Baby's Curl.

I found to-day amid some treasured things
Kept long with loving care!
Some faded flowers, love notes and broken rings
And-dearest far Of all loves offerings
This little curl Of hair
The silent. burning tears fell unrepressed:
For the dear curly head!
My willing fingers have so oft caressed,
Till every childish grief was soothed to rest
number with my dead.
Never again my eager hands shall stray
Amid the clustering hair,
Where in the long ago this sweet curl lay
For the dear head is lying far away
Beyond my love and care!
Beyo1d the reach and need Of loves caress,
The precious, curly head
Can never feel again my warm lips press,
Or know with what a depth Of tenderness
hold this sken thread
What wonder that the tears fall thick and fast
Here in the twilight dim.
For this, my darling's ring,et, is the last
And only relic of sacred past!
IT'S all have of him.

The Farmers Seventy Years.


All, there he is, lad atthe plough;
He beats the boys for work,
And whatsoever the task might be
None ever saw him shifk.
And he can laugh, too, till his eyes
Run DER with mirthful tears
And sing full many an old-tlme song
In spite OF seventy years.
sGoOd morning, friends! It's twelve o'cloch'
Time for half-hour's rest
And farmer John took out his lunch
And ate it with a zest.
ga harder task it is" he said
ethan following up these steers
Or mending fences far. for me
To feel my seventy years.
''You ask me why feel SO young, -
I'm sure, friends, cant tell
But think it is my good wifes fault
Who's kept lie up so well;
For women such as she are scarce
In this poor vale of tears;
She's given me love, and hope, and strength
For more than forty years.
sAnd then my boys have all done well,
AS far as they have gone,
And that thing warns an old mans blood,
And helps him up and on.
My girls have never caused pang,
Or raised up anxious fears;
Then wonder not that feel young
And hale at seventy years.
why don't my good boys do my work
And let me sit and rest?
All! friends, that wouldn't do for me;
like my own way best
They have their duty; I have mine,
And, till the end appears,
mean to smell the soil, my friends,''
Said the man of seventy years.

Acknowledgment, Mics Alice Hart; Skillet,
Miss Lucy Land Sharp, Miss Carrie Hall. We
had prepared an extended report of this nne
performance, but found to our regret that we
nau TOO many delayed matters On hand which
could not be longer postponed. To say that the
did well does not come up to til.
measure OF the popular verdict. Even to veteran
play -gocrs. it was marvellous that a company Of
amateurs, most of them totally without ex-
periencs. should have gone through with a first
class drama In such magnificent style. From
first to last there was little or no prompting,
and yet scarcely a break or Il defect of any kind.
And the best sustained parts were those which
required the most action. While it would seem
invidiOus to particularize where all did SO we'll,
we can not in justice iorbe .r giving especial
credit to the rendering OF the more prominent
characters-FIorence 1renchard. Mary Meredith
and Georgina Mountchessing;on, Dundreary,
Asa Trenchard, Abel Murcott and Blnney. The
hearty applause of the audience showed pleased
and apprecIative witnesses of the play, and
stamped 1t US an unqualified success. The
scenery. painted by Mr.. B%oothman, of Lexing-
ton, WAS the subject of universal praise. as also
was the fine music by Friemel's Sedalia Orci.es-
ira. Altogether, Olympic Hall had a most
creditable and successful opening. and We ven-
ture the prediction that Its boards will never
sustain a woithier or more ambitious company
than the seventeen young ladies and gentlemen
who compose our Pickwick Club.
