erS who are quite "iastldlous respecting
%colors; blue like the sky,
BLACK LIKE THE NIGHT,
and gray like the morning, seem to be the
favorite colors. Sometimes the bone
makers work inside of this little engine,
and after n little its elastic springs and
chords become ossified. They instantly
break or become rigid, the beating ceases,
the blood stagnates in the veins and artcr-
les, the mysterious workmen, affrighted,
leave their post, the checks become pallid,
the eye dim and the tongue dumb. the
whole body in one brief moment deserted
by the mysterious element of lite and left
food for the worms. But to what realm
have these mysterious little builders gone?
Did they accompany the spirit which
dweltin the home they had constructed to
that bourne from whence no traveller Ger

Miss SANKEY'S manner and style of
reading were well worthy that of an OK

and unfaltering voice was distinctly heard
by the ! 500 people who listened to the
reading. A thunder of applause ~resounded
through the parquet and the galleries as
she concluded, and she was presented with
baskets of flowers and bouquets in great
profusion.
The Old Musician and His Harp
was then sung by Miss Lolita HANNA as
sisted by a chorus of young lady voices.
This was one of the most beautiful cpl
sodes of the evening, and at the conclusion
of the song she was loudly encored BY the
entire audience.
The presentation OF diplomas to the
graduates was then made by Prot. Stark,
who spoke to the two graduates and the
department of the school to which they
belong, as follows:
