him at it's close. We regret we caHnOG | give space and print it entire. We give an original poem with which he closed: The day is fair and o'er all the land. In ver1ure clothed on either hand Smiles upward to the summer sky, To cheer the heart and please the eye. The air is pure, the breezes play Through wavering grass and flowers today, The hills in grandeur proudly stand Like giant watchmen of the land. From Pomperaug you catch the gleam Ot sunlight on the flowing stream, While Nonewaug in gentle rills, The soul with resttul pleasure thrills. The birds are singing joyful praise To Him who made these summer days, All nature, with united voice,
 Bids the soul of man rejoice. ..aI Rejoice that we have lived and grown
 Until we stand almost alone,
 Until our flag has been unturled
 To every breeze throughout the world.
 Rejoice that schools are everywhere
 Free the sunshine and the air,
 And that the church proclaims the truth
 Of Revelation to the youth
 And bids them turn from all that harms
 And find their rest ill Jesus arms,
 Rejoice that we live today,
 That each may win whate'er he may. That each may do the best he can, May stand erect al1ving man | May work and none may bid him cease | And may enjoy results in peace.
 To work; no help the law denies, l Nor yet to wealtft-the workmen's prize, | Let him vengeance quickly draw | Upon himself, who breaks this law.
 The son of anarchy must learn ~ | That soon the law must have it's turn,
 And he who lives to curse and brawl | Must learn his rights are very small. We trust the pleasures ot this day
 From us may never pass away,
 But that the hills, now clothed with green, And fruitful valleys spread between.
 And Nature smiling, wondrous fair,
 May lead us from an hour ot care,
 May make us better and more true
 In doing what we find to do.
 We pray that God our land may bless, May fill it with his holiness, May lead us here where'er we go,
 | In joyful hours hours ot woe,
 And when our earthly race is won,
