HUNTINGDON, PA.
[For the Globe.]
The amber light of day has fled
With Sol's last glimmering rays,
The night wind whistling through the trees
No sign of life betrays.
The sentry slowly treads his beat
Around the silent camp,
His comrades wrapt in peaceful sleep
Heed not his lonely tramp.
No dread alarms nor bugles' notes
Disturb the soldier's breast,
For wearied by the toils of day
He sinks to peaceful rest.
But one among tho number dreams,
A vision strange 'appears,
Rebellion's Gorgon head is raised,
Fair Freedom's bathed in tears.
The land is veiled in darkest night,
From fait' Atlantic's strand
To where Pacific's shining wave
Rolls up the Western sand.
The thund'ring voice .of cannon roars
On Moultrie's ragged heights,
And crumbling Sumpter yields at last
To its superior might.
Excitement reigns throughout the South,
New marshalled hosts advance;
Mid din of drum and clanking steel,
Impatient chargers prance.
With menaces and haughty mien
They bear aloft the bars,
And trample 'neath Rebellion's feet
Our holy Stripes and Stare.
When instant from the North pours out
Legions of noble braves,
Resolving to defend our flag,
Or make them soldiers' graves.
The sulph'rous battle smoke ascends
Beyond Potomac's flood ;
In torrents pours on many a field
Our country's noblest blood.
Darker and darker grows the cloud,
And fiercer grows tho fray,
Till mingled in one common shroud
Together foemen lay.
Before the world our country stands
"Bleeding at every vein ;"
She nobly bears the shock of fate,
Her eons endure the pain.
The 'vision's changed,—through 'breaking
clouds
Our noble standard soars ;
With FREEDOM stamped upon its folds,
By freemen's songs adored.
The bright-winged angel, Peace, descends,
And claims it for her own,—
She bears it to the realms above, -
Where strife can never come.
The vision's past,—the rebel hosts
Are driven from the plain.
Black Treason captured, bound in chains,
Will never rise again. •

PREAMBLE AND RESOLUTIONS
WIIMEAS, The Agricultural College
of Pennsylvania was originated, and
has been organized by the industrial
classes, to remedy evils arising out of
the distaste for manual labor, imbibed
at our literary institutions,And to sup
ply the wants these institutions of
learning, as well as our Agricultural
societies, have wholly failed to supply.
Wrmaxas, The industrial classes
have retained the control and govern
ment of the institution which they
have thus originated and organized by
reserving to themselves the election
annually of three trustees, in the ex
ercise of which right we are now here
assembled as electors, therefore,
Resolved, That whatever, in the
management of the Agricultural Col
lege of Pennsylvania, has been wrong.
ly done, whatever has been omitted,
that should have been done, .may, in
part, at least, be justly attributable to
our negligence, and that a sure remedy
against the recurrence of similar evils
will be found in our own vigilance.
Resolved, That the Agricultural Col.
loge of Pennsylvania, conducted sue.
cessfully fiar six years, under great dis
advantages,and great embarrassments,
in less . than one•tbird of the college
building, has commended itself to pub•
lie confidence and given assurance of
ultimate and entire sliccess.
Resolved, That the indomitable en
ergy, untiring perseverance, generous
liberality, and self sacrifices of the
trustees, as well in pressing forward
the work upon the College and other
necessary buildings and supplying the
funds required, as in securing from
Congress the grant of land to the soy
era states which should provide col
leges for the benefit of agriculture and
the mechanic arts, commend them to
the public confidence and esteem.
Resolved, That vitally important as
are "The Experimental" and "The
Model Farms," the completion of the
College buildings, the erection of the
Barn, the President's and Professor's
houses and necessary outbuildings,
were still more important; and these,
requiring an expenditure of fifty thou
sand dollars beyond tho funds of the
institution, aro a full justification of
the trustees against the imputation of
negligence.
Resolved, That the endowment aris
ing from the investment of the pro
ceeds of the sale of the Agricultural
College Land Scrip, which cannot ex
ceed thirty-seven thousand dollars a
year, is absolutely required to render
the Agricultural College of Penn'a what
it should be, and that the same can be
more economically and beneficially
expended in one than in more than
one institution.
Resolved, That the literary and see•
tarian institutions of the State, whose
officers and agents have, for the "last
two years, been soliciting the Legisla
ture for a portion of the proceeds of
the Agricultural College Land Scrip,
under the pretence that they will qual
ify themselves to discharge the duties
required, have no just claim thereto;
and that a grant of the appropriations
asked, would be a palpable violation of
the trust imposed by the act of Con
gress and a consequent forfeiture of
the fund.
Resolved, That the industrial classes
of Pennsylvania,
constituting more
than three fourths of our entire popu
lation aro deeply interested in the suc
cess of the Agricultural College of
Pennsylvania, the only literary or sci
entific institution in the State under
their control : And that we therefore
pledge ourselves and our constituents
to sustain and protect it from the ass
sault of prejudice upon manual labor
institutions, protect it against the com
bination of ourliterary sectarian col
leges to secure for themselves, respect&
ivel,y, portions of the proceeds of the
-PERSEVERE.-
Ilands donated by Congress, and
against the further embarrassments of
poverty, by which it has been preven
ted from accomplishing what it would
otherwish have accomplished.
ADDRESS
Tho undersigned, Committee ap•
Pointed by the delegates from the
State and county agricultural Societies
electors to the Agricultural College of
Pennsylvania, most respectfully sub
mit to their constituents, the industri
al classes of Pennsylvania, the follow•
ing address:
The Literary Colleges of our country
furnish men well qualified to fill the .
learned professions, but .whether the
sons of professional men or the sores of
agriculturists and mechanics, the stu
dents generally leave those institutions
of learning with an utter distate for
manual labor and wholly unqualified
for any of the industrial pursuits of
life. This great defect in our educa
tional system has 'been long felt and
sincerely deplored.
The Pennsylvania State. Agricultur
al Society and the several County Ag
ricultural Societies have been produc
tive of much good. They have intro
duced throughout the State the best
implements and machinery and have
greatly improved the productiveness
of the soil. The annual exhibitions
aro admirably calculated to arouse the
agricultural community from their
lethargy, but they are too ephemeral
to fix - their attention and guide them
by the light of science, or to protect
them from the frauds that aro from
time to time perpetrated upon them.
The wants of the age, thus unsupplied
by our educational institutions and ag
gricultural societies, seemed to require
a permanent institution, in which the
sciences bearing upon the practical
duties of life should receive marked
and special attention. An institution
in which more time should be devoted
to physics and less to metaphysics ; —
more to the living and less to the dead
languages, than in our ordinary litera
ry colleges; an industrial college foun
_clod unon_tbe_nrinciole that all 1a1.1.1.,
whether manual or mental, which cow
duces to man's comfort, is equally hon
orable; a college immediately connec,
ted with an experimental and with a
model farm, on which this great truth
should be developed and illustrated
from day to day by the President,
Professor, and Students; an institution
in which the results of the experiments
whether successful or unsuccessful,
should be faithfully recorded in books
provided for the purpose, open 'at all
times to visitors and to publication for
the benefit of the community; an in
stitution, to which agriculturists could
resort as well for' social intercourse
and consultation with each other, the
President and Professors, as for the
improvement of their seeds, grains,
vegetables and farm stock—an insti
tution so distinguished for the produc
tions of its model farm—for the luxu
ries of its orchards and gardens and
the beauty of the shrubbery in its cam
pus, as to make the students proud of
the labor of their hands.; an institution
at which the sons of farmers and me.
ehanics could be furnished a thorough
practical scientific education at an ex
pense not incommensurate with the
limited incomes of that class of tho
community.
In an effort to supply these wants,
with a capital of but fifteen thousand
dollars, the Agricultural College of
Pennsylvania had its origin. The en
terprise, however, so commended it
self to public favor that the legislature
of Pennsylvania appropriated ono hun
dred thousand dollars—the State and
county agricultural societies and pri
vate individuals contributed seventy
five thousand dollars; and the congress
of the United States granted lands to
the several States which should pro•
vide colleges for the benefit of agricul
ture and the mechanic arts, equal to
thirty thousand acres for every Sena
tor and Representative in Congress to
which the States were respectfully en
titled,—which grant, amounting to
seven hundred and eighty thousand
acres, the legislature of Pennsylvania
on the Ist day of April, 1863, accepted
and appropriated the annual interest
accruing therefrom to the Agricultural
College of Pennsylvania, for the en
dowment, support and maintenance
thereof.
The Trustees of the Agricultural
College of Pennsylvania, thus suppor
ted and encouraged, have secured four
hundred acres of good lime stone land,
susceptible otthe very highest degree
of improveiilent, and have erected
thereon a college, a barn, dwelling
houses for President and Professors
and other necessary buildings, at an
expenditure considerably exceeding
two hundred thousand dollars. These
structures far surpass in permanence
and adaptedness to the purposes for
which they are intended, any Agricul

tural College buildings in the United
States. The completion of the college
building, within the last year, has in.
creased the capacity of the institution
for the accommodation of students,
from one to four hundred. For six
years it has, under great disadvantages
been successfully conducted, in less
than one third of the college building.
Thus enlarged, with a President and
corps of Professors, unsurpassed by
those.of any similar institution in the
world, the Agricultural College of
Pennsylvania is now presented to the
public----now opened for the accommo
dation of the sons of
.the industrial
classes of our State—now open to add
dignity to manual labor—now open to
demonstrate the truth of the motto of
one of her literary societies that "Labor
guided by science approximates Om
nipotence."
Will you sustain and protect this
institution, combating the long fostered
prejudices of the great majority of our
literary men and literary institutions,
against the connection of manual labor
with the acquisition of scientific know
ledge ? Will you sustain it against the
combination of literary and sectarian
institutions throughout the. State, to
obtain from the legislature an appro ,
priation to themselves of the proceeds
of the lands donated by Congress to
endow Colleges, "the,leading object of
which is to teach such branches of
learning as are related to agriculture
and the mechanic arts," under the pre
tence that they will qualify themselves
for the discharge of the trust? Will
you protect it from the embarrassments
of poverty, under which, from its very
organization to this moment it has been
continually suffering ?—that poverty
which has been a bar to the establish..
ment of the "experimental farm;"—
that poverty which has prevented the
formation and the improvement of the
"model farm" and the erection of the
additional barn, required on the expo.
rimental farm,—that poverty which
has prevented the stocking of the farm
ehniansat futends_nflora-4 , -,---46-
tle, sheep and hogs,—that poverty,
which, but for the indomitable energy,
untiring perseverance and generous
liberality of the trustees would have
blighted all its prospects?
And yet this institution, thus strug.
gling for life ,---thus excused because
of its poverty, by all who know it, for
not being what it should be, is said by
our literary sectarian institutions to
be "too rich, too liberally endowed,"
although not one dollar has been yet
realized from the grant. But suppose
the entire land scrip converted into
money at eighty cents per acre, the
highest price for which it can be sold,
it would amount to but Six hundred
and twenty-four thousand dollars,
which, invested at six per cent, would
produce but Thirty-seven thousand
four hundred and forty dollars annu
ally,—an income greatly below that
arising from the respective endow
ments of Harvard University, Yale
and Columbia colleges and other mere
literary instiutions of our country; an
income, every dollar of which could be
most economically expended yearly, in
the necessary current expenses of the
Agricultural College. And bow bene
ficially the entire income derivable
from the students could be expended
let the indebtedness of the institution
and the remedies for the evils and the
supply of the wants, to which we have
just referred answer. The learned

A Funny Adventure.
"I never attended bnt one temper
ance lecture," said our friend
with a peculiar smile, "and I don't
think I shall ever attend another."
^ ,t)
"Well yes—but that isn't it. The
lecture was well enough, but I got in
an awful scrape after it was over, that
I never think of temperance meetings
without a sudden shudder. I'll tell
you all about it. It was in N—,
where I was somewhat of a stranger,
and the night was one of the worst of
the season. Boreas I how it blew( It
was enough to take one's breath away.
Well, the lecture was over, and ma
king my way through the crowd I lin
gered in the doorway, contemplating
the awful scene, when somebody sud
denly thrust an arm within my own,
and clung to me with bear like bug.
"Where have you been 7" said the
sweetest voice in the world. "I have
been looking for you everywhere."
Very mach sUrprieed I turned my
head and saw—but I can't describe her.
It makes mo sad to think how prodig
iously pretty she was. With her left
hand she leaned upon my arm, while
with her right she was arranging her
veil, and did not notice my surprise.
"You have been looking for me 7"
"Yes, and now let's be going," was
her reply, pressing my arm."
A thrill went to my heart. What to
make of My lady's address I did not
know ; but to accompany her. We
started off in the tempest, the noise of
which prevented any conversation. At
length she said with a Scream.
"Put your arm around me or I shall
blow away."
I need not describe to you my sen
sation as I pressed her to my aide and
hurried on. It was very dark.;: nobody
saw us ; and allowing her to guide my
steps, I followed her motions through
two or three short streets, until she
stopped before an elegant mansion.
"Have you your key?" she asked.
"My key ?" I stammered—''there
must be some mistake."
As she opened the door I stood ready
to bid her good night, or to have some
explanation, when turning quickly she
said, "How queer you act to-night;
ain't you coming in?"
There was something very tempt
ing in the suggestion. Was. I going
in ? A warm house and a pretty wo•
man were certainly objects of consid
eration, and it was dreary to think of
facing the driving storm and seeing
her no more. It took me three quar
ters of a second to make up my blind,
and I went,
There was a dim light in the ball,
and as my guide ran rapidly up stairs,
why I could do no better than run up
too. I followed her into a very dark
MOM.
"Look the door, John," she said.
Now, if I were the only John in the
world, I thought she knew me. Veit
for the key, turned it in the look with
opt hesitation, wondering at the same
time what was comingnext. Then an
