loneliness. She figured most
prominently in the last cam
paign. The fate of the nation
was in her grasp.
80, sing me sing of your Gibson girl
Though she be fair to see;
There's cny one girl in his world for m'
She's the sunshine of Paradise Alley.
The angel of Poverty Row
And yet in the hal of the rich and great.
She has welcome, warm, know
praise not her beauty's S. .lendor
Th.ugh she be fair to see;
But love her So though motive low
For what see will bling to nee.
Would you know who's this girl whose silver
To the end of ths world Il follow?
Then listen well, I'll my secret tel.
She's the girl on the silver do lar
Miss Lena Bullock then read
an essay on .Duty of Happiness
and Happiness of Duty" 1t
showed careful and thoughtful
preparations and was exceedingly
we'll delivered. She said: "Sages
have conceded happiness to be
rather the effort of disposition
than the fulfillment of any GER
tain conditions. Every radiant
star which gladdens our night,
every moonbeam, each lily of the
field, each bird of the forest and
the music of nature were designed
for our happiness. Duty is an
obligation, a debt which can only
be discharged by voluntary effort
and resolute action in the affairs
of life; it embraces the whole of
mans existence. The happiness
of duty is a perfectly natural con-
sequence. A cabin is often the
seat of greater happiness than
the palace. IT'S doing right for
the love of right and duty is it's
own reward
Among the literary gems of
the evening was that of Miss
Grace Gaffney on the subject of
"Drcaming,' in which she gave
a graphic and entertaining ac-
count of an hour spent in dream
land. She pictured the future
condition of each member Of the
class of '91, making some happy
hits, for which she was warmly
applauded.
"Spring Time" was the title of
a very pretty song by the lady
members of the class. This was
followed by an essay by Miss
Margaret Taylor, in which was
contained many beautiful
thoughts and expressions. She
said: "Oft when the heart is sick
and the soul is sorrowing in the
depth of dark despair and de-
ferred hope, it is but the refiners
fire to purge the heart of self and
undue pride.
1--WE rise by the things which are under cur feet,
By what have mastered of good or gain.
By the pride depesed and passion slain
And the vanquished i'll which we hourly meet"
The truest womanhood the
world knows has been developed
by sorrow, chastened and sweet
ened by suffering. The bruised
blossom emits the sweetest fra
GRANGE. Even the trials and diff
ficulties incident to school life
tend to make us stronger, braver
and more able to cope with mems
and women's griefs and to meet
and vanquish foes from which
none escape on the field of des-
tiny "
One of the best rendered and
most thoroughly prepared pro-
ductions on the program was the
essay entitled The Ills of Ridi-
cule," by Miss Meta Jewett. She
is q gifted reader and her pleasing
style and bright thoughts were
I.highly appreciated by those pres
sent. She said: ''Ridicule is per-
faps the most dangerous weapon
esermvented: far more danger
Gus than the sword and it often
cuts the knot more effectively
than the severity Of satire,
