press in the language OF poetry what prose
could not adequately convey Of the virtues
and beauties OF the characters OF those who
had answe,e ed the Great Masters call hav-
ing faithfully performed their duty to their
generation. Two of the best things of the
evening were the recitations by two of
Lewis Cameron's children. The little girl,
Isabel, eight years old, recited piece en-
titled ssThe Refractory Cow" 1t was suit
able for young lady eighteen but was done
in q mastery manner, memorized to per-
lection, and recited in way that would
have been creditable to professional
reader. The OF her was recited by |
Uz Cameron-a boy OF twelve andi was |
entitled ga Visit to the Country School,"
This was done equally well. The whole
audience was delighted and expressed their
appreciation by hearty cheers after
each of the children had finished.
The great attraction of the occasion to
those who believe in hearty laugh was
the monologue by Frank o. French OF st.
Johnsbury This was series OF Rotations
in the form of puns,-a play upon words,
and the secret of his success in CONFUSING
his audience repeatedly with laughter was
the termination of his sentences in the
ludicrous and unexpected. His talks were
in the chain ghtning style, SO rapidly
running from one word and sentence to
another. both in his songs and recitations,
that he held the closest attention, and
sometimes the uproars of laughter by the
! people were such he had to make
pause in order to be heard at all. Each OF
his Rotations was concluded with comic
song which was very gracefully and
} efficiently accompanied by Mrs. F. Il.
PiIlsbury. Certainly Mr.. French deserves
the thanks of all who heard him for the
. manner by which he touched the rislb1ll-
, ties of that sedate crowd last Tuesday eve
| ming, and ne will be welcomed whenever
he comes before Barton audience. After
the endowment of the Rotations, songs,
etc., refreshments were served, and social
hour followed. The Maaons of Barton
NAV we'll congratulate themselves on the
success of Past Masters night, and the
favorable impression the order made on
the numerous visitors who partook of
their hospitality.
