From superstition's lace ..era
| And God maligned by Greco Se'N-N'
Is clothed with tender grace
Once men beheld the darkened sun
Yelled by a mystic force ,.d ran
And deemed that dying time haG i"N

But omens vanish one by one,
Traced slowly to their SQUIRE
And yet we feel great NATURES heart
Make pause, a moment sun
Life seems no more of earth a P'i"

With sign of bloody STAN, nar

Flees DER the livd plain! 1000
But when the da, beams disappear
The stars step forth amaIn'
While stricken lies the god of day
Before nights traitorous queen,
Weird flames upleap in I1tans play
Along the suns denesne, ,.-.-,,,,
AS when the widening spark MAKES way
Swept DER the praties green
But from the orb eclipsed there streams
A splendor of soft light
It's the corona, and it seems
spirit clad in white,
The glory of whose garment CLEANS
Athwart our sudden night.
1t is as if the suns chaste soul,
Set free Of corporal bands,
Sped radiant from the mortar sIole,
Upbearing in strong hands
Glad banners toward a nearing goal
That beckons DER far strands!

Annual Report of the County Conven-
ton which met in Peacham Tuesday
and We1nedny May 22 and 53.
A bright clear morning after the long
rain greeted the ladies who assembled in
in the pretty little Congregational church
in Peacham for the annual convention
of Caledonia county, which was held
Tuesday and Wednesday, May % and
% goodly number of officers, dele.
gates and visitors were present. The
convention was called to order by Mrs.
Doe. county president. Mrs. Reed, state
president, and Mrs. Davidson, state
secretary, were present, and we were
also very pleasantly surprised by the
unexpected presence of Mrs. Fannie
Drew, our former county president. The
usual greetings were given by the
Peacham W. c. 7. U. and by the pastors
OF the different churches and organza-
tons. Nearly all the pastors from the
churches in Peacham and neighboring
towns were present, and gave helpful
words OF appreciation and encourage.
ment. Excellent papers were read on
various topics connected with our work,
showing good work done in the different
departments. The parliamentary drill
led by Mrs. Davidson was instructive
and helpful
One OF the most pleasing features of
the convention were the exercises by the
children, when all the schools of the
town came together and gave an inter.
esting programme OF songs and reclta.
tons which were very much enjoyed bv
the audience, showing what faithful
work had been done by the teachers and
entered into heartily by the children.
Who is responsible for the liquor
tratflc,' was assigned to Rev. Mr.
Meecham OF Passumpsic, but he was
unable to be present on account of i'll
ness. How to get rid of the liquor
trathc, " was discussed by Rev. Mr.. lack.
son OF Ryegate, in very forcibIe manner.
Our churches are very largely responsible
tor it. If all would unite in earnest
prayer to God that he would raise up
some strong man who would dare to
use MS power to sweep from our land all
the dist'llerIes and liquor agencies in the
land as did our beloved President Lincoln
with one stroke OF the pen abolish the
curse OF slavery, the most terrible curse
OF the liquor traffic might soon be
abolished from our country. Mrs. Reed
spoke of the Home for Frlendess Women
IN Burlington and it's noble work
IN rescung these unfortunate ones from
lives OF sin and shame and helping them
to become respected and useful members
OF society. They need funds to help
carry on this work of saving souls.
Mrs Reed and Mrs, Drew with the help
OF other ladies, have gotten up cook
book called the "Green Mountain White
Ribbon Cook Book" which is full of
excellent receipts and helpful suggestions
to young housekeepers; the proceeds of
the sale of the book go to the Home,
FIVE thousand copies have been published
and are for sale at the low price of 25
cents. We hope large number may be
bought by the ladies Tor the help OF the
Home, to be given away. if we have
enough OF our own. Miss Margaret
