•'Xo season's slave be thou, 



Kather its king. 

 Make each before thee bow, 



And tribute bring; 

 Fabrics which thou shalt wear, 



Fruits thou shalt eat. 

 Flowers that perfume the air 



With fragrance sweet. 



"■What men on thee bestow 



See thou dost earn ; 

 That worth thy while to know 



Strive hard to learn ; 

 Be brave to cope with wrong ; 



Learn to endure ; 

 Keep thou thy body strong, 



And thy soul pure. 



"That which is lovely, prize 



For its own sake, 

 Then that which round thee lies 



Fair thou wilt make. 

 Steadfast thy purpose hold; 



So shall thy field, 

 More than its hundred fold 



Unto thee yield." 



Prof. Carl Braun of Bangor, was introduced and read a paper on 

 ^'Insects Injurious to Fruits," which he illustrated by means of 

 stereopticon views.
