A FABLE FROM KSOP.
(Paraphrase.)

(Paraphrase)
Bill Jones had two sweethearts who loved
him right well,
And one was older than he,
While the other was younger by far than
Bill Jones
Could e'er again hope to be.
Bill Jones had luxuriant hair, but alas.
Old Nature will have her own way!
For some of his once raven locks had be-
gun
To exhibit broad streaks of gray
Now it fortuned that Jones' most elderly
flame
Had formed delectable plan
To make him appear in the eyes OF the
An aged and white-haired man.
So, whenever he called upon her she took
pains
To pluck the dark hairs from his head,
Supposing. of course, in her feminine way,
That white ones would come in their
stead.
Meanwhile, the more youthful of Jones
Conceived the fine notion that she
Could transform him in looks from thirty
and-five
To a rake of about twenty-three.
Hence. whenever he called upon her, she
pulled out
Every guilty gray hair she could find;
The thought that a black one would grow
in its place
Having taken firm root in her mind.
Now alas for Bill Jones, 1t at length
come to pass
That his noddle contained not a hair;
From his older love, then, he received a
cold glance;
From the younger he got the dull stare.
MORAL.
The man who starts out to please everyone
About ninety-nine chances to one
OF finding, at last, when he sinks to his
rest,
That, in truth, he has satisfied none!

After this visit with Cunningham 1

divide with figures below twenty, and

second class perform written addition
and subtraction with their own brown
paper and charcoal, and heard them
read in the first series of the Mature
Readers l had sent. i saw the pupils
with the same rude material write from

and tackled to the wall, and / saw them
make their orderly exit, singing as they

talk themselves in praise of him.

Then Cunningham borrowed the old
horse in the place from one neighbor,
and from another a cart, which, if not
luxurious, was a great improv ement
upon my conveyance of the morning
Leaving the meeting in progress we
drove away in the fast twilight-for

Cunningham slept at the "hotel'' also,
in order to say good-by in the morning
but when | came down ready to leave,
l found that during the night a sick
man back in the woods had sent for him
in urgent haste, and he had gone, leav-

terday arrangements for the midwinter
concert 10 be given by the society were
discussed. II was decided that the event
should take place in the Masonic Temple
instead Of al the Academy, and the date
was set for January 18th.
The programme has not yet been made

n was tactily determined that it should
consist OF choruses. and qlartettes for
ladies' and gentlemen. Hall, Bright

lions from the Hymn Of Praise viii hold
conspicuous places on the programme. It
is expected that fully 175 members OF
