"When did you find it out, Daisy?" "Some time ago, mamma. Some time a little while before my birth-day." "You did! What do you think me?" Daisy kept silence. "Well! why don't you speak? Answer me." "Mamma, I don't know how to answer you," said Daisy, flushing for an instant. Her mother's eyes took note of her. "I shall not ask you a third time, Daisy."

On Washington’s birth-day, February 22d, 1870, ten thousand people filled the Mechanics’ Pavilion to listen to Camilla Urso’s concert. A chorus of twelve hundred composed the choir, and an orchestra of two hundred good musicians furnished the accompaniment for the choral members.
It was the Queen's birth-day, and we celebrated it with what as our only remaining luxury we were accustomed to call a fat cake, made of four pounds of flour and some suet, which we had saved for the express purpose, and with a pot of sugared tea.
