 Mir. Norwood moved that following poetry be spread on the journal with the thanks of the house to the pupils of the deaf-mute institute: FROM THE GIRLS OF THE DEAF-MuTE INsTI
 TUTE TO THE GENERAL. ASSEMBLY.
 Our ears are closed to earthly sounds
 And voieeleas lips are ours,
 Who bring to you, with grateful hearts,
 Our gift of love--these flowers.
 They grew around our quiet home,
 And from each sunny spot,
 We culied the dainty violet
 And blue forget t-me not. ''
 They are emblems of our hearts,
 And in the years to come,
 When fitted for this life s great work,
 We leave our silent home. v
 Our thoughts and prayers shall follow oft
 The friends who faultered not,
 And as you measured unto us,
 We shall forget you not. v
