Spry was an admirable representa- tive of_Canada,tall, slender and fairas a houri and draped with the Union Jack, she well typied this fair land of ours, and it was a happy thought to give her a place by the side of the Goddess herself.` -The beautiful Helen of Troy was represented by Miss M Fennell, whose look of innocence made us forget the waywardness and mischief of the Trojan Princess Miss L. hing represent- ed Flora MacDonald, so devoted to Bonnie Prince Charlie, No one could have repre- sented the surpassing beauty of Cleopatra better than Miss V. Lee, adorned as she was after the style of thatrfamous woman when displaying `her charms to Marc An- thony The Mother. was most tly repre- sented by Mrs. D." A.

Her plea for the crown was not for any great deeds ac- complished She eame like Cornelia. with her jewels, for was it not written the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world?

Findlay. Mr. Archibald Monteith. of. the Tawnubip of Vegpra, to Matilda youngest daughter .0! n... mm David Peacock. She was given a seat at the right hand of the Goddess. Jephtha s daughter was well taken by Miss L. Fletcher, while Portia in the Merchant of Venice was personated by Miss M. C. Erly. Perhaps no -character was better portrayed than the girl ot the 20th Century, by Miss May Spry. She ap- peared as a swell of the rst water, with a plug hat, cane and jacket, starched shirt front, gentleman s collar, chain and eye glass. She ridiculed the customs and man- ners of these days, and in ippant jaunty style and slang phrases indicated" what will be the girl of the future Grace Darl- ing was represented by Miss J. Forsyth, - who showed by the oar. in her hand that she was ready for the stormiest billows to save human life. _ Elizabeth Barrett Browning was represented b Miss L. Bird, and Sap- pho by Miss M waisland, while Mother Goose was "admirably rendered by Miss S. Forsyth, Elliot Strathy taking the part of - Georgie Porgie and Gladys Ardagh that of. Miss Mu'e_tt_, doing it very creditably. Miss M. DeCeu was for the time the representa- tive of Sculpture in the character of Harriet M Hosmer and Tabitha Primrose had a worthy representative in Miss M. Sanders Miss Frances Willard, the great Advocate of Tem erance, was represented by Mrs. A. C. Gan en, and Maggie Mucklebackit was ad- _ mirably personated by Miss L Cooper Miss O; McCarthy was a good Sister of ` Mercy, while Laura Secord, the Canadian it heroine, had a wor`hy representative in Miss M. Woods. The last character was that "of Mrs. Partington, which was capitally re- presented 'ny Mrs. . S. J. Sandford, while Master V. Oliver made a typical Ike. Mrs. Partington s sayings always create mirth, ' however often they may have been repeated, I and `all our merchants could enjoy the l quaint-time honored saying, Sweet are the uses of Advertisements. Fame soon reached the conclusion that the Mother whose hand rocks the cradle, de- serves the laurel wreath. Thiswas carried. to the Goddess by Miss Clara Spry, a little -tot, accompanied by a chorus of little girls, Misses A Whitebread. L Rogers, N. Cald- well. D. McKee, BF Metcalfe, A.S`Findlay;, . Penstone, E. letcher, H. mith, . 1Powell J. Fletcher. T. Cole, N. Williams, M. Nash. J. Scott, P. Cummings, T. Willctt V. McAllis`er, and S N. Nash. In going up the hall to the platform these children sang the Uhildren s Chorus. from the Cantata of Esther. The wreath was placed on Mrs. "Shaw's head amid great applause Master W. McAllister acte-3 as page during the en- tertainment in a very effective manner, and Miss Nita Bemrose was an able accompanist. It is not pretended that all was perfection in the entertainment and there were differ- ences in which the characters were repre- sented, but under all the circumstances all did well, while some greatly excelled. The scene at the last was one of great beauty, many of the costumes were really` royal A beautiful bouquet was presente to Mr. Henderson at the. close of the pro- ceedings. Barrie may well" feel proud of its female beauty and talent, and Mr J.

V The churches were fairly attend- ed in spite of the cold weather, and services appropriate to the day were held. Many of our citizens had gone abroad to spend a few days with friends, and the trains on Saturday brought many from abroad to spend the holidays here. Monday morning was intensely` cold, and the hay was frozen over as far as the eye could reach During the day it presented an animated appear- ance, being completely dotted with skaters gliding gracefully` over its solid surface. The boys played shinny to their heart's con- tent, and healthy sport was the order of the day, The poor were properly cared for by the charitable and the inmates of the gaol were not forgotten. The town is healthy, business is fairly good, and altogether Christmas of 1892 nds the people hereabout ' comfortable and contented. - We have been requested to announce that in conformity with the practice observed for some years past, the rst week of the new year will be set a.p-cut for meetings for united prayer and praise in the various churches of the town. The opening meeting will be held (D.V ) in Collier Street Methodist | Church on Monday evening next, when the : Rev. D D. McLeod will deliver an address on " Humiliarionxand Prayer."

We quote part of the in- vocation : - My Empire is `boundless, My dominion is fame, My throne shall exist As long as my name. Of patriot, her`o,.saint and sage. Shall shed their light upon honor s page. It is in my kingdoma fixed decree ' That names shall live eternally. . The name that is linked wir.h uth and right Shall shine with alustro exceedingly bright.

Their hearts perverse, their reascn blind, Those deeds which merit highest praise They reckon feeble, humble, base ; Graces whose home is in woman s heart, The gentle virtues which impart A heavenly inuence they despise,` And Woman s deeds and Woma.n s `name Are scarcely known to earthly fame."

All who by magic s power of art Have cheered and puried the heart; All who by pencil, pen or voice Have taught eo.rth s sadness to rejoice, Brought beautygmnsic from thsky, And poured them onthe earth and eye. All whom mercy taught to go Down to the darkest depths of woe And poured kind hea.ven s healing light Into the prison s gloomy night, To raise the fallen. lead the blind. The ignorant teach, the erring guide .To' Him who for the guilty died. You, who have lived, and loved and wrought With earnest hand and heart and thought I now invite. I now commend Before my face to night to stand ! False modesty may none detain, "1`is xed by fate, excuse is vain, Come boldly now, assert your claim And I will give the Crown of Fame, To her who bears the noblest name. TOWNSHIPA of VESPRA.
