Which seem to set the world ablaze,
Her king without its aid, or glass,
Shall read the poems Of this "modern

And when the poems have all been read
Afric's king will scratch his head,
And say to himself, I've had jolt

Little Miss Neva KIM n, celebrated
her birth day, May 4th by inviting a
number of little friends to take tea with
her at four o'clock in the afternoon.
The table was set out in the yard, und er
large shade tree, and from its branches
hung the letters n. K. and beneath
these the figure six, she being Just six
years old. Misses Lizzie and Iauna
Sargent displayed exquisite taste in
arranging and fixing the table, they
were assisted by Miss Bertha Kinzer.
There were twelve little girls who
| marched to the table, b 1t was laden
with rare and beautiful flowers, and
good things to suit their taste. The re-
mainder of the evening was spent in
playing dolls, hide and seek, hiding
switch, and various other games. After
which they all thanked little Neva for
the pleasure of the evening and re-
turned to their several homes. 1t was
truly an evening never to be forgotten
by the little ones present. And as we
sat beneath the shade of the tree and
listened to their mirthfulness we could
but eXclaim
Backward, turn backward, o! time in
your flight,
Make me child again, just for to-
night"
