The topic of kissing the Bible upon

THE TEACHERS DREAM,

The days OF Juno are rich and rare,
But in the schools are dreary days;
The bright sun woos to outdoor plays
The trees rejoice in sultry air,
But thought grows sluggish and the child
Grows restless meath the scepter mildi
The teacher wearies OF her care.
The drowsy breath of June had tanned
teacher, tired of her voice;
She loved the la6or Of her choice,
Yet weary were her heart and hand.
But in one moment visions rare
Had quioSened heart and lightened care
One monent-years in bright dreamland.
She saw speaker who began
To thrill the throng In accents bold;
Brave, lofty were the truths he told;
Through all their hearts his spirit ran;
For goodness, honor love he pleads,
Denouncing hate and wicked deeds
He was her pupil-grown man.
In dreams she saw lady mild,
With little children BY her side.
The mother spoke wise words to guide
Her brood in virtue undefiled.
With trust look up the little birds;
The mother spoke the very words
The teacher taught her when child,
Two men would lead a third Gstray;
They promise office, gold and fame
If he will stain an honest name.
No" said the noble man; "away
1t was not thus that was taught"
now pr Jttft7al nd q che he felt The man unbought
Was boy of hers in childhoods day.

The Tournament at the Fair.

! If the eXertions of the Committee which has
in charge the tournament on Friday of the Fair
are properly rewarded, this will be one OF the
greatest contests ever held in Maryland There
will not only be excellent riding by the best
knights, on fast horses, with perfect equipment,
but the arrangements are such that the whole
affair will have "tone" different from the ordi-
nary occasion of this sort. The Committee
have shown their good Judgment in arranging
a complete set of rules to be given to the
judges, who after the fitting begins will have
sole charge of the tournament
The idea of giving each knight Distinguishing
colors will make the affair more attractive, as
the friends of the knights will thus be able to
represent him by wearing and waving his colors
on the grand stand.
The committee is to he commended for its
good taste in selecting the neat costume that is
required and also for the manner in which the
arches and stands are TO be decorated, having

decorations. The officers of the tournament
