Valentine Entertainment.

The valentine entertainment given in the
parish building of st. Stephens Church. near
Cecilton, Friday evening, the 14th inst, was
grand success and far exceeded the expec-
tations of those concerned. 1t reflected great
credit on the talent of the First district (al-
though party of the Second district was
heard to say on Il similar occasion that they
did not know there was any talent 10 their
midst. Long before the appointed hour tho
house was filed and standing room was at
premium. The hall was beautifully trimmed
with evergreens in shape of arrows, hearts
and musical Instruments. Little Cupid with
his bow and arrow Was suspended from the
arch above the organ. The recitations rem
dared by Miss Mccoy. Mrs. Walmsley and
Mss Vandyko were highly appreciated. The
quartette sung by Mr.. and Mrs. Harry Du-
hamei. Miss Emily Deshane and Mr.. Rowan
were beautiful and loudly aPplauded. In
strumental music on the organ, violin and
cornet was finely rendered by Mr. Charles
Stephens and two sous. A valentine was
illustrated by Miss Bond and james Mccoy
with Master Harry Budd as cupid aiming his
arrow at her heart. Living pictures also
figured largely among the interesting features
of the evening, and reflect great credit upon
all the performers.

Poetic Tribute to Mis-. Rur.

A gentleman left Cordray's theater on
Saturday night in frame OF mind" He
put his feet in mustard and water, hand
aged his head with cold towels. drank
strong coffee. smoked cigarettes, and for
some time Sainly tried 70 open other ave-
nues BY which his soul could find express
sion In fitting poetic words. Other poets
might sing OF her beautiful eyes that light
up The soul with love- but his Pegasus v as
evidently an Unbroken cayuse too modest
10 look so high. and could only sing OF the
graceful poetry in the movement of her
feet" Because,
'Oat Ger the music ami light
Out DER the audience she danced.
Into my heart that night"
The emphasis falls on that night and the
date or this acrobafic feat Is given as
February :. 1896" just as the signing Or
lando might have carved IL on the bark OF
a tree IN the forest Of Arden, together with
his initials. The gentleman Is undoubtedly
a poet. as is evident from the deIicacy Of
his imagery and the chasteness OF his
thought. but he has no idea OF how 10 nar-
ness his Pegasus with Thyme or rhythm
and therefore VIII be thankful that only
two OF his verses are given:
quiekening strait OF music
And out in the stage-lght glare.
With "a step as light as a fairy
Dancing on moonlight air,
In whlrl OF curves and graees
She trips with a charm SO sweet,
While the orchestra plays d second
To the melody Of her feet.
Quick 10 the front she advances.
Then retreats in cloud Of white:
a dip To the side like butterfiy's wing,
Cleaning and glistening bright:
Then soft DER my soul there steals
hush like lcng-drawn sigh,
AS Grecian goddess she poses
a wItchery II the eye.
