Bravery helps to make a nation
safe. A nation Of towards, however
prosperous, cannot be a great nation.
Men and women who dare fling them
selves against great odds for the sake
Of their convictions; who do not
shrink from crying out against any
evil that may menace the purity of
the government; who will, If need be,
sever all political, social and financial
ties for love of country--these are the
heroes to which a nation resorts In

THE RECITAL.

nor delights in the happy j'y of
Innocent chlidhood. nor goes into
ecstacy over beautiful and fragrant
flowers was much out of place at
the recital given Friday night by
the music class of Miss Ethel May
Leaf That the class shows that
good care had been given each pu-
pills by the faithful directories was
very evident. Each pupil per.
formed their part in a manner and
with that ease that told too plainly
that love controlled each and every
one The vocal solo by Master
Louis Langenstein was surprise
and greatly appreciated by the
large audience. In years to come
his voice will be a great pleasure
to he aud his friends. Each pupil
did the part assigned them in
manner which ref .cted great cred
it on Miss Ethel as a teacher and
gratifying to tbs parent to note the
progress made. The floral offer
ings to each of the class and to
Miss Ethel were in the greatest
profusion and most beautiful. The
kind remembrance of Miss Ethel
by her young friends with boquets
of the lovliest flowers imaginable
was as touching as it was beautiful
Even this but slightly conveyed
the high esteem in which she is
held by her pupils The recital
Was most delightful and enjoyed
beyond expression. Lovers of mu.

exercises of the Young Musicians
Club with great delight aud pleas
ure, knowing that each year will
have greater pleasure for the low
ers of music and greater knowledge
for the pupils
The fair and lovely directories

ing ola sentiment entirely appli
cable to her:
She walks in beauty like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies,
And all that is best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes,
Thus mellowed to that tender light
Which heaven to gaudy day denies.
One shade the more, one ray the less,
Had half impaired the nameless grace
Which waves in every golden tress
Or softly tighten over her face,
When thoughts serenely sweet express
How pure. how dear their dwelling
place.
And on that cheek and oyer that brow,
So soft, 80 calm. yet eloquent,
The smiles that win, the tint that glow
But tell of days in goodness spent
A mind at peace with all below,
A heart whose love is innocent.
