 May I thank through The Press the young ladies of the Busy Bees of the Uni versalist parish for their generous gift to me of a purse of $25. have received valuable and cherished gifts from the same source in other. years, but this touch es my heart with special tenderness and makes it very grateful, as I am about to retire from my long passionate and leave many beloved friends in whose company l have passed life's fairest hours. The Bees were nearly all of them born and bred in the parish. and as their minister I have ever been fond and proud of them-alike of those who are now in the swarm and of those who have gone forth to make honey unpleasant homes of their own. A nobler, sweeter class of earnest workers, many of whom I have known and loved from in- fancy, it would be hard to find in any oth- CT parish. Their aid has been large and wise, and as long as our dear old house of worship shall stand it will speak of the work that they have done. G.V.MAxHANM. l WELLINGTON. ! Rev. MT.
