The seeond annual musical festival given
by Prof. Peterman and his pupils at Engle-
horn business hall on Monday evening was
n great surprise, as we'll ~ a great pleasure
to the large number present. The hall was
filled with the relatives and friends of the
young .srformsrs, and the hearty and fire.
quent . plause given the bers was sure
evidence of the enjoyment aud appreciation
of the entertainment. 1t certainly was a
novel sight to see the Young boys, several
of them nine and 10 years of age, stand up
behind their racks and handle violin and
bow in the fashion of the first violinists of
the country. There was not distin punishable
once during tho evening the slightest dis
cord in tho harmony of the concerted num-
bsrs, the performers watching their director
and keeping the most minute time In all
their numbers. Prof. Petsrman NAV surely
be proud Of his Juvenile orchsstrs." and if
the young members continue to improve as
they have done in the last few mouths.

pleasure of listening to them at many pri-
vate entertainments.

tho first violinists Of the country. Miss
Juliet PotermAn was the acoompanist of the
evening and proved her efficiency most Of,
feotively. She also appeared in a cornet
duet with Prof. Psterman and received a
hearty encore and some beautiful flowers.

Our night 10 not yet here; no phantom cloud
Wells our imperial noon; or dulls proud
Natures frets; no funeral harp has come
10 rouse our peace in drea my monotone.
Q, mountains wild, it seems but one sweet day
Since all thy shadows were but omens gray,
Dying with the sun when stars of love,
Looked outfrom no peful skies above.
Q, streamlet fair, in thy pale looking glass,
we saw fste,s aportrait; listen'd .
Deep sung, that walked from softest lyre.
Touched our young souls with adoration's fire.
heights
Who's distance we marked not: whose lights
Made sadows softer grow in wild and vale,
Sprea' ~ DER all a mystery stern and pale.
strangt strange Interpreters Of life we're we;
Alands ape bright. where no dim dusk could be;
We tru, sd time and by its stream forgot
That VI cts plucked to-day, tomorrow were
not.
We have ,voked! passed the realm Of sleep
Into LIES action where doubts are buried deep.
No more y joyous song-bird trills,
In us no | ,nger nature thrills.
but hearts reverberate in accents true,
And our sweet solaoe is to do;
The clock OF time rings out its summoning |
We are all here; NO solemn bell
Has yet to toll it's hymn of death,
No anguish drop its waxen wreath,
Life Is ours. Ger our future glow
New beams OF morning mingliug with thu
snow.
Ny classmates dear, let friendship's power
Bind us strong in separations hour;
And aB Its chain grows less at each remove. |
Unite US once again with newer. stronger love!
