Many little hearts sank and bright eyes
filed with diamond tears when the morn
opened with shower; sad forebodings took
the place of bright anticipations; the clouds
on many brows lowered lower than those in
the heavens; but a CLEAN Of comfort shot
athwart the gloom, and with the sunbeams,
/ hearts, eyes and faces lightened Ali gath
cred to the feast of roses. No display was
aimed at but yet the most gratifying of all
displays was made, that of innocent, trust
ing and beautiful girls, trained by their
lovely. teachers in al the graceful manners
that make women so fascinating and elevate

A heavy shower could scarcely drive the
sweet company under shelter after Che fat
tering remarks of our talented and most
kind hearted friend Mr.. Dnpuy. In Esquire
/ Jones store we found ample room to store
our bundle of lovelincss, and leave a ser
4 pentine path for the gentlemen to travel from
,one "bewilderer to another. Old married
men stumped around trying to remember
the low soft notes that won their early loves ;
their wives aoated about looking like their
4 daughters, young and blooming. A burst

again--a long stream of happiness, only
Fufled by an occasional ripple of laughter
from light hearts o'er. coral lips.
The dinner Justice cannot be done it /;
but its very memory makes a pleasant sen
sation run over car palate. Some fun was
miSed in too with it. Littls aets of bu-
mainly building mp column Of sustenanee
by making groundwork Of tea cakes and
striped candy, totally ignorant of the fact
that net all the sweets the world can give
can fill an aching void :; other little scraps
basing their support on radishes without
salt; other small tit bits making their
living on handful of rn1sins and two al
monds, whilst good mama's and struggling
papas, mild tempered uncles and bitter
4 tempered aunts were busy as bees trying to
insert pieces of ham, pig, lamb, chicken, ct
~ onlae etc, ETC. to make a cement for the
delicacies, and the dark cloud of philippians
falling on the abandoned tables with the
fell dissemination of making the only clean
saoeep they are fond of.

we'll earned reputation for kindly use and
ornament by the manner in which his sonO-

Certainly much credit is due to our lady
teachers. Let them persue their sacred
calling earnestly, making of our little heart
blossoms enlightened, true and christian
women. This do and the hearts of our
people will go out unto them.
The thanks of all are due and will be
cordially paid to Mr. Jones, Mr.. Keister and
other gentlemen of Leatherviile for their
kindness and courtesy. We would mention
their names in full, but our article would
extend over too much space, so we only
change a word or two in a well known poets
stanza and apply it to Leatherville:

/ With cleverness like thee;
And like music the downs
Is thy sweet voice to me-" z
