THE WAY or THE WORLD,

There are beautiful songs that we never sing
And names that are never spoken;
IhNre are treasure es guarded with Jealous care
And kept as sacred token.
There are faded flowers and letters dim
Win tears that have rained above them
L CT the tickle words and the faithless hearts
That taught us how to love them.
There are signs that come in our ioyou.

To chasten our dreams of gladness,
AND tears that spring to our aching eyes,
IN hours of thoughtless sadness.
Fer the bilthest birds that sing in spring,
VIII Hit the waning suru'ner,
ANA lips that we kissed in fof,dest love
VIII smil on the first new conner,
Over the breast where lilies rest
In white hands stilled forever
The roses of June will nod and lloom
Unheeding the hearts that sever.
And lips that quiver in slen: grief
All words of hope refusing,
Will lightly turn TO the fieeting Joys
That perish with the using
Summer blossoms and winter SHOWS,
Love and its sweet elysian;
Hope, like a siren dim and fair
Quickeniug our fainting vision;
Dropping spirit and failing pulse,
Where untold memories bower,
Eyelids touched with the seal of death,
And the fitful dream is over.

was success in every particular. The
hall was finely decorated with ever
greens, which had been put in position
by the ladies. There were large num-

joyed the dancing until very late, or,
rather, early hour. The music was fur
nished by Prof. Corazzi, and was excel
lent. The supper was gotten up by Mr..
and Mrs. Spencer, and many were the
praises bestowed upon it by those who
partook. The installation of the new of
ficers of the lodge took place at the hall
previous to the commencement of the
ball, and took place in the presence OF
only Masons and their families. The af.
