The exhibition Wednesday evening
was a decided success, in every res
pect. "The Farmers Song" sung
and acted out by a class of small
scholars were very fine. The pieces
by Edna Day, Lizzie Snow and Clara
Silsby, were we'll performed, and in
fact all the scholars acted their parts

ing thriving business, in the cloth
ing and jewelry trade, rs one of the
firm of j. w. Silsby & Co., 504

see yung mer, whose habits of life
and faithfulness bring to them all
needful capital, so early in life, to
enter upon successful business, and
yet the way is open for others.-ClI-

But for moment telt the rod,
Then rising on the viewless air
Spread his light wings, and scared to God
