tested and said he alone was responsible
Tor the making up OF the committees, and
1f the members could not act in more
gentlemanly manner he would resign.
There was also a lively discussion when
Mr.. Sayer moved that Miss Mary l.. Thay-
er be elected n teacher. Miss Thurston

"As teacher she was q complete failure.
aud II the Board want bad teachers ali
they have to do is to elect them" lie
said he had nothing against her character.
Mr. Gilpin told the supcrinte endant not to
intimate again that the Board would
elect incompetent teachers and disagreed

THE DREAMS.

Two dreams came down TO earth one
night
From the realm of mist and dew;
One was n dream OF the old, old DAYS
And one was a dream of the new.
One was a dream OF a shady lane
That led to the ptckerel pond
Where the willows and rushes bowed
To the brown old hills beyond.
And the people that peopled the old-time
dream
We're pleasant and fair to see.
And che. dreamer he walked with them
As often OF old walked ne.
on. cool was the wind in the shady lane
That tangled his curly hair!
oh. sweet was the music the robins
made
To the springtime everywherel
Was II the dew the dream had brought
From ycnder midnight skies,
or was II tears from the dear. dead
That lay in the dreamer's eyes7
The other dream ran fast and free.
AS the moon henignly shed
Her golden grace on the smiling face
In the little trundle bed.
For Nvas a dream Of times 30 come
or the glorious noon OF day
OF the summer that follows the careless
When the child is done with play.
And twas a dream OF the busy world
Where valorous deeds are done;
OF battles fought in tho cause OF right
And of Victories nobly won.
1t breathed no breath OF the Gear old
home
And she quiet toys OF youth;
1t gave 40 glimpse OF vhs good old
or the oid-tine faith and truth.
But twas a dream OF youthful hopes
And II told 10 little sleeping child
And sold 70 a little sleeping child
OF a boy become a man,
These wers tire dreams tina. came one
To earth from yond.r SKY;
These We're tho dreams TWO eres-ners
