j. T. Kelly's Readings.

To say that the elocutionary enter
tain,nent given last evening, in the lee
ture room of the Methodist church, was
warmly received by the large audience,
would be putting it very mild. The
dialect pieces were received with rap
turous applause, especially the one en-
titled "She Wanted to be Mason" It
is safe to say that as delineator of the
characters presented last evening, Mr..
Kelly is surpassed by very few. The
closet scene from Hamlet was very well
rendered and won much praise. This
was one of the few entertainments given
this winter where the audience went
away thoroughly satisfied. = Madison

Down After Moro Hay.

Many years ago Nathaniel Wilbur, of Dur
ham, was popularity supposed to be the man
in town who could build load of hay in the
least time and in the best manner.
One day he made wager with his three
sons that he could take care of the hay as fast
as they all could pitch it into the rack.
He succeeded in this very well until the load
began to rise above and overhang the sides of
the rack.
In his eagerness to outdo the old gentleman,
one of the boys, with his forkful of hay,
forced his father over the opposite side upon
the ground.
Fastening around to render assistance, il
necessary, the boys found their father on his
feet with his arms full of the hay he had
dragged of with him. good naturedly wait
ing for them.
'Why, father, what are you doing herea"
asked one of the young men.
Doing! l am down after some more hay;
there is nothing up there for me to do."-

TennySOn's Wise Words.

At the risk of provoking smile at our
simplicity, we will relate that long years ago,
when we thought that great men, if they
speak at all, always speak words of wisdom,
we followed Tennyson, who was accompanied
by lady and two children, about the South
Kensington museum for two hours and a
half, hoping that he would speak. At last
he made signs as if he were about to do so.
Hoping to hear some criticism of painting
we listened intently, and these memorable
words fell from the lirp Of England's poet
laureate: "You take care of the children
while go and get some beer. r."-Dr. J. NJ.
Buckley in Christian Advocate.
