All that came a brief abstract of "the
old, old story o'er again. Poor Frank! A
veteran of the Old Guard mailed in the fan
cied invulnerabihty of eight and twenty;
wearing the bachelor cross of the mountain
legion and girt with the glories of heroic ce-
libacy-he is pierced with the artless Archery
of Connecticut eyes, surrenders without dis
cretIon, and has gone over to the enemy, Hy
men, for life. Good bye, a sad forewell, old
comrade. You are dropped from our rolls for
misbeaavior in the face of the enemy, in an
engagement brought on by reckless skirmish-
ing. But If there Is forgiveness for such sin
by the memory of lang syne and IN ambro-
sial dews, we invoke the blessings of the Nup-
tial gods, life like Methusaleh, and an inten-
sity of happiness only subdued by the mem
ory of the hapless Helena limo cents who in
scribe upon thy wedding cards
.r "IIe has only gone before.'
GREATER REwARDs.-None who at
tended the reading for prizes last Friday eve
nng, failed to listen with pleasure to the
reading of Miss Clara Wilcox, Master WAL
lace Taylor, son of "Uncle jessie" and Miss
Florence Lamme. Their friends, who re-
ceived so much satisfaction and pleasure from
their really fine reading and their earnest and
studious efforts to succeed in this most diff
cult accomplishment and much neglected ele
ment of education, manifested their regard
by beautiful testimonials to each. Miss WilS
cox received from her friends a splendid VOL
ume entitled "The Tribute Miss Florance
Lamme magnificent toilet case, and Master
Taylor beautifully bound edition of Byron's
complete works and seven-dollars-and a. -half's
worth of illegal tenders" We are glad TO
see reward crown the efforts of the young
and jealous student who tn IS realizes that his
labors are noticed and appreciated.
