The Lexington Historical society
is indebted to John Reinhard for
some papers of historical interest
contributed to the soclety's collect
ion. Among these papers is an ad-
dress delivered by Judge James H.
Birch of the supreme court of Mis-
souri, before the Philologlan and
Erodelphian societies of the old
Masonic college, July %, 1851. The
society has been remarkably for
tunate in recent contributions relat-
ing to Masonic college and will be
specially grateful for assistance in
completing its file of Catalogues and
other publications of that institution.
The people of Lexington and vicinity
should make a point of turning over
historical matter to the historical
society for preservation whenever
such matter is found.

lNaERsoLu's TRIBUTE TO LOVE
First Dress of Immortality; Fills the
World with Melody.

Love is the only bow on life's dark
cloud, 1t is the morning and evening
star, 1t shines on the babe, and sheds
its radiance on the quiet tomb. It is
the mother of art; inspirer Of poet,
patriot and philosopher. 1t is the air
and light of every heart; builder OF
every home; kinder of every fire on
the hearth; 1t was the first dress of
immortality. 1t fills the world with
melody, for music is the voice Of love,
Love is the magician, the e~nchanter
that changes worthless things to Joy,
and makes right royal queens and
kings of common clay. 1t is the per
fume of that wonderful flower, the
heart, and without that sacred passion,
that divine swoon, we are less than
beasts; but with it-earth is heaven
and we are gods.-Robert G.. Ingersoll,
