With the moon and listening stars for ever singing as they shine, we must know ''the Hand that made us is divine"
 Nature unites her voice with revelation in singing, "Hallelujah, hallelujah, the Lord God omnipotent reigneth,'
 The c. l.. s. c. round table was opened with prayer by Rev. Dr. Newman, and the discussion of Milan and Florence begun by Miss Love. Miss GoodaIl read Mrs. Hermans Florence" Miss Toole described the wondrously beautiful Chi berti doors in the Pitti palace. These doors, fifty-years in making have no par allel outside of Raphaels work, and he himself copied from them the pose of some of the figures. The bronze doors in our capitol are the only thing similar to them in modern times Misses Mary Wood and Sue Rogan, Mesdames Jones and Jarvis engaged in the discussion, and Miss Love showed copy of Paul Veronese's beautiful picture, Earth ana Heaven'-Christ's parting with ms mother.

 The evening entertainment was rare ly fine illustrated lecture upon "Lueerne Milan" by MT Percy Meredith Reese of Baltimore. All roads lead to Rome, and over one of the loveliest of these we travelled with Longfeuow's Golden Legend and MT. Reese himself for our delightful guides. We saw Mount Pi- latus, around whose name cluster the legends of Pontius Pilate and his re- morse; Lucerne, the home of cuckoo clocks, of ducks and swans, of milk carts drawn by dogs, the lion of Lucerne, in it's majesty and pathos, keeping guard over the lilies of France; the young frau; the white lady of eternal sorrows; the magnificent Axenstrasse. largely hewn out of the solid rock; Tells chapel, the shrine so dear to the Switzer; lilG great ol. 1OlLdIds (OIuO, tue dueSil of lakes; the splendid Duomo, or Cathe- dral of Milan, before which the spirit of criticism falls utterly prostrate.
 Notes.
 Mrs. Savery sent to the assembly hall this morning an object of rare and radi- ant beauty a night-blooming cereus, with four lovely blossoms. whose depths were all perfume and light.
 A pleasant surprise is in store for nT found secret now, but a tender tribute then
 Did you ever hear of the Happy family in a New York museum? MT. Reese tells of lion, wolf. bear and lamb, who live there in the same cage.

 A drunkard in signing the temperance pledge should remember that he is not leaning upon his own strength. but upon Gods strength and Gods strength Is omnipotent and able to save even to the uttermost all them that come unto him. Mrs Beauchamp.
 A drunkard's wife. young ladies, never knows what to say. Whatever she says is just what she ought not to have said, and if she says nothing that is wrong, for if she had said something she might have protested and saved him.--Mrs Beauchamp.
