pleased with the results. Stirring up

The Offering.
BY BEN DOUGLAl

On green velvet bank
or pure silvery stream,
That plays down the valley by breezes caressed,
Like heart wandering ont with treasure of
love,
OR the JOY OF q soul on its way to rest:
On mOss-cuShoned bank
That walled up a stream,
bright little child, OF q mother in Heaven,
In the bridal OF summer would th0ughtlessly play,
In the w1ldness OF mirth to the innocent given.
On the cheek of the child,
On the bank OF the stream,
Sat the beauty and bloom OF delight-mngled hours;
necklace and garlands she daintily wOve,
While she held in her hand bouquet OF flowers
As she gazed with q smile
On the waters below
With mirror put there by Nymph OF the Sea.
And murmured, "'Tis votlve-I plucked it for
theei"
On the breast OF the stream
1t fast floated away,
Which the child in its Joy failed to see,
And. laughing, she gave, until her sweet treas
We're all flung away, one by one, in her glee.
Was the child In q dream
On that soft velvet bank3
On Chariot of Wonder her thought is conveyed.
And the clouds of her eyes are dissolving In tears
Bright pearl-drops Of soul, which he1porrow hath
made.
'Give, o give back my nowersl"
Broke the hush OF the scene,
Asshe shreked from that bright bank of velvet and
bloom;
But the stream danced along and laughed at her
tears,
And the hills answered back like a taunt from the
tomb.
And now on the bank
OF that clear winding stream,
When the days and the years have grown older
and died,
We hear the same call, 20 give back my flowers"
As II 'tWere the child ut once sobbed there and
cried.
That child of the stream
Is In Heaven, know,
Rut was once emblema1ic OF Man since the Fail.
Each hour Is blossom. each week Is flower.
And Life's the bouquet in the hand OF US all.
CAST it not on the stream,
Though its banks be OF gold
Let each bud be blessing. each flower be a prayer.
And its fragrance ascend to the Giver OF Bloom.
Who keepeth the motherless child In His care.

Bethany Free Kinder1artcn

A choice artistic and intellectual feast was
furnished by Prof Edw. C, Townsend and Mrs.
Nellie l.. McCartee to q large audience in the
halls and parlors Of the Spencerian Busniss COL
lege, on Saturday evening, for the benefit Of the
Bethany Free Kindergarten. The little Children
from two to six years Of age, who are the re-
ciplents Of this benevolent care, and who did
not know that they would meet anyone else.
came In to visit their friend, Mrs. Spencer, each
one bearing gift made with their own little
hands. Many eyes were wet as they passed by.
Prof Edw. c. Townsend, who voluntarily pro-
vided this entertainment for these little ones
rendered with elOquence. humOr and pathos a
number of admirable selections. A handsome
basket OF flowers was presented him by his pu-
pills In elOcuton.
Mrs. Nellie L. McCartee sang, with power and
sweetness, "Margery Daw," and, upon being
heartily encOred, gave THE Tryst and received
beautiful basket of flowers from the students
OF the Spencerian Business college She sanv.
also. La Ztngarella and, being encored, sang
San Old-FashiOned Garden"
An unsuspected incident greatly moved and
pleased the friends of the Bethany Free Kinder
garten. Mrs. Lita b. Sayles requested Prof
Townsend to find Mrs. Spencer and present TO
her basket Of rich flowers and fruit, symbol
izng the seasons Of life, and Mrs. Sayles then
read an original poem prepared for the occa-
sion:
Il bring you flowers: the hearts that you have
blessed
That In their human sorrow you've caressed
spring up, and bless in turn these happy hours
o, lovely flowersl
bring you flowers: flowers OF the spirit birth,
More beauteous than In gardens OF the earth
They walt for you In amaranthipe bowers
Accept my nowersl"
Mrs. Spencer, surprised and touched by this
tribute, responded with an alluslon to her own
SAD. troubled childhood which made these little
ones SO near and dear to her. The net proceeds
of the entertainment will pay for the transporta-
ton Of the little ones In herdics to Garfield Kin
dergarten Hal to the end Of the present school
year.

1t may be said that the whole year is available
and lawful for fishing in the Potomac within her
