RECEPTION.
Last evening the local homeopotbists ten
dered reception to the visiting physicians
and invited friends at Masonic hall. Near
two hundred people had assembled by $50
o'clock The time was pleasantly spent il
social conversation and making new ac-
quaintances. The program as given in yes
terday's issue was rendered in a manner
highly creditable to al the participants.
The recitations by Miss Maud English were
received with cheers. The poem of Attorney
r. A. Haste is given below and was favorably
commented upon by ALL
THE LADIES.
When one is asked to give toast
He must not quail bIG go ahead
And like a h-ro at his post,
Keep at il till his friends are dead,
Or he pale and wandering ghost.
The Ladies: If should digress
You'll surely pardon the depression
When | am trying to express
NV thoughts It's hald 10 find expression
Except my folly to confess.
Had been asked for a response
To Little Pills on this occasion
| should have gone to work at once
Without word Of moral suaslon
Aud written something for the nonce.
You see have not had chance
TO gain knonl ledge of The Ladies"
Nv knowledge | would oft enhance
i, But many will consign to Hades
The one who makes the least advance.
I think I gained some knowledge when
| was boy Of sweet eleven;
I lived at home with sisters then,
[ think the number only seven,
But often seemed full more than ten
The lades-sisters, mothers, wives
Some men keep trying all their lives,
Although Pm willing quite to tatter
The world Of one this boon depriveS.
Your patience | viii not devote
Discussing woman's sphere and end;
Some think the laIies ell should vote,
Although the age seems thus to tend
think the time somewhat remote.
When still quite young I couldn't see,
Governed well by seven sisters
Who daily took me on their knee
And left me well endowed with bliSters,
Whence came in the charity
OF allowing ladies so much space
On which to use authority.
[ submitted to it then with grace,
But by large ma jority
thought the treatment really base.
O men, O brothers, let us fling
Ourselves a moment from our thought,
And to the shrine of virtue bring
That homage due-though all unsOught-
Homage our pride admonishlng.
Oh, Woman, sisters, unto thee
Al, our ambitious are consigned:
Loved, honored, cherished shalt thou be
For in thy angel face enshrined
Are traces of divinity.
Your power DER mans superior mind
Dwells in your confidence and trust;
The purer elements combined
To form your nature surely must
Exert an influence refined.
Superior did say; ah, yes,
Superior in a strength that fails
When tempters thiekly round him press;
Superior in a min that quais
Before the worlds cold hautiness.
Inferior in that God-like trait
To suffer silent and alone;
The stern DEGREES of adverse fate,
Her heart is broken; bat no moan
Her sacred love will desecrate.
Inferior in the power to be
In sympathy with natures God.
Inferior in the right to see
The Justice of the Christening rod
And judge mankind with charity.
I hold it true that he whose life
Is moulded By woman's love,
Be she mother, sister, wife,
Receives strength as from above
To do any conquer III the strife.
As is the days of chivaIry,
I'll pledge nv brothers to this toast,
The la,iles." cherished let them be,
And he who honorS them the most
Is knighted with nobility.
The music was certainly one of the inter
esting features of the occasion and the Silver
Strings Mandolin club came in for their
share Of applause
Near II e'clock the entire party repaired
to the Hotel Gandolfo, where an extensive
collation. was served. 1t is needless TO say
that the doctors we're in their element on
reaching this part of the program
Z PLEASANT AFFAIR.
