A PLEASANT DAY AT "OAK
SIDFn

Last Friday a. m. we went TO Oak
side. The school was assembled for
morning devotion. The sense Of
christian homeness came over us very
deeply. We felt at once, the moral
air is pure. Parents need not fear on
that score. The walls were adorned
with the works of juvenal artists.
They were good, and need not fear
the best light. A table crowded with
books and papers exhibited The results
Of the written examination. Pen
manship, taste in arrangement, COM
prehension in results were all con-
spicuous. The examination of the
pupils did credit to pupils and teach
ers. The kindergarten is a boon
and blessing to every little one in it i.
Oakside meets a felt want, while not
antagonistic to anything but igno-
rance. The above statements express
conclusions, as they indicate the basis
Of them. Ii Oakside meets the sup
port it deserves it will continue to
increase and flourish.
A large audience gathered in the
evening, filling the entire space Oh
the first floor, and listened to a
charming entertainment. All were
pleased; so we judged by the various
expressions at the close. That part
was an exhibition OF the musical and
vocal powers. All was in holiday
garb. Rests were presented to ap-
preciative minds. While enjoying
very much the evening entertainments
we could appreciate the morning bet
ter. Comprehensiveness in view of
the ground gone over in study is the
test of progress. By that test, meas
ured in written and oral work, we
can heartily commend "Oakside. :"

The Republicans of the state have
during the past week been relieved of
a moral incubus in the person of Ex-

of the charges against the Ionia

Warden Waters to "vindicate" The

claim to know whether the charges

true thorough investigation would
result in placing the managers in

"not guilty" it doesn't generally fol-
low that courts dismiss the case. 1t

And wages exceedingly low,
I sank on my pillow discouraged
Bewailfng my trials and woe;
But trouble was suddenly lifted,
And icy ill-humor would thaW,
When round rolling dollars would jingle
From the hand Of my mother-in-laW.
But once on cold winter morning,
When snow mantled valley aud hill,
The wife had cherished so fondy
Lay silent and speechless and still,
And with two wee little children
Was left in the world all alone,
10 long for smile that had vanished,
10 weep for face that had gone.

And wondered what hand in the future
Would fondle my darlings at last;

Through torrents of tear-drops saw,
