About forty young people met at

evening to have a singing. They
would sing a while then take a recess
and go out under the cedars to cool,
swing andjehat. Soon some|one would
start up the music again and this
would draw the crowd back in the
house, and thus the evening passed
p’easantly to all.
Little Wyman Nicholson was feed
ing a mule through the crevice in a
barn last week, and the animal bit
his finger ®ff.

“When the sculptor stood before

With graceful mien she takes

They lean forward, not a sound
is heard save the waves of the rip
pling sweetness, or thun !e ous
majestic notes from the superb
piano. You forget the m c ianicai

She enters the divine arcana is the
orator calls forth the delicate shades
of lading that thrills the heart, so
from her soul Miss Bailey draws forth
the tenderest inspiration that ev#r
been the fountain of the divine in

be proud of her daughter.
Let us rememder that she has just
begun what prophecy declares shal
be a series of musical triumphs. Eu
rope has bowed to the genius and
America will immortalize her.
