THE 1oY AND THE FROG.

See the frog the slmy, green frog,
Doing away on that old rotten log;
Seriously wondering
What caused the sunderinB
OF the tail that he wore when wee polywog'
See the boy, the freckled schoolboy;
Famed for ciissedness, tree from alloy,
Watching the frog
Perched on q log
With feelings akin 10 tumultuous JOY.
See the rock, the hard, iiinty rock,
Which the freckle-faced boy at the rog ooti
sock,
Conscious he's SHINING,
Yet gleefully grnning
At the likely result OF his terrible shock
See the grass, tho treacherous grass,
Slip from beneath his feet Alas
Into the mud
With dull thud,
He falls and rises simy mass
Now. soc the frog, the hilarious frog,
Dancing a 10 on his old rotten log,
Applying his toes
r. mis- broad, blunt nose,
Az he laughs at the boy stuck fast In the bog.
Look at the switch, the hickory swith,
Waiting to make that schoolboy twiteh,
When his mother knows
The state OF his clothes
Won't he raise his voice to the highest pitch.

Birthday Anniversary.

There was very pleasant anniversary
gathering at the residence of Mr.. j. w.
Halliday, last Friday evening, to cele-
brate Mrs. Halladay's tifty-fifth birth
day. At an early hour the large rooms
presented scene of cheerful sociability.
1t was wholly surprise. The guests
that arrived first found the destined host
ess very deliberately preparing the family
supper. Handsome gifts from friends
and neighbors were presented, accompa-
MED by an interesting paper read by Mrs.
j. M. Piper. She spoke of the useful
lives of the host and hostess, so full of
activity in Christian works, and of their
kindness and helpfulncss in times of sor-
row and bereavement, which have en-
deared them to many household. Gifts
from absent and distant brothers and sis
tiers were presented through Mrs. +. G..
Seeley (the youngest of the family cir
cleI, accompanied by words of loving
remembrance. Mrs. Piper, in her paper,
spoke of the coincidence of the date of
the hostess birthday with that of the
landing of the Pilgrims, fifty comment
grated we thought, by the landing of so
many shivering pilgrims at their door.
The supper, worthy the occasion, was
served, by experienced and skillful hands.
The guests fingered until the small hours,
loath to leave such cheerful company,
and all carried away a remembrance of
one of the pleasantest evenings of their
whole lives. X.
