READVILLA.

After lapse of six years, We attended
another one of Readvilla's Festivals and
while we view the change, so short time
has wrought memory the great "treasury
house of mind" becomes filled with past
reminiscences-"F memory brings to
lieht,n the scenes of childhood's happy
days.
OF our then, mirthful band, but few re-
main-The beautiful queen, E. D., The
intellectual P. R, The vivacious B.
W, The ambitious L. T, The bril-
liant G. J-,and the lovely E. K,
still retaining her childlike purity and in
nocence, the pet Of all-ths bright star
of the school galaxy. Some haved move d
of-others entered upon the matrimonial
sea of life among the number our be-
loved, NJ. E. R, l. M, L. rs 3.
D, and B. s.. May their pilots do
justice to their worthy charge, and guide
them safely through.
Last, hut not least, we see our time
honored and much loved teacher, moving
in her majestic sweetness, as in days OF
wore. But while this maternal oak has
withstood the raging Of life's s,many
of her tender twigs have been swept away
blythe pruning knife Of Time. Thus she
stands, an imperishable link, uniting the
present with the past-earth with heaven.
"Then let me Irvine 0, teacher dear,
A wreath to shield thy brow with care;
A wreath Of fragrant, deathless flowers,
To cheer through life thy darkest hours.
Amid this wreath bright Hope shall bloom,
Shedding light across the tomb;
And Faith, with leaves of living green,
Point to world of joy serene.
But brightest, fairest in the wreath,
TO gild the gloomy vale of death,
Be love, imm ortal, thornless love,
One flower of earth that blooms above"

A Word Of Caution.

fTNHR0UGH the process Of Kiln drying, large
l. quantities Of Corn, in more or less dam.
aged condition-being mixed with portion OF
sound grain-are now largely made use of by
Western Millers in the manufacture of Kindred
Corn Meal.
AS too much attention cannot be given to the
quality Of the food which we eat and there being
no necessity for using Kiln-dried Meal, where 10.
would direct the attention of dealers and consu.
mers to the fact that his "Young America Mils''
are in constant operation and competent TO supply
all demands made upon them. No Kiln dried
grain is made use of and every attention is given
TO the securing Of frst-class grain and product
in Bolted and Unbolted Meal, fair trial Of which
must give it precedence over all importations.
