There were more or leas lengthy ar-

adopted: That a deputation be ap-

Autumn days are happy days,
So full of memorles are they,
Enveloped in a golden hale
Of joyous hours, and. day by day,
Of holy lessons learned thro years
Of loving acts, and smiles and tears,
Each act and smile and tear a star
That rises ever, near and far.

And set in aznre skies of love,
As beauteous blessings from above.
