Self, solo; Miss Palmer, recitation; Miss Ciri Self, character songs and recita- tion; Miss Lottie Sanders, solo. Miss L. Sanders very. kindly gave her services as pianist. The Misses Isabel Palmer, Arzelie Campbell, Mary Roberts, Edith Culcheth, Jean Truscott, Marguerite Millard, Marjory Barth and Thelma Angrove, of the Ever-Ready Circle, under the guidance of Miss H. An- grove, gave some very pleasing se- lections of instrumental and vocal music. The character piece, given by little Miss Ciri Self, as a drummer boy, was the hit of. the afternoon. While the concert was progress- ing, other members of the Circle wera busy at the supper 'table. Here a great repast was prepared that would have tempted the most jaded palate.

Black) I guess the spring is coming fognto- | day I heard:a crow, {And I spe the stubble peeping throdgh the disappearing snow, Too, I heard the robins singing ia i the elms yesterday, {And thelr voices seemed so cheering that I really hope they'll stay, {When the orfoles and martins wing ! hither with their song {Here's a mortal will be happy, for he tires of winter long. I suppose that Uncle Hiram has his buckets scattered 'round ? Among the sugar maples where each . day he will be found, Aunt Hannah-#nd the household will be going at some rate, They will have to get up early, and | stick to it rather late; The stock 'they'll have to fodder just at the peep of day, For they know they have to hustle to make sugar-making pay. I've a mind to take a holiday for I would like to go And help them sugar-making as I ¢ used to years ago, Go back to the sugarshanty and there spend a week or two, Hear the voice of nature calling, hear the gold owl Who-Who-Who. And visit the old places which were always near and dear, And they seerh to grow more sacred with each declining year. There I'd hitch bay and baldy to the old board runner sled, And resurrect the gither barrel from its long sleep in the shed; I could drive around and gather the sap after a run, y I remember when a youngster it was the greatest fun, I wouldn't be so handy with the team perhaps das then, But I couldn't make more blunders than I'm doing with the pen. } Aunt Hannah she'll be busy as of yore about the place, How I long to pay a visit there and greet her smiling face. She will be preparing lunches for the men folk in the wood, Which would put a hungry groucher in the I Hent of mood. During all my little journeys, I have sought but failed to find, Any one more tender hearted or more motherly and kind. I have heard men upbraiding women, saying bitter things untrue, Many men of this are guilty and here let me say for you, Women kind may not be perfect any more than we, my friend, But when duty calls, in géneral, they are faithful to the end. Sometimes they may fail their duty, and along the wayside fall, But the patient wife and mother at the summary is life's all. ¢ .
