the Ladies of the Church Aid Society
give notice of a "Concert and Tab
ieau" to be held under their auspices
at the new hall of the Donaldsonyille
silver cornet band on Thursday, July
ilth, 1872. As the proceeds of the
concert will be devoted to a good
purpose, as the name of the society
giving it indicates, we anticipate it,
VIII be well patronized by our citizens. |

Out Of the window she leaned, and laughed,
Agirls laugh, idle and foolish and sweet
Foolish and idle, it dropped iikc u call,
Into tho crowded, noisy street.

Who had caught the light as IL huttercd

And eye TO eye for Il moment there
They held each other ns if by spell.
All in Il moment passing there
And into her idle, empty day,
All in that moment something new
Suddenly seemed to find its way
And through and through tho clamorous

That made his clamorous busy day,
A girls laugh, idle and foolish and sweet,
Into every bargain found It's way.
And through and through the crowds of the

At every window in passing by,
He looked moment, and seemed TO see
pair Of eyes like the morning sky.
