get the quilt completed.
While fingers fly, their tongues they ply,
And animate their labors,
BY counting beaux, discussing clothes,
Or talking at their neighbors.

The quilt is done, the tea begun,

The tables cleared, the music heard,

The dance begins with vigor,
And rapid feet the measure beat,
And trip the mazy figure.

The carriages 60 tilting;
And many dream has for its theme

ANNUAL REPORT 3.
OfMe Congregational Sunday School So
ciety IN Bristol, April 2, 1880.
Since Our last report, we have been
permitted to witness more happy state
of things in our School, than we have ev-
er before seen. The first thing worthy of
notice, was deeper and more active in-
terest manifested by the Teachers of our
School, in attending teachers meetings,
for prayer, examination of lessons, and
other subjects relative to our Schools in
making greater exertions to increase our
library, and in successful efforts to in
crease the number Of scholars, and retain
them III School through the winter
1t has been pleasing to notice an in
creasing interest on the part of parents.
Some have remarked that their children
have frequently made their Sunday School
lessons and books, their last companions
before sleep, and first after it, and some
have been heard to murmer out part OF
their lessons in sleep. One little boy,
six years old, was heard to repeat his les-
SON in whisper, when passing along
street. The avidity with which every
new book of our library has been seized
and read, marked its usefulness. The en-
quiry how to reconcile different passages
of Scripture and others equally important,
has been peculiarly gratifying to the
teacher. The recitations Of some of the
classes have been unusually interesting.
Some, when detained from School, by in
clement weather, have considered it a
great privation.
The occasional falling tear, from some
few of the older scholars, in view of truth,
encouraged us to hope God was about to
visit us in mercy but nothing special oc-
CURED until the second Sabbath in Janua-
ry, when we were permitted to hail the
tear of ateacher, accompanied with the
deeply solemn enquiry, "What shall l
do % as the morning star, afiording us
a glimmering light of approaching revival.
The day soon dawned upon us, which we
shall remember with gratitude through
the endless ages Of Eternity. No less
than FIVE ofour teachers wero found to be
deeply impressed, on the following even
ing. These, with a few Of our schol-
ars, were the first known to be awakened
among us. Quite in the early part ofthe
revival, eight of our teachers were rejoic-
ing in hope. One only remained with
out hope in Christ she was absent, but
not forgotten by the teachers, when at the
Throne Of Grace. After few weeks she
and soon became follower Of
the Saviour. Our whole number ofteach
ers is twenty-two, one ofwhom joined the
School recently, since obtaining hope
Twelve were professors Of religion before
The revival--and all are now hopefully pi-
ous.
