SPEEDING WESTWARD.

Speeding westward! Oh how fast
The hours go drifting on.
Like Autumn leaves before the
breeze,
The day Il past aud gonel
We seek what solace there IL left,
The day is spent.
You can not change the wrongs
The evil thOughts-Lament?
To what purpose? Better still
The future with more vallent effort
fill;
And when the west II gained
The setting sun aglow with crimson
fires;
Then you shall know the best Of all

To do Gods will.

An evening with William Cutler
Bryant, in "a rosebud garden OF
girls" II is true the garden had
four brick walls, and the gardeners
were the black ROBBED sisters of villa
Maria, but surely the spirit Of this
nature loving poet never wandered
among fairer flowers than the human
buds so carefully tended in this con-
vent garden.
Nor did the wild wood beauties,
moved by the springtime zephyr,
ever nod more gracious greeting TO
their poet friend and lover than that
accorded him by the budding beau
ties OF this garden, on the evening OF
Nov. 18th
The literature class Of Villa Maria
having completed the study Of Bry-
ant, this evening OF poetry and song
was arranged AS a resume Of class
work primarily, and secondarily TO

sense almost impromptu, weeks OF

"The Death Of the Flowers, "a con-

lures, accompanied by sad music.
Involuntarily the melancholy days
came over the senses with their at
tendaut train of "wailing winds,
naked woods, aud meadows brown
and sere."
In her essay, "Gleanings from our

one of the most delightful aud
pleasant parties of the season was
given the Bachelor Girls and "A num-
Der Of invited friends last Wednes-
day afternoon by Miss Marie Adams
at her home. The reception room
was transformed into bower OF
roses, cut flowers and palms. Amidst
their beauty and fragrance tables
were placed, whereon the game of
Hearts, the principal amusement
of the afternoon, was enjoyed. Part
ners were chosen by matching ir-
regularly cut paper hearts. The
score cards were heart shaped and
the games were scored with candy
hearts. Miss Sadie Cavitt had the
highest score and was presented
with a heart shaped cut glass bon
bon dish by Miss Jessie Garth. Miss
Emily Thomas then presented the
BOBBY, large candy heart, to Miss
Jessie Garth. Pink aud white moose
and heart shaped cakes were
served. When the time for departure
came the guests expressed their APP

ments.
