Vice President Newell called to order, and

gested life membership and increased sub.

thought that only two dollars were received
from each member he was mistaken; over
5000 was received last session in a few min
utes, delegates contributing SIS on behalf of
their association, and private firms giving large
sums, none less than $2.so. At the same
time they were glad to have the suggestion.

F. w. Schaeffer had no objection to Mr.. Corn
ing's idea, but it should be put in a proper
manner.
Mr.. Symes, chairman of the scab law COM
mittee, said that this committee appointed
had latter much thought on the subject
prepared what they thought to be an efficient
bill, which he read.
On motion of Mr.. Corning the report and
bill were received and laid on the table until
tomorrow morning.

five be appointed by the chair, said committee
to be charged with the duty of suggesting the
various committees as in their judgment may
be deemed necessary, to whom shall be refer
red without debate all resolutions offered in

FoRGETFULNEss.

In the toll of day, in the dreams of the
night,
In the golden glow when the sun goes
down,
In the morning sunbeams shining bright
One thought like phantom follows
me,
And over the face of the cold gray
lea,
The rustling leaflets, sere and brown,
Whisper story of sad regret,
And murmur, softly, Forget, forget"
For the crosses that come, in this work-a-
day world,
Cast a shadow dark, Ger the lives of all
And we sooner win that crown impearled,
When we bravely bid our SORROWS go
Checking the hot tears ceaseless flow
Cheering some heart that seems to fail.
If those who smile should frown and fret,
This heart of ours could never forget.
And it is wrong, in this life, which is
short at the best,
To be grieving here, when there's work
to do;
For the soul that lives in the land of rest,
Is happier there, than here in life.
And knows that for us, in this worlds
great strife,
IT'S better far if the tears are few;
And we know each night when the sun is
set,
There is one day less we need forget.

kind is like sort of q cage, having q
fat wooden roof, just the size Of the

four corner posts and two intermediate
ones. Then there is sort of frieze

ing on these beds is sometimes very

two frames Of wood shaped like the
skeleton Of an old-fashioned ''settle,"
which are stood upon the floor, facing
each other. A mattress is placed on,
