could not have been otherwise. The young
girls affected no masculinity of style in the
delivery of their pieces, but were pleasingly
calm and natural. "The Green Messy Bank

whereupon Miss A. Rafter read "The Beauties
of Nature" essay Of metaphysical turn
Of thought, which was only equalled BY ons
on "Time" composed by Miss A. Finley.
Juvenile piece was delivered by little Miss
| Mena Steele with appropriate action and
distinct articulation. The cboruses: The
Wandering Refugee" and Come, Come,
Come" were sweetly and correctly sung by
the small girls. Besides the exertiono of the
Sisters, the success Of the exhibition was
due to Miss Ellen McGuigin, Mistress of
Ceremonies. The audience who had witnessed
