HIGH SCHOOL ALUMNI.

The annual reunion of the High
School Alumni took place in the Opera
House last Friday evening, and though
many members were missing there were
still enough left to have pleasant time.
The following program took up the first
part of the evening:
Instrumental Duet-Mrs. II. A. Waters and
Miss Freeman.
History-Miss Emma Fletcher.
Vocal SOlO-Mr. NJ. b. Haynes.
Oration-W d. Willard.
POem-Miss Freeman.
instrumental Duet-Miss Beatty and Miss
Freeman.
After which the Alumni and guests
were invited upon the stage, where re-
freshments, consisting of ice cream and
cake, were served. Toasts followed the
repast. Rev. Mr.. Pollock was called
upon to respond to the first toast, "The
ladies'" and the response proved the
wisdom of the selection. "The Schools
was responded to by Senator Fletcher
schools. Going back thirty-five years he
traced the SCHOOL" up to to-day, in a
very interesting manner. "The Teach.
err" was responded to by Prof. Bechdolt
but as Mr.. Fletcher had pre-empted
many of the thoughts that belonged to
"the teacher" the Prof. made his re-
spouse in as few words rs possible. The
last toast, "Chips," was dumped at the
feet of the irrepressible j. L. Washburn
who in few minutes presented his lis
teners with basket lull of chips of ev-
cry description, including that which
came off the cold block" after which the
tables were cleared and the Gripping o.
the light fantastic" was INDUCED in by
the young folks.

Thus another flower has been plucked
| from the gardens of earth, to be trans
planted i'm fairer fields. Another voya-
ger has crossed the sea of life, and her
bark has entered the haven, where all
is calm and peaceful, no more to be seen
by us who ore still out on the troubled
waters.
Thus life's shadows flee away, and day
by day, we are coming nearer to that
higher life that knows no ending. We
gather around our household flowers of
love and beauty, thoughtless of the frail
tenure by which we hold them, and
while we are still gazing upon them they
disappear from our vision, like some
beautiful cloud, dipped in the azure of
heaven, that floats for awhile before our
enraptured sight, and then returns to its
native skies. We strain our eyes to
catch one more glimpse of its lowell
ness, but all in vain.
In deepest anguish we lay our Dear
Ones, all that Is mortal of them, in the
silent earth, and bedew the cOnsecrated
apt to think that all is lost; but if we had
only that measure of faith that is given
MS to have, we might see that the end of
life is better than the beginning, for it
begins in the likeness of man, but ends
in the likeness of God. and while the
eternal ages roll will share the image and
glory of the Son Of God.
Sorrow so overwhelms the soul in the
trying hour of separation, that we forget
to ask our loved ones, "whither goest
thou?" But to the anxious, listening
ear, that has been opened to the voice of
God, the sweet answer comes, go with
the angels of light to the beautiful land
where the rainbow never fades, where
the stars will be spread. out before me
like the islands that slumber on the
bosom of the ocean, and where the beau
tiful beings who passed before me on
earth will stay forever in my presence,
where
'Beside LIES River
We shall meet, to live forever"
These bright jewels of the household
that fall from our casket are not lost
From them God is now building his tenn
pie in the skies, and angel hands are but
gathering them that they may be in
wrought into that celestial palace.
The deceased was beloved by all who
knew her. As Wife, and Mother, she
discharged her duties in the fullest
measure. She was an humble follower
of the Blessed Master, and in her daily
life of kindness, benevolence, and love
to all, she adorned her Christian profess
sion. And this is the highest tribute
that can be paid to any mortal. J. B.
