them was attended by number of
prominent citizens, and speeches
delivered by Hon. N. B Judd, Me-

him have crossed the ocean to find
a home in this glorious country,
can fully appreciate.

people, stranger to your customs
and laws, and in the minds of some
an intruder-one of that race whose
presence was deemed a positive
injury to the public prosperity but,
gentlemen, / found both kindness
and justice; I found that above the
prejudice which had been formed
against US there flowed deep broad
stream of popular equality-that the
hand of friendship was extended to
the people of every nation, and that
even Cinnamon might live and be
happy, successful and respected in
free America. Applause. gath

The Eclipse. .s-..-

Twas an evening of beatty, and gently the
breeze, ...s..g5 .G4t.r. ..f...-.-..
Was waving in grandeur the tops of the trees.
All nature seemed waiting the silent embrace,
Of Cynthia and Sol in the regions of space. 81
But we heard not the touch of their mystical
lips, 5ss.s st EF
As the Queens seemed the face of the King to
eclipse; - ....-.
But we knew their embrace was devoted and
true, El3 {fBEt.g@tsi ttEsf5 IL
For the dim veil of twilight around us they
drew,
While thus in celestial communion on high,
They fondly embraced in the shadowy sky.
In dazzling efrulgence he silently turned,
While the reveler of joy on his countenance
burned;
And he blushed as he caught the beautiful
OF the moon amid ether's unbounded eXpanse.
Thus placidly smiling in splendor on him.
And modestly striving his friendship to win,
He gazed for q while at her beautiful face,
Then clasped her to him in loving embrace
Unlike the bright sun which at midday we
view,f IA I;Ef W.!
Or the moon in her stars -spangled ocean of blue
The beams of his splendor seemed greatly
suppressed, "a a 81
While thus with her charming society blessed
Like spirit the moon in her mystical flight,
Saluted the sun, and vanished from sight;
And when from his presence she sadly retired,
He seemed with fresh power and glory
inspired. 4r 1922 .--=.
We scarce e'er beheld any meeting so royal,
Or witnessed devotions so constant and loyal.
Scarce has our earth e'r beheld such a scene
AS that blissful celestial re- union between
The proud King Of day, and the pure Queen of
night,
Which gave her such matehless ecstatic
delight.
Not alone did gaze at that beautiful sight.
Or witness the scene with enraptured delight,
All persons of every profession or class,
Were gazing at it throug a piece Of smoked
glass; -, -lE tE E.--

eclipse, fr,1 az ~Itss--l aaa .-Frt

And artists, who lavishly borrow his rays,
To bring out the symmetry, beauty and grace
Of features, whose tracery picture the heart
And prove the ineffable glory of art, 55t~a

light
And thro' his mild rays to present to ou,
