A NURSING DEMONSTRATION.
Colored Graduates of Lincoln Hospital Give
Exhibition of Work.

Any woman worth her salt would unhesitatingly
and unequivocally assert that she knew how to
make bed and wash and dress a baby, but the
chances are that the six young colored girls and
young Indian girl, members OF the graduating
class, who gave practical demonstration of their
work trained nurses at the Lincoln Hospital
yesterday afternoon, would turn up their noses at
the best efforts of the amateur That there is art

with the right hand alone" The bath was soon

LOVE

Let me but love nv love without disguise,
Nor wear a mask of fashion old or new.
Nor wait TO speak till can hear cleW.
Nor play part 10 shine in others eyes,
Nor bow my knees to what my heart denies'
But what I am. TO that let me be true,
And let me worship where my love Is due.
And so through love and worship let me rise;
For love is but the hearts immortal thirst
To bs4compietely known and all forgiven
Even as sinful souls that come TO heaven
So take me. love. and understand my worst
And pardon il, for love because confessed,
And let ne find in thee. my love, my best,
