The writer, about four hours before this item was committed to paper, was at the supper table, and testified to the merits of the feast by kind of action which spoke louder than words. Even at the moment of writing he is too full for utterance, and clear thought is impossi- ble. It is enough to say that the quality of the entertainment matched the supper. Solos were sung, and well sung, by MT. Fred Glover, Miss Emma Glover, and Mrs. E. H. Pinney. MT. B. H. Pinney gave sweetly rendered solo on the flute. Miss Lottie Weston again demonstrated her ability as an organist. The same can be said of Mir. J. w. Dimock, as leader, and all who took part did themselves great credit. It is to be hoped that they will try again, and that soon.

It was very able and interesting lecture, in the judgment of the writer, one of the best of good course. The subject was treated in an admirable manner, and the nearer from the beginning to the end felt confident that the speaker possessed g large amount of the very thing which oc. cupied his thought. The lesson enforced by apt and sufficient illustration was mans need of reserved power, physical, intel lectual and moral. The matter of the lee. ture, in itself worthy, was made more pleasing and forcible by the graceful, natural and earnest manner of the speaker. Those who stayed away missed much. Those who were present will do well to al. ways remember and heed the instruction given. We predict for Mir. Smith great success in the lecture field, if he should chance to devote some portion of hie strength to that work.

The garden bed that soon shall lift
 Fair blossoms to the sun,
 The apple orchard and the fields,
 It seems we almost hear
 The future humming of the bees
 That summer gathers near.
 And here for half century
 Two blended lives have shone,
 That gently, clearly have revealed
 radiance not their own.
 We send them greetings tender, dear,
 We wish them joy most true,
 For love is of eternity,
 And love is ever new:
 o hasten, buds, and burst in flower,
 And sun your brightest shine for this

 THOUGHT FOR GOLDEN DAY. sit in the home light, it's comfort and cheer, Without are the dark, and the cold, and the rain; From her ia reaching corridors memory comes Bearing the links of beautiful chain That were welded in years that have vanished awav Of the sunlight and shadow we could not retain. One link holds the face of my teacher and friend, pS,U Whose voice s hada cadence so n nsilyery sweet Cast up for his wandering children's feet, That its echoes still finger in memory's halls, And over and over the story repeat This link do you see it when lips had grown mute Recorded this message that shineslike star, A beacon to guide me when troubleas rife, sRemember thy God" in the morning of youtb Ere the days gather evil from passion and strife. And here note these links with their glitter and glow They were forged the brim of the centuries year And each bear message, token, name, That memory relates to my listening ear, Repeating the story again and again That she loves to cherish and love to hear. Here links far more precious than ophr can yield That were stamped by the kiss of my mother-souled friend,
 Whose token came down to my lingering heart As the dew drops of Herman in blessing descend; There kinships of spirits subtle than blood Cancellations of love that all others transcend. Can gold in the balance weigh treasures like these Let me show you my chain, and it's record repeat With love and good wishes on this golden day, As g token of friendship to lay at your feet;
