The GRAND Procession
THE Poor.

A believer in the principle of proving all
things and holding fast that which is good"
we subjoin few brief extracts from the press
of several cities in other States, in order to
prove the truth of any statement made or re-
peated by us in this article. During the week
ending June 18th, this establishment was ex-
hibting at Boston, and below will be found
the expressions OF the daily press of that city
concerning the 'Grand Caravan and the
great Circus" ~
The Transcript says: "Bailey's Menagerie
and Circus Combination is the best exhibition
of the kind ever brought to this city"
The Traveller says 'More pleasurable and
instructive entertainment has been afforded,
both to old and young, from Bailey's exhibi-
ton, than ever before was derived from a
similar entertainment"
The Boston journal alludes to it rs follows.
THE general moral tone of the entertainment
is good
The Post says Everything advertised was
exhibited, and all present voted it the best en-
tertainment seen in Boston for years.
Last week the company appeared in Port
land, and the Argus says; HIE
"Bailey's Menagerie and Circus is ahead of
ANYTHING we have had in Portland fer years.
There is nothing coarse or insipid about it,"
Says the Press: ''Bailey's Circus is far
above the generality of circus performances"
The Advertiser says: s'Bailey's NJ nagerie
and Circus combines amusement with nstrnc-
ton. We take special pleasure in commend
ing it to the people Of our. city and State"
The crowds that fill the pavilion attest the
sa.ssf, rtiou and demonstrate the popularity
of Our entertainment with the people. Come
and judge for yourselves:

believe that the world needs the Society
of Friends as testimony and a standard.
I know that this is the opinion of some
of the best and most thoughtful members
CT other Christian sects. | know that
any serious departure from the original
foundation of our society would give pain
to many who, outside of our communion,
deeply realize the importance Of our tes-
timonies. They fail to read clearly the
signs of the times who do not see that
the hour is coming when, under the
searching eye of philosophy and the ter
rible analysis of science, the letter and
the outward evidence must not altogether
avail us when the surest dependence
must be upon the light of Christ within,
disclosing the law and the prophets in
our own souls, and confirming the truth
of outward scripture by inward expert
ence when smooth stones from the
brook of present revelation shall prove
mightier than the weapons of Saul when

Ofsunshine caught from Eden lands

To its bright golden framing.

She's past our hearts retaining,
One wintry day, our little May
Closed her blue eyes in siumber,
When scarce six years OF smiles and tears
To us..so fraught with hopes and fears,
Her tender life did number,
And meier again to joy or pain
Our darling doth awaken.
The fairest Of all earthly flowers,
The little opening bud OF ours,
The loving God hath taken.
No hand shall guide her to my side
Till walk through deaths portal,
But che shall be star to me,
To guide me DER life's treacherous sea
TO that blest land immortal.
This hope is near to bless and cheer
When sorrow doth Cypress me,
It gives new zest unto my breast,
And such peaceful sense OF rest
Gods owe doth surely bless me.

And the soH is weary waiting,

Come the shadows us to bless;
Sit you down to muse, in quiet,
They will give unto you rest.
Thus in life these shadows gather,

Yet the light comes by-and-by.

Lessons of hope, of faith and love;
Guide you to home celestial,
