Selfishness wields an arm or mighty power. It overthrows that glgantle bul .wark which the prophets and the law have built love te Ged and love te man. Man was created for purposes higher and nobler. Formed In the image of bis creator be was designed te be a co-worker with Ged and man. Philanthropists of all eges have tried te teach this grand, imposing truth, "that man llvetb net for himself alone," that he la here te harvest knowl edge, virtue and rollglen, net ter the gratification of his own werdly ambitions, but te Instill them Inte the hearts et ethers; striving -and gaining that be miy give ; for getting and saerltlnlng hlinselt for the ele vation and weal of ethers. Let every man ence knew his mission. Let men ones learn te love eaeh ethor and te work for each one'a welfare, and this world will be transformed into a perfect paradise; no longer will the hard-hearted capitalist deem the peer laborer te pine away In wretchedness and want. Ne mere will we hear of strikes and anarchy; but we will enter Inte a perfect millennium, a golden age, when reason, love and peace will sway thelr scopters o'er the earth. "HERO-WORSHIP," Br A. S, QLKSSNER. Te the observor Jn biatery, regardless of the principles unfolded In ethics and phi losophy, history-making humanity pre sents a wonderful picture A wild, strug gling horde of savage men grinding each ethor te pieces beneath the murderous mill atones et death. Upeu the very tlrst pageB of human history down te the present time we read that "torrents et silent and Inglo rious bleed have glutted thirsty sands and colored driven enew s." It is that burning deslre of beoemlng a here and et revolving the worship of his follew-mon that has ni3de man the Mave of his pasalene. The great absorb and concentrate the world's admiration and by their brightness their lets gifted fellow beings are thrown Inte a deeper shade and paused ever with a colder contempt. Some men deserve cxtraordl cxtraerdl V. nary-honor, but It should never be paid te such as have rUcn by the suppression of the multitude Men engaged In silent effort and endeavor, whose namesare never mentioned by the dally press, but who work for truth and duty, aie mere truly berole than the mero brilliant achievements of physical v.ler, which are rewarded by honors and titles or lometlmes by laurels steeped In bleed. "THE UNWRITTEN VOLUME," A. I- O HAY. The year Is done, another volume la written, and as the bells In yonder tower peal forth the welceme te the New Year, while still the strains float en the midnight air we roll It up In the scrolls of an eter nity fast. What volumes unwritten there be in the arbutus I Lonely it clings te the rugged steep with nene ethor than the starry heavens te recolve its smile?, with nothing mero dellcate than the weather trained leaf te hide Its blush and waft Its noetarlan breath te the winds. The writ ten volume H an osbe, a sound from the miner chord of life. The unwritten volume is the echo, it may ba of the night ingale's sweet song, that is lest In the dense forest, or it may be a response sympathetic with the requiem ever disappointed hepes and unfllled desires of the buman beart. There is Anally a time when the written and unwritten volumes will be alike In telligible. Hebeid 1 the visions et the Oantes that have never been revealed ; the Iliads that were never written, though as g rand and as rich as that of a Hemer. " POLISHED DIAJIONDS." T. K. Cremer, et Ilagerstewn, Mil., de livered the leurth oration, en the aubjeet 'Polished Diamonds" By distinctly showing that the end of polish is revelatien and that this la attained by "rubbing cH" and net by " putting en," he represented the true and false polish of the scclety of the day ; that the fashionable society Is net the true and loyal portion of our people and, that ita lltoratnre la net the best and purest, but that the true polish Is found among these et mere moderate employment, among these who love the virtues of socl secl tey ; that the llterature et the times abounds In "masterpieces of literary art weighted with the beauty and dignity of the highest truths" ; that manners are te be polished, net ornatnented ; that only th6n will tbe beauty of the soul shine forth ; that by true oulture man's lire re veals its hidden loveliness, and thus ad vances the geed In the world ; and that as the polished diamond is most distinct ively purr, se Is the truly polished society meat abounding In grace aud virtue which reveal the dlvlne nature implanted In humanity. HENRT VAKD BEEOHER, v The-subeet of E. C. Musselinan's eu logy was Henry Ward Ueseber. The gen eral plan of the eulogy was psychological rather than biographical. lleaber was an emotional man. He saw deeply Inte the nature of things and was peculiarly adapted te understand and favor reforms, On the ether band, ha had little knowledge of system aad consequently little capacity for using It. Oa the whole he exerted great Influence for geed en both tha political and the religions lire of the nation and time. "OUR NATIONAL TREASURES," BY O, B. WISSLKR. Tha wealth of the American people deea net consist alone In having a bread and fertile territory. Te our nation belongs a genius nntqnaled by that of any ether people in betdnea, activity and love of peace. Our country an;eqnal opportunity te all her youth te become useful In affairs et church and atate. We have noble ex ample of moderation and Justlee In the Uvea of our leaders. The brightest pages In history record their Uvea and deeds. The hope we entertain for the future prosperity of our country Is dear te her eltlrsns. Geed eltlzsnthlp secures our treasures against the evils et Intemperance, the unjust actions of selfish capitalist!, tha dishonest deeds of Intriguing politicians and the corrupting Influences of soclallstle prlnsl plea, " EVOLUTION," BY E. K. EYERLY. That whleh constitutes the main depend ence of this theory la the mutability el specie. One species merges ae perfectly Inte another that no dear line or demarca tion can be drawn between them. Man, se far as his physical nature la concerned, is also lneluded In the theory. But when we consider man as an Intelligent, moral be leg the questlena assumes a very different aspec'. The Creater implanted in him a new spirit, ' breathed Inte hla nostrils the breath or lite, and man became a living soul" Evolution creates nothing : 11 enly modifies. It it only one et nature'a laws, like gravitation. Kvolutlen Instead et ex cluding Ged from nature, finds Him te Le lta eternal source. College Notes.
