would have filled the heart of Lucullus
with JOY, that the gods had been so gra-
cious in providing all the dainties and lux
uries of earth for his deectation, the guests
were pleasantly entertained by listening to
the soft strains of music that rose and fell
with gentle cadence, that like the golden
lutte Of Isafel brought Balm Of Gilead fall
ing like dew upon ones tired and world
worn spirit.
While thus pleasantly engaged DR.. J..
with nurse in the regulation uniform,
appeared. The nurse bore in her arms

in voluminous drapery of snowy white, its
soft Dan hci~ al i1xa hnIo h0v1

as the Summer sea, looking wonderingly
upon that strange product of nature called
man.
DR.. j., as family physician, in a few
trite and we'll chosen remarks, said: It is
with more than ordinary, and might say
it is with extraordinary pleasure that
have been delegated by the stork to present
our genial hostess with this, infant prodigy,
a pledge of love and affection from those
present who are this evening enjoying your
hospitality; an evening that will ever re-
main fresh and green in our memory; we
fh refore trust this babe will renew the
pledge of love and affection shat have been
the bond binding you so firmly together
these many years. In your charge, there
fore, place this little one, so that as the
passing years glide swiftly by. this infant
Though of wax will sit forever by your
freside, to cheer and console you when in
the storm and stress of daily life the dark
days come, so that this little one, emble-
matte of life, will gid the dark clouds
with a silver lining bringing to you the
sunshine of prosperity and health-to abide
forever at your hearthstone. May this
precious pledge, therefore, be the golden
chain that will bind you to the sweet past,
the never to be forgotten days of Ould lang
syne.
