day Evening.
BOSTON, Feb. IA Especially lin spite
Of the stormy weather, good number Of
the sons and daughters OF Bluehill met
for their sixth annual reunion in Sewall
hsll, Huntington avenue, Boston, Satur-
day evening, February IL.
After an informal reception, the presi-
dent, Colon 8. Ober, opened the evenings
program BY reading . telegram from
President Taft, extending congratula-
tions, and also one from Mayor Fitz-
gerald. rendering the freedom OF the city.
The following sonnet, by the Rev.
Daniel Gross, was read by Mrs. L. w.
Peters, in the absence Of Mr.. Gross:
TIE PEAcxFuL VILLAGE,
rustic stream slow-bending to the ocean,
Wide fields of-green, low kneeling to the
stream,
little cot where mutual devotion
Afar familiar woods lift fragrant bouehs
OF everlasting foliage unto Heaven;
On yonder height the nibbling sheep and
cows
Are wandering, to drowsy comfort given.
What grandeur on the stAid and silent mount,
Holding the village in its followed vale;
On sea and shore is an exhaustless fount
OF glories rich and deep that never pale.
fbiuua ma lint ~
The scenes that once beheld each Joy and
tear.
Mrs. Caroline Hinckley Stone read q
most entertaining paper, entitled "Remin-
iscences Of Blue Hill', which it is hoped
the readers of THE AMERICAN will have
an opportunity to enjoy, for the paper was
not only interesting on account Of its
material, but it was also written in most
charming style. 1.-THE paper will be printed
in THE AMERICAN at an early date-ED.l
Mrs. Peters sang Dreaming, the
words OF which were changed to make the
song appropriate to the occasion. Prof.
Fowler, Of Brown university, spoke for
those who make Bluehill their summer
home. He was followed by L. w. Peters,
who spoke on "Bluehin in 1857.
Mrs. Ruby Anna Foster composed for
the occasion song, which was rendered
by William P. Clough to the tune OF
" Baby Mine". The words follow:
We are children Of one mother.
Old Bluehill. dear Bluehill.
And tonight we greet each othe-,
For Bluehill, old Bluehill.
Our hearts are hers Away
And our thoughts turn far away
To the mountain and the bay
At old Bluehill, dear Bluehill-
To the mountain and the bay
At dear Bluehill-
The sunsets glow has vanished
From Bluehill, old Bluehill.
And the cares Of day are banished
From Bluehill, old Bluehill;
So we children gather here,
Filled with loyal love and cheer
For the home our hearts hold dear
At old Bluehill. dear Biuehill-
For the home our hearts hold dear
At old Bluehin.
With our childhood's faith confding
In Bluehili. old Bluehill,
Lore within our hearts abiding
For Bluehill, dear Bluehiil,
May our lives be great and true;
May her strength our deeds Undue
Till we rest our journey through
At old Bluehill, dear Bluehill-
Till we rest our journey through
At old Bluehill.
