MELVILLE, La, June Is, 1892.

Last night was an occasion full OF
mirth and laughter for the Melville
people, together with a delightful sur
prise at the progress made by the chill
dren of the public school taught by
Mrs. S: A. Butler. From the little fell
lows who could just toddle out on the
nicely arranged stage built in the Me-
thodist dhurch, which was proffered
for the use Of the school exhibition, to
the advanced scholars who rendered
several ehaste and comic dialogues
equal to many good stock companies.
At the close of the exercises Master
George Church called Mrs. Butler to
the stage and presented her, in behalf
of the scholars, magnificent sett Of
silver knives and forks. Other nice
presents we're also made Mrs. Butler
and the thanks and congratulations OF
all at the success and pleasant parting
of teacher and scholars. A class of six
teen, all dressed in costume, girls and
boys, went through a calisthenic cxer-
else, as perfectly as an army drill, mar
ching on around and off the stage in
exact time. All went home delighted
and satisfied and determined to take
more interest in and give more time
and more money for the cause of edu-
cation. Melville must have an educa-
ted community.

The Saints Eternal Home.

This groaning earth's too dark and dreal
For the Saints eternal home;
But city from heaven will soon appear
We know that the moment is drawing near
When she i'll her beauty shall come;
Her gates of pearl we soon shall see,
Her music we soon shall hear;
Joyous and bright will that moment be;
Well walk in the shadows of life's fair tree
With the Savior forever near
We would gladly exchange world like this
Where death triumphant reigns,
For our beautiful home in that land of bliss
Where all is happiness, JOY and peace,
Where nothing can enter that pains;
Therell be no sorrow no more night,
For the darkness shall flee away;
And the crucitied Lamb is its glorious light
And the Saints shall walk with him in white
In that eternal day.
0, there the loved on earth shall meet,
Whom death hath sundered here;
Prophets and patriarchs there shall greet
And all shall worship at Jesus feet,
And no separation shall fear.
Though sorrow and grief await US here,
Our conflicts will soon be Ger;
This glorious hope our hearts shall cheer
We know that the Savior will soon appear
And then we shall suffer no more
