Old Time sweet Time pause awhile, pray,
Let no waning sun go down upon this happy day.
Leave the purple on the hi the bloom upon the
flower
Let thy finger point forever to this golden hour.
For he loves me. he hath said 10;
For my heart n gin hath found.
Oh, he loves me- he hath said iti
Let there be no light nor sound
Save with love and beauty crowned.
Old Time, sweet Time, pause awhile, pray,
Let no waning sun go down upon this happy day.
Take tho shadow from my heart, the ruin from my

Lay thy futtering wings aside, let thy soul have

For he loves me, he hath said it;
For my heart a gin hath found.
oh, ho loves me, he hath said I'll

Queen Victoria celebrated tho occasion al
Baimoral with all the quaint, old d-fashioned
ceremonies. In the still, dark night brilliant
procession of torch-bearers marched through
the shaded grounds, preceded by the Queens
pipcrs, playing Justify. Behind them came
tho Princess of Wales With her little daughters,
and the Princess Beatrice, each carrying aloft
a flaming torch. After marching several times
around the castle, tho Princesses Alexandria
and Beatrice lighted with their torches tho
huge bonfire that had been built on the green,
and, with the rest of the gay company, ca
reened and capered around the blazing pile in
the "torch-light Dance" while tho kindly
mother-Q Queen looked on.

The Opening of tho Gates

at Masonic Hall was decided success. Pass
ing through the Yankee toll-gate with its Cen
tennial flag and usual accessories where tho
keeper conscientiously punched with care
right In the presence Of tho passangare," tho
spectator was bewildcred by tho variety Of
nationalites represented, and like Christian at
one stage of his journey, hesitated which gate
to enter first. There was the Roman gate, pro-
sided over by Roman matrons and peasant
women. The pretty Mrs Hayden, her black
eyes fairly dancing, Miss McLain, Miss Gil
man. Miss Jones' Miss Newton, and Miss Han
nay, assisted by Mr.. st. Clair, supposed to be q
Senator, and "the noblest Roman of them ALL"
At the Moorish gate there was Miss Minnie
Johnston, looking very lovely in white satin
quilted petticoat Overdress and veil of real lace
and pearl ornaments; Mrs. Mcbride and the
Misses Fisher in handsome oriental costumes.
AMI Miss Oyier.
At the English gate there was stately Queen
Elizabeth hersolf-Miss Ida Gilman, in pow
| dercd hair and ruff crimson velvet train, gold
embroidered, and white satin skirt--and her
| ladies of the court-Mrs. Weston in striking
costume copied from the fifteenth century, q
crimson satin train over lavander silk, and an
enormous sugar-loaf sort of head gear, from
which depended lace veil; Miss Dora New
ton, Miss Mollie Kelly, Miss Crittenden, and
Miss Fisher Miss Rosa Sunderland, who per-
sonated fsh-woman, and Gunnieven-Miss
Lizzie Johnston-in robe of green.
The Normandy gate was presided over by
Mrs. Pentland, assisted by her two young
daughters, Miss Ashley, Mrs. Williamson, Miss
Whittlesey, and Miss Mckelden.
At the japanese gate there was Miss Moses
and Miss Rutland, who were so efiectually dis
guiscd in their fowery costumes as to look like
genuine mportations from the Celestial En-
pire. One of tho interesting features OF the
entertainment was the manufacturing Of
liquid flowers by Madame Harding Such
buds and roses, upon which the dew fairly
sparkled as she made before our eyes after a
new Parsicn process, were wonderful to be-
hold, and reminded us of the days of Aladdin.
