THE RuMBLE REE,s BALL.

The BUBBLE BEE bALl
Twas on a midsummer night Miss BUNDLE
Was to hold her annual ball.
" Indeed, 1t will be quite crush, said she,
" And hope it will pass off successfully.
I've invited the insects all.
Old Grandfather Graybeard came nimbly along
On his legs 50 timber and light,
And the Night Moth cheerfully hummeda song,
And hoped the breeze would not blow too
strong,
As she f1ttered her robes of white.
The three Misses Katydid dressed in green,
Came skipping along quite gay,
And q number of Ants in black were seen,
Looking very naughty and cold of mien,
In the midst of the festive array.
The Fire Flies swung their LAMPS on high,
AS the dance was about to begin,
And little black Cricket, who looked quite
spry,
Began scraping bis violin.
The slim-waisted Wasp was admired by ALL
AS he danced with Wisconsin, Miss Bee,
And the Butterfly fair was the queen of the ball,
As she ioated about through the dancing-hall
In dress that was lovely to see.
Mr. June Bug was dancing, quite jolly and gay,
With Beetle all dressed in brown,
And the only mishap was that Christopher Gray
Glanced to stumble a bit as he made his chas-
seZ
And trod on Miss Dragon Fly's gown.
Mr. Blue-B Bottle danced with a Mantis fair
In frock of emerald green;
The Field Mouse looked round with a startled
air,
But seeing the guests were beginning to stare,
He led out the Butterfly Queen.
Refreshments were served, quite tastefully, too.
On the fronds of the Lady Fern,
And cup-moss goblets of sparkling dew.
The very best wine that ever you knew,
Were passed to each guest in turn.
The music and dancing began once more,
And the hours sped merriy by,
Till the Wood-Tick announced it was half-past
four
By the little invisible time-piece he wore,
And the dawn was streaking the sky.
And away they fastened to bid adieu
10 the hostess who smiled ON ALL
And each guest declared that he never knew
Such a charming time the whole year through
AS the merry midsummer bGll.

song of love and death
Old as mans feeting breath,
Yet new each moment of our changeful time,
Comes to me midst the light
And glow of day. and night
Still gives me back In dreams that mournful
rhyme.
'Tis all in vain
/ strive to hush this strain.
Or bid one note of triumph through 1t breathe ;
In low. sad monotone
1t tells of grief alone
The song that Love and Death together weave.
o, sage. teach as you may,
In words of wisdom, say,
Inc forest does not miss one fallen leaf
But of the fond, true heart
It's loved ones are part
And when Death takes them we must yield to
grief
Not for iyself alone
That spirit-song's sad moan
For, far or near. its voice OF grief is found.
On, Love AID Death, by thee,
In links OF sympathy,
A myriad sorrowing hearts with mine seem
bound
Some time-but, oh, not here
Midst doubt and pain and fear
That song of love and loss for us will cease;
Faith breathes some time, somewhere
Mid happier homes of air
The heart win find its soLg of love and peace

Mrs. Wilcox, this gentleman has met you

an unfortunate impression on his mind,

Mrs. Wilcox surveyed the embarrassed
young man unhinchinGly, then she said:

At special meeting of the Board oi Ed
uration. held Wednesday evening. the
Board decided 10 allow Superintendent
White 10 admit CoIored children 10 the pub
lie school buildings at his discretion. and to
allow them to attend until provisions could
where
1t then decided to purchase a lot on
the corner of Plum and State streets. and
to erect four-room building tor the ac-
commOdation of cooFed pupils.
The Board was half right-or nearly So
in its action. 1t was quite right in giving
to Superintendent White the privilege
of admitting colored children in the public
school buildings usually occupied 10y white
pupils only. and We are pleased t" see that
Mr.. RidgeIey has sufficiently advanced in
atrness and deccncy Ia introduce motion
to this effect. But if the oolored children
for the two or three months required to put
up ntw building for their especial accom-
mediation. without disastrous or revolution
airy results or effects. why should they not
be allowed 10 remain during the entire
school year? If this were agreed Ia. the eN-
penditure of good round sum of money
would be saved to the taN-burdened people
OF this city. The board will o. wholly and
grossly wrong if it does not prevent this adj
ditiOnal burden.
For as there i plenty of room for all
school children-whitr and black in the
school buildings now standing, the board
has no possible excuse for the further out
lay of money in the purchase OF ground
and in the erection of additional buildings
upon it. The motive for the proposed eN-
rlu>iOn is nothing at all but an unreaSuna-
bic. undigniied and unrighteouS prejudice
against an unfortunate and oppressed race
and men of Intelligence. reason AMI con
science ought 10 be ashamed 10 have any
part IN action 80 utterly inconsistent with
the spirit of the age and the dictates of
right.
