Class pay at westbrook seminary.

Yesterday afternoon the class day exercises
Of the 57th class of Westbrook Seminary Oc-
CURED at All Souls church, Deering. There

cises were of an interesting character. There

w. Woodbury..
The first part on the programme was an
Grafton by H. FL. Colburn. This was brief
history Of our country for the past fifty
years, showing its progress and the improve
ments In the electrical world down to the
present time, and touching upon the vexa-
tious problem Of immigration. The speaker
justified the action Of the mob in the recent
massacre at New Orleans, ,land presented a
happy solution of all difficulties by shutting
out the criminal classes from our shores.
Miss Winogene NJ. Perry read a pleasing
poem, legend Of the Blue Danube, "How

ry by Z. G. Walker. was very amusing, and
was appreciated by the friends Of the class
who were able to understand the illusions.
"The Veil Of the Misty Future" was lifted
for the benefit Of Miss Ruby Hallett, who
was thus enabled to read the prophecies OF
her class, which were well received. The
presentations were made by Miss Lulu
Gouldlny, and were suited to the different
tastes Of the members of the class, some OF
them evoking much laughter.
On account of the showers the exercises at
the class tree were omitted, but the class
joined In singing the class ode. which was
written by Miss Carrie L. Elder, after which
DIR. Blanchard pronounced the benedietlon.
Following Is the class ode:
Today when earth is crowned with bloom,
And hearts with hope beat high,
While memories free from SHADE of gloom
Bring back the days gone by.
We meet once more, Joyous band,
Ana gaze with eager eyes,
Within the future yelled from sight
Through which our pathway lies.
We meet today but soon we part
To enter life's broad fields
Not knowing whether pain or Joy
The future days may yield,
But llke.the tree we plant TODAY
Which ever seeks the sun,
so may our course still upward be,
Until llfe's race is run.
Though schoolmates hence we nay not be,
Inough wide apart we stray,
YET friendships strong. bright. golden chain
Shall bind our hearts for aye,
And Oh, our Alma Mater, though
No more thy halls we see,
In whatsoever lands we roam,
Ourlhearts shall cling to thee.

Iact Is, the Marquis di Rudinido not give us suf-

To this, Mr.. Blaine replied:

Baron Fava's reply was that his govern
