or herself of the opportunity.
The time of play and the fire.
quency will be entirely up to the
parents and when the children
come home from the grounds
Monday at 4:30 p. m. they will
have slips with the necessary in
formation to the parents.
The children who come Monday
to play are requested to meet at
the south door of the school house
where they will be met by Miss

rather than to lose the business they
took all he had and called it square.

In the softly falling twilight
Of weary weary day,
With quiet step entered
Just to pass the time away.
l was breeding DER some trouble
Which had met me unawares,
When little voice came ringing:
Me is creeping up the stairs"
All! it touched the tender heart-string,
With breath and force divine
And such melodies awakened
AS no wording can define;
And turned to see my darling,
All forgetful of my cares,
When l saw the little creature
Slowly creeping up the stairs.
Step by step she bravely clambered,
On her little hands and knees,
Keeping up constant chattering,
Like the magpies in the trees:
Till at last she reached the topmost,
When Ger all her worlds affairs,
She, delighted, stood, victor,
After creeping up the stairs.
Painting heart, behold an image
Of mans brief and struggling life,
Whose best prizes must be captured
With noble-earnest strife.
Onward, upward, reaching over,
Bending to the weight of cares,
Hoping, fearing, still expecting,
We go creeping up the stairs.
On the floor may be no carpet;
By the side may be no rail;
Hands and knees may often pain us,
And our hearts may almost fail.
Still, above, there is glory,
Which no sinfulness impairs,
With its rest and joy, forever,
After creeping up the stairs.
