Delivered Ilrfore the Alumni Aplntlon of
Lafayette College, July 37, 18i9.
BT JAMBS F. BOYD, CLASS OF '09.
Greetings, my friends, In name of all
That make these places loved ;
What heart refuses to recall,
And yet remains unmoved,
Tho thousand Joys that once fmprcgnod
The generous soul of youth,
The myriad hopes that dawned and reigned
As truth unfolded truth?
A span seem all the rushing years:
Twas yesterday wc stood,
Strong in resolves, weak In our fears,
Amid the wise and good,
Who, heaven ordained, watched o'er our minds,
Taught us, and with us hoped,
Tore down from Thought the dark'nlng blinds,
And Reason's portals oped.
Beyond the realm of home and parent' care
The palpitating students humbly dare
A life unknown, but which Is guarded well
By faithful, honest, upright sentinel
Wen who by training early learn to know
What to withhold for good, what to bestow,
When to encourage thought, when to restrain,
"How to expand that subtle substance brain.
Their wisdom weighed, their qualities all told,
The home now offered brighter than the old,
The halls are entered, now the race begins
Will It be run nnmarr'd by petty sins ?
But witness now the mighty transformation,
And see how tumbles every youth's creation :
Grim as a confessor
lie stalks to his task,
Gapes at the professor
As much as to ask :
"Arc you he that stands
111 Uh'.o parentixt
If so, then to mischief,
My mind fully bent is;
How pleasant to rutllo
That face all suavity,
With wild antic and shuttle
I'pset all that gravity !
I can't bear to be chilled
By example so frigid;
I shan't hearken to precepts
80 threadbare and rigid."
This doctrine announced,
lie soon learns to be sly,
And the battle that follows
Is fought with the eye.
Then feebly, firmly now, a line is drawn
Around a science ancient as the dawn
That woke on chaos. By it man is taught
How worlds are formed, how lirmaments are
wrought;
The sun Is weighed, the planet llnds a place,
The meteor's guarded In erratic race;
Seasons are counted, waves recede and flow,
Mountains are levelled, enterprises grow;
Nothing too great it can the world unswlng;
Nothing too small it builds the watch's spring.
AU power, save what Omnipotence reserves,
Obedienoe yields to man, his will observes.
O blessed science, key to nature's plan,
That opens all her mysteries to man 1
Thus Newton, junior, with nis heart elate,
On mathematics wou.d expatiate.
But when down with ennui,
Or a fit of home sickness,
Dimension soon loses
Its length, breadth, and thickness.
What cares he for the moon,
How it wanes or how waxes,
For its phases and hazes,
And sharp parallaxes ?
He prefers not to join
In a solar flirtation;
So, "by your leave, sir,"
Declines declination ;
And though 'twere a delicate
Subject to mention,
He believes all Is wrong
About right ascension.
A heart broke In pieces
Might enlist his airections,
But not black-boarded fractures
Called conical sections.
How horribly dry and
Unmeasured is the chant
About axis and angle,
Sign, tangent, and secant!
Then what sense in correcting.
With nice calculation,
That orbital freak
Yclept perturbation !
Will there ne'er be an end
To these spheres and ellipses ?
How imperfect the system
That suiters eclipses !
Why flue theories spin
On the matter of light,
grow dull o'er a subject
So cheerful and bright ?
The once favored science
That lllled him with rapture
Loses much of Its glow
In the strife for Its capture.
Yet the difference Is co niuton
So common, in fact,
That without the (deal
Men seldom would act.
Without ultimate hope,
Without object or aim,
Life's heavy, cold logic
Would be limitless pain.
Dream on, then, O youth,
And murmur and toll
The blaze will grow steady.
Let the lamp but have oil.
' Another view:
As that, so this Its quarter stages hath;
The first decade of manhood Is the year
With freshmen spent, the period of essay,
When thought's antenna;, ever busy, try
Kmprlse's walls, aud cast about for points
To pierce the weakest, salient most to mount.
The second, sophomore, when habitude
Of business settles o'er the man, drives him
Within himself, and throws oblivion o'er
The thousand sweets which give to life a zest,
And make the prize enjoyable when gained.
The third is Junior now fruition crowns
The years well spent ; a moment's leisure here
And there, remission argues from the toil
Which now its freight of consequences brings,
But woe to him who opportunity
, Hath lost! The fourth decade, the senior year
Of life, upon him rushes like a stream
Whose waters, by obstruction angered, tour
Along, and to the tumult ruin add,
For lilm there Is no ease, no quiet step
Into the tomb. The silver hair, the form
Bowed down, two-handed clinging to Its stair,
Are not premonltors of death, so much
As Nemeses their vengeance glutting byj
Ilecall of years that Idleness consumed ;
Who hath contentment earned by guardianship
Of self, by duties rigidly fultllled,
By strict observance of the laws which God
Imposes, full of honors glides along
Towards the commencement of eternity.
A folding of tho hands; a prayer, his speech
The dread ordeal pusses; and he stands
A graduate of the school of life.
Let us
Kesolve to so pursue our course that when,
Alumni of the same great school,
Each one's diploma, sealed with Heaven's seal,
Shall bear In golden letters this: "Well done J"
xraCT youths ni 3.
From our Own Corrtttpondmt,
Nsw York, July 29, 1809.
That traditional poor author whose bruins
have for so many years furnished food to re
morseless publishers and very poor gourmands
those publishers must be is now rejoicing. Ho
laughcth and invlteth all his friends to drink.
An association Is being gotten up for his especial
behoof called
The A 11 thorn' PubllMliIrm Anorlat1on.
The design of it is to examine into the merits
of all unpublished works written by Its mem
bers, to decide which aro worth publishing, and
to have them published forthwith. If the book
so published succeeds, the author is to receive
three-fourths of the profits; if it fails, ho bears
no share in the loss. If this nrrangemcnt don't
sutlsfy "Poor Author," he Is an ungrateful beast,
and deserves to have his braius fed upon by re
morseless publishers. All the Poor Authors of
New York and their name is legion arc wish
ing to join this association. Tho fee is only ten
dollars, and those among the first to join will
enjoy the blessed privilege of having their books
first road and pronounced upon. How many
mute, inglorious M.'s and village H.'s
will shell out out their ten dollars, it
would take the lightning calculator or the new
patent adder to compute. Old White Nat (Ircc
lcy is one of the trustees, or legatees, or as
signeesat nny rate his position h one of raw
connected with the movement; but the head and
front of it I understand to be Mary Kyle Dallas.
Mrs. Dallas is the widow of Dallas, the portrait
painter (an artist of no mean merit), and is her
self one of the pillars of the New York Ledger,
where bhc is engaged at a salary of twenty dol
lars per week. She writes admirable little sto
ries and poems, possesses a truly French fer
tility of invention, and considerable power in
the individualization of character. These quali
ties arc not apparent in her larger attempts at
fiction, however. Knowing probably what it is
to have her works refused by the remorseless pub
lishers aforesaid, she is admirably qualified
for the position which rumor as
signs to her in connection with the Authors'
Publishing Association. She is one of the noted
literary isms of New York. Some years ago it
was with infinite difliculty she could be prevailed
upon to do such plain prose work as that neces
sary in the fashion article of a weekly paper.
8I10 was sure she couldn't write prose. Expe
rience has proved since then that her prose, like
most people's, pays better than her poetry, aud
she probably does not regret the hour when she
was waited upon and importuned to become a
fashion editress a department, however, which
she dUdaincd in her flight to loftier levels.
More About Mr. Stewart.
Mr. Stewart, of whom I yesterday retailed a
piece of characteristic scandal, has at length suc
ceeded in purchasing the two 6tores which stand
at the northeast corner of Ninth street and
Broadway, and the possession of which by him
was all that was necessary to make the bloek
complete. When they have been torn down and
built upon in a style uniform with the rest of
his establishment, the latter will occupy tho
entire square included between Ninth and Tenth
streets and Broadway and Fourth avenue. This
is a consummation which this pious and pala
tial philanthropist has been devoutly wishing
for years. The sale has only been effected,
however, within the last day or two. Mr. Stew
art was 60 pleased that he immediately drew a
check on his cashier for a ten cent postage cur
rency, saved four cents by getting into a car
instead of one of the Broadway stages, rode
down to the Fulton street prayer-meeting and
stood up to be prayed for.
Central Park has become
The Muli'ldPN' Iurndlip.
The "rash." aud "determined" people who
commit the "fatal" deed have begun to disco
ver that its cool retreats and isolated grottoes
are among the most charming spots in the world
to Bhuflle otf the mortal coil in. Some weeks,
ago I had occasion to mention a Central Park
suicide. Another one occurred there yesterday
at least it is believed to be a suicide. His body
was found floating on the surface of the lake,
and some sentimental poetry was discovered in
his pocket-book. The idea of poetry iu a
pocket-book ! Poetry aud pocket-books are the
very lust things to have a connection with each
other. The name and history of this last suicide
remain unknown. WI13 don't the Park Com
missioners enact a law forbidding such things?
Mrs. Stanton, iu the last number of the Hern
iation, 6ays that oue reason why women ought
to wear a dress identical with that of men is the
Perfect DiHKiiIxe of Hex
that would ensue a sound (oris it an unsound?)
woman's argument. Let Mrs. Stanton, if she
returns to New York in time, go up to Pike's
Opera House any evening aud determiue
whether Miss Lucille Western disguises her sex
or not as Satan in Paris. Did pantaloons and
a frock-coat ever disguise Dr. Mary Walker ?
Miss Anthony in clerical costume might; possiMy
be taken for a dyspeptic divine; but then dys
peptic divines are so like old maids that there is
no telling the difference, excepting by the cut of
their clothes.
At Wiillaek's Tlienlre
there has been a mess which has resulted In the
withdrawal of the Sclwyn combination com
pany. Report says that oue of the managers
there and report don't specify whether there
refers to Wallack's or Boston took his revenge
upon certain of the players, who put on entirely
too many airs, by striking them from the pay
roll of the establishment. Some of the old
'members of Wallack's company aud Miss Ellie
Gerinon have appeared iu tho place of these un
fortunate strikists, over whom the inexorable
waves of the Wallaekiau regime have closed,
and New York knows 'cm no more.
On Saturday ufteruoon
The "tiiBiiiplon" Pn I are Cur,
the Wahsatch, whic h last week made the llrst
through trip from California, will commence the
repetition of that performance. Until its depar
ture, it is open to the inspection of the public
from ten in the morning until six at night. A
crowd is always there, and the observer goes
awav feeling that he has been part of the way to
San Francisco, and that he bears off with hiin a
sniff of California climate.
There is some talk of starting here a company
similar to the one already started iu Chicago,
which lias for its object
The Jlmiiifiu'luro of Alcohol
from the contents of the sewers. 1 hope the
project will be abandoned. I have heard of
whisky bringing a man to the gutter; but in this
case tho whisky would bring the gutter to the
man.
Mr. llergh has gained a great victory, wUlcb.
Is no other than
The DUenlonibiiient of a Live Cat.
As late as nine days ago some workmen, while
constructing tho iron front of u new building at
No. 4!) Walker street, a cat, for uo other reason
than the satisfaction of feminine curiosity (it
was not a tom-cat), crawled into thcjhollow part
of the Iron girder at fonued tfic base ol tUo
front. Once ensconced, she found It Impossible
to get out again, and the workmen bullion,
heedloss of her cries. The Berghlan dotectives,
however, are ubiquitous. The news or rather
the mews of the cat came to their cars; they
t ok the matter to com t; and there it was de
cided that the cat must be liberated even though
it became necessary to tear down the entire
front of the building. This alternative was not
necessary, however. A small portion only was
removed, and when puss was found her ninth
life was found all but ready to depart. She
was at once taken to Mr. Bergh's headquarters,
where, under proper restoratives she recovered,
and subsequently gave birth to an Interesting
family of kittens. Mr. Bergh could not restrain
his tears. He has had a large quantity of fecu
lent tirades poured upon him by a venal press,
butl hope this act will Immortalize him, or at
least save him from all further jjwv-ulnt abuse.
