On Friday evening", May 18th. Mr..
and Mrs.. T. W. Brame opened their
hospitable doors to the "Qui ViVe
Club. The cherry decorations OF
crimson roses, which welcomed the
guests as they entered, banished entire
ly every thought of the weepy condl
tons without. The parlor itself, in
immaculate lilies and feathery greens,
added still further its draught of Lethe.
Finch was the chief attraction for
the evening, and as we slipped the le.-
licious nectar, so in keeping with the
spirit OF the hour, we dealt our sevens
and elevtns with an enthusiasm never
tagging. Never has an evening passed
more pleasantly than did this one. 1t
seemed like old times when we glanced
nay, even listened-at the head table,
for we had company there. Guess
who. Didn't yon hear him2 maybe
you will recall when You know that
the gentleman prize was won by Mr..
Van c. Cavett and the lady's by Mrs. G.
II, Spessard. Mrs. Van Cavett drew
the consolation. The prizes were all
in their respective lines,
being book, a sofa pillow and pin tray.
After the game very enjoyable re-
'reshmentsswere served, As the red |
and white Of roses and lilies had wei
'omed us, so the red and white of Der
les and cream was mingled in our
'dieus. Reluctantly we turned away,
or such cougenial homes are rare.

IT T was the winter wild
II While the leaven-born child
All .meanly wrapt iii the rude manger lies;
l Nature, in awe Of him,
Had doffed her gaudy TRIM
With her great Master SO to synlpathse:
It was no season then for her
To wanton with the sun, her lusty paramount.
Only with speeches fair
She woos the gentle air,
To hide her guilty front with innocent snow,
lAnd on her naked shame,
Pollute with sinful blame,
The sanity veil Of maiden-white to throw;
Confoundcd, that Her Makers eyes,
Should look SO near upon her foul deformities.
But he, her fears to cease,
Sent down the meekey'd Peace;
She, crownd with olive green, came softly sliding .

With turtle wing the arnorous clouds dividingI

As if they surely knew their sovereign lord was BY.
But peaceful was the night,
Wherein. the Prince OF Light

The winds, with wonder whist,
Smoothly the waters kss'd,
Whispering new joys the mild ocean, sa
Who now hath quite forgot to rave, ss
While birds Of calm sit brooding on the charmed wave
WI
The stars, with deep amaze, y
Stand fx'd in steadfast gaze,

And, though the shady gloom
Had given day her room,

Than his bright throne, burning axletree could bear

The shepherds on the lawn,
