The formation of the Lincoln
O. F. H. Association was consul
mated on the 10Th inst. The
Association is for the purpose of
transacting the business of the
institution.
Mrs. S. L. Dana presented the
valuable Home property to the
Association TO be used for the
orphans and aged colored people
OF this county Mrs. Dana and
her mother, the late Mrs. r. D.

stitution what Carnegie has been

paratively. They have been not
81 ting in Their phil nthropy
and withal itseems to have been
a labor Of love to help the aged
and indegient colored people.
The transferring of the Home
property to the new association,
makes an excellent climax to her
former liberaIlty. The property
is probably worth $1,000 and
will ever remain as a monument
to the Lawrence family

The entertainment given by
the ladies of the Sunlight Circle
which was held at the residence
of Mrs. Ellis, was indeed the en-
terLainment of the season so far
as novelty is concerned. The
ladies were dressed in the cos
tune of the typical German wo-
man and some looked very Ger
man indeed. The singing of the
chorus Ia the song entitled I'm
der the Anhauser Busch, y led
Frau Re Davis, provoked
much laughter as did the German
song in truly German style
which was so creditably render
ed by Fraulein Carrie Lee Ham
ilton. The Misses Nelson also
rendered some beautiful selec-
tions. The net pl oceeds from
the lunch surpassed the most
sanguine expections Of the club.

public for their patronage and

AT whose command the world wept or smiled,
Whose strength in unsuspected art concealed,

That hide their dimples mid sequestered nooks
And free and easy the winds at play

So fair prize and evn the blow forbear?
Death, the decever, loves shining mark,
Whos4 gleam tho transient, makes himself more dark
Ev' when lightning shoots his lurid glow,
The night black and blacker to grow;
Our tears our pleadings are of no avail,
When the black rider mounts his charger pale;
Both young and old, the poor as we'll as rich,
By death leved to the sesame niche:
That's De ,th's redemption; were it not that he
His scepter Yields with imparialy,
What hope? how could we dare to sing,
Where is thy victry. Grave? Death, where thy sting?

Just when the world enrapturd listening bent

The tired sweet singer folds his hands in sleep
Hush'd hangs the Tyre, and all the MUSES. weep!
