there was , among Immediate circles , much
speculation as to what the lin.il result ot
this association would be , whether it would
succeed In its laudable elforts , or moot the
name fate so many like societies have en
countered In tlm past. After struggling as
such organisations must for some time , this
association has prospered and to-day stands
as an example ot what can be done by In
dustrious and vlgorou ? elforts.

Last year , aided by subscriptions from out
side parties , tlio society was enabled to clvo
an entertainment for Its very commence
ment , composed of Its literary , musical and
social talent. Tills year It has become
sufficiently strong to Rive an entertainment
based simply upon Its own resources and to
Invite as participators those who had , In the
society's commencement , lent their hand in
tlio society's aid. Tlio meetings of the asso
ciation are held the tirst ot every month at
the rooms of their president , Julius Meyer ,
but the organization Is looking forward
confidently to the near future to have a
separate suite of rooms for their own use ,
and already there Is In formation quite an
extensive library for the use of its members
as soon as they enter their now quarters.
Judging the future of the society by Its past ,
it b'.ds fair to become a solid and stationary
headpiece of the Jewish '
young man's for
mation.

when you need It.
The nonest man who dies poor is rich If ho

A good day's work at what you can best do

from the Norfolk Ylrclnlan , which said :
When a boy ( ills a house with bugs lie Is all

"Dr. Collyer remarked that ho had worked
on a tarm , carried n hod , shod horses , broke
stone on a turnpike , ireaped and cradled

The wind Is awake and away !
Her loose hair btiuams behind her ;
O'er hill and hollow ,
Wlioie none may follow ,
Shn Hies where none may lind her ,
And only God's hand bind her.
Tlio wind Is awake and away I
She has sot all natuie swinging ;
Leal In tlio bower
And stany ( lower
Into the dance itre springing.
The wind Is auako and away !
The great pines roar with laughter ,
And dip like closer ,
AsBlie sweeps o\ur ,
Her wild hair streaming after.
The wind Is awake and away !
Tliu white spray leaps behind her ;
Ocean ami llower
Admit her power
As slm Hies where none may llnd her ,
And only God'.s hand bind her.
