\ Delightful Occasion.

The Supper at Fallaw'e Hall. Helena,
last Friday hight, fnr the heietit Of
the Union Church. WAS gratifying
success. For one week previously one
could hear nothing but ''h"t S"pprr.'
1t was the topic OF conversation III the
stores, on the street corners. and ut
the hous"S. The very air was full OF
il. We had hot supper for breakfa,-,
dinner amd especially for supper. The
calls OF the boys turned t. hot supper.
Il was a lucky hit: it gave them
chance for frequent visits and SOME
thing to talk abou'. They wanted TO
see how it was progressing, YOU know.
The subject ccliPSed tn" recent eclipse
OF the moon. lWc aren't in>inuating
anything ;thout luna-1y.) We sniiiel
hot Su; per afar of on tll,' s"c:tcd air.
but it turned cold before we got to
it. Bat i WAS just obliged 10 be Il
success. The reputation OF Helena de-
pended on it-hcr reputation for ac-
compliShing whatever i undertaken
was TO be maintained. In the bright
lexicon OF h..r youth there is no such
word aS fail. Leaves may fail and
stars nav Sc. and tlnwerS Wither; but
Helena fa.l-nrvrr. What. never?
Well. hardly 'vrr. Failure wa: n' to
be thought Of. Success mHSt crown
their efforts. they realized the itct
that neat church is al evidence of
a community refinement. They love
their village church-their little house
OF worship nesting amid the pines,
and for it they are willing to WGrk.
Their footsteps turn thitherward ~
day after Sunday afternoon. and their
thoughts minole with the everything
thoughts of Elmcston
SIS there time when moments flow
More lovtlily than all beside:
1t is. of all hr times below.
\ Sabbath eve il summer tide.
Delightful hour. how soon will night
Spread her dark mantle DER thyr ign
And morrow : quick returning light
Must call lis to the world agln.',
They enjoy, with Cowper, the calm
retreat. the silent shade. where, like
the nightingale, The soul ''pOurs her
solitary lays, nor asks witness Of her
song. nor thirSt< for human praise"
Enjoying, therefore, their Sabbath
meetings they, &c ladies, determined
to have their ch rch made comfortable
for all, by the a.! ition OF enough p'ws
to accommodate IS entire seating ca
pacitv. Henc' the late supper, the
ladies' labor Of love. Well. at last the
auSpiciouS Iii .ht rolled round, and the
tables wcra let. Before "the moon
rose o'erth ci y" bontirrs were lighted
in the grove to di>prll the eve..ing
shades. Within the hall it was Sc,'ne
of brilliant brauty. The village had
turned out ru Da$se, and Newbrrry
town was represented by strong and
liberal delegation, with sprinkling
from the c0ul,trt, to whom, with those
who gave of their means, on bt half
of the committee, we return thanks.
Their patro age is appreciated and
their preSclce will ever be rCmcm-
bered. Those in charge Of the supper
did well, each working harl for its
success. The supper was the very
best and Abundant, and everything
passed off PLEASANTLY and in order.
Everybody was satisfied. We don't
think the entertainment produced a
single grumblcr. The way in which
the plates were loaded prec.uded the
possibility Of grumble-aud also pre-
vented the probability Of accomm oGa-
ting many more customers at that rate
We think that The managers are to be
congratulated. For small village,
$45 above expenses is splendid sum

sion The cam and cake, etc, were
also nice AMI plentiful. And then the
walters We're so charmingly attentive,
so bewilderingly attractive, so becom-

that loose change couldn't lie still in

Eyes are hard 10 resist, whether they
be beautifully b! OK, brilliantly blue,
bewitchingly brown or glitteringly
gray. All this and more, which oar
space forbidS. We could write a col
umn on the supp r, but there is a lime
for all things. a. Il there is a time to
conclude. Therefore, We conclude.
n. B.-We forgot to mention that
business WAS entirely suspended at
Helena during the progress Of the sup

merchants taking an active part in the
