A SURPRISE PARTY.

II nLo1 ~
Tuesday last Prof. l.. f. Meyers was
quite e~nioyably surprised by his wife and
the pupils of his school,.
He reached the fortieth milestone:in life
Tuesday and after supper had donned his
working clothes and was busily engaged
in some work about his home when he
was summoned to the front door and there
met Prof. Hortenstien, one of the teachers
in his college, and nearly all of his pupils.
The visit was a complete surprise, and
after a very pleasant hour spent in con-
versation, Prof. Meyers began to apologize
to his guests bfcluse their unexpected
visit made it impossible for him to pro-
vide refreshments, but wasinterrupted by
his good wite's invitation to the guests
to step into the dining room where re-
fresh ments, consisting of ice cream and
cakes OF all descriptions, were served.
The Professor was once more much aston
ished and says he has discovered n new
trait in his wife's character he had never
noticed before. After a veryipleasant eve
ming spent by all, the young guests
departed wishing their popular teacher
many more happy birthdays and the long
prosperous life he 50 richly deserves.
uItytTS says inns mas Dteu II u
the most pleasant school years he has
ever experienced and there has net been
the slightest jar in the relationship be-
tween teacher and pupil during the entire
term. All have worked together in per-
feet harmony and a great advancement
has been made in their studies. He il
justly popular with his Students and il
one of our most enterprising citizens.
