Here the girls come down the steps
like so many horses, nearly running
Miss M. crazy.!
One may always be sure that the din*
ing room is their destination when
they make that much noise, for school
girls arc noted all over the world for
being constitutionally hungry.
“Miss H. says we may speak English
tonight,” said Carrie P., who never was
known to speak a word of English at
the table until the girls had been ex
cused.
“We finished our Science today,”
announced Bessie M. “and we d'gnified
Seniors can discuss all questions of
right and wrong at full length now.”
“That is,” added Kuth S., if the Ju
niors know enough to discuss anything
with us.”
“Oh! yes; we know enough outside
of Science to keep you talking all
night,” replied Pattie J.
“We can start with New York, the
metropolis of our country,” responded
Rebecca W. “You know there is a
scheme on foot now for the building of
ship canal from the Delaware river to
the Raritan bay. In case of a blockade
of New York Harber the United States
warships could still reach the city
through this water-way.”
“That is all very well,” respouded
Susie H., “but I prefer riding on the
elevated railway when I have any
travelling to do.”
‘That reminds me,” said Myrtle Y.,
“how many of you are going to the ex
position at Chicago next summer?”
“Ob, I do wish that I could go,” re
sponded Ellen H., scornfully, “I have
heard so much of the different buildings
already being erected for it. I am very
anxious to see the city itself, too.”
“I read not long ago where they were
thinking of makings water route from
Lake Michigan to the Mississippi
river,” Bald Lena F., who generally
spent most of her time in the library.
“Then we can go to the exposition that
way, and have the pleasure of going up
the Mississippi river.”
“0\ girls, do hush talking about the
Mississippi river, and let me tell you
about the letter I got today,” said
M mie B., “Papa says

During the laugh which followed this

ohool room of the Lucy L'obb, Mrs.
Lipscomb’s clas3 in Shakespeare will
give a little entertiinment in the way
of debate. The question under consid
eration, which arose from the analysis
of the play of J ulius Cm .ar, is “Wheth
er Brutus was a patriot or traitor.” It
will be warmly discussed by Misses
Allene Walker, Ruth Sanders, Myrtle
Yow, Mamie Bussey, Lula Slaton and
Ellen Hillyer. Mr. Princs Hodgson
will decide the all important question
on the merits of the arguments ad
vanced. To complete the programme
for the evening Miss Katherine Tift
will give one or two selections from the
play and Mrs. Lipscomb will read an
essay on the character of Mark Antony.
The class being so large the invitations
will neoessarily be limited.
The Schub'rt Club under the direc
tion of Miss Tyler gave another of their
delightful entertainments on Friday
last. The evening was devoted to Men-
deissohn, and was opened by a short
biographioal sketch of the composes by
Miss Hattie Schwab, which was foliow-
by an essay on the character of his
compositions by Mis3 Crowell Manly.
Misses Edna Pope and Pearl Jackson
reflected great credit on themselves as
well as on their instrumental teacher,
Mis3 Moore, by the manner in in which
they interpreted two of Mendels=ohn’s
most difficult selections. The Vocal
Duett by Misses Tift and Jackson and
the Solo by Miss May Rounsaville elic
ited great applause from the rest of the
club, and as this was the first appear
ance of these young aspirants before
the club they were greatly gratified by
their reception.
Miss Tyler’s Organ Solo’ 1st move
ment of 5th Sonata, was most enthusi-
as'ically received. She ceitainly touch
es this instrument with a master band.
In answer to repeated encores she play
ed first Annie Laurie and then Auli
Lang Syne, melodies that oan never
die, but will live as long as friendship
and love will live. The evening closed
by a chorus sung by the class which
left bright impressions on all who were
present. q. l. & F.

Roses changed to waxen lilies
On the pearly, dimpled cheek,

Oh, if they might only speak.

Not one trace of pain or care:
And I question, are the angels

In the sleep of God’s tx 1 >ved.

It is not wise to tty to cast shadows
actoss life’s pathway. J.»y and sorrow
both have their blessings. Tho sorrows
of life exercise a wholesome influence
upon its j )ya. The possibity of j>y should
prove a restraint upon that which is uo-
re&sjnabld sod unwholaome in sorrow.
R.-al sanctfying sorrow does not find its
truest ex press'>n in heavily-veiled faces,
nor in dark, gloomy houses. A good and
faithful servant ot the Lord, who in loving
service, had walked iu the light for many
years, made this request, in bis last days:
After my death and burial I do not wish
my family lo mourn my loss, nor keep
the house closed, but throw wide the
ehutters and let “God’s sunshine iu.”
There is a refining influence in sorrow
which, if fre. lv yielded to, will lead to a
truer acd nobler Joy. Instead of a mor
bid brooding over out’s ills, the heart will
go out towards others in a loving minis
try. And yet too many fail in this. It is'
true that, *
“Some may all the better see,
For paia, and blight, and fears;
But O, how many eyes there be,
Cannot see God for tears.”
Let God’s sunshine in, for it is selfish to
keep it out. Such a spiiit in sorrows
when cherished unduly, turns grief into a
spirit of rebellion. Self becomes first and
foremost. All the arbitrary means used,
professedly b cause there is eotrow, con
firms and strengthens such a narrow and
unhealty condition of the heart. A aelf-
Bb gratification of one’s cherished feel
ings in griet tak* s away from thrir sancti
fying power. It is a grievous wtong to
the soul, when one needs to forget self in
tbe higher claims of the L >rd, who has
sorely smitten. He .!•.*; h not afflict will
ingly. and selfish grief should not prevent
or.e from entering into the full enjoyment
of the peace aud spiritual power which
grow of His sore smilings. Go where we
may, some one remarks, we seem my ate*
riou-ly to carry our own circumfenco of
darkness with us. But we need the light
and should not try to keep it out.
Let God’s sunshine ia.for to withhold it is
wrong to others. Too often th 'se who are
in mourning for theitdead l ave forgotten
their duty to the liviug. Wuy alould a
jfatber or mother banish the light, hush the
merry voices of the children, and take
from ihem their pleasure because some
loved one is gom? Wliyab.iuida wife so
brood over the loss or her husband as to
be remiss in a loving ministry which is
her .children’s due, aud should be for be r

have not yet darkened. L:t the bilter

Going to the house of Dr. Camak he

Mrs. Camak had no smaller change

would take som** ii it could be changed.
The boy returned to Mr. Denny, re
ceived the $1.80 tequired, and Btarted to
sell the apples.
In the meantime the lady had changed
her mind decidedly not to purchase.
