It was also agreed that we should employ our hands at our meetings every
month in piecing quilts for them, and a committee of 4 volunteered to
cut out the pieces for the purpose.

3. M. M. Miller read an obituary notice of N. K. Richardson.

4. E. D. Bentley, an interesting account of Miss Roger's Deaf school, in Boston.

5. M. W. Kirk recited Bryant's poem "The Return of Youth". And gave us a
recipe for Tapioca pudding.

6. J. Porter, "Borrowing Trouble", a good little story.

7. C. Scott, "Dangerous Toys", a condemnation of the practice of making
and selling, as children's toys, Pharoah's Serpents, and other similar chemical
compounds, which may do serious mischief.

8. E. G. Thomas, "Rag-carpet Rhymes" - a poem professing to be suggested by the
associations with the old clothing torn into strips for a carpet.

9. Ann Scofield (a guest) 2 pieces, a reply to a Scotchman who wished to die, - and
"Beatitudes" by Tacey Jewett.

10. M. Farquhar an article in the Living - Age on Leisure. True leisure is
not always idleness, but agreeable occupation, in which there is no
feeling of pressure, or hurry to get through.

A short interval of general conversation - supper - and
a walk in the well-tended garden filled the rest of the time, and
the meeting adjourned, to Lea's Mill next month.
