reign of Isis, the beautiiul, in Ktiyyti "er

recognized the sweet bymnat hirer or mor
tal woes, the one te uliem ihpy could

that Is enthroned and has Its Influence In
every land, ever every life. Europe, from
the fourth te the fourteenth century, was
enshrouded with the mysterious gloom of
Ignerance and superstition, but irein all
this human depravity came, as by the
lightning (lash, the glorious era of tbe Re
formation. When the patriot forces under
Washington were driven from plaoe te
place, when all hepe of success was well
nigh given up. suddenly, as If by some
mysterious unknown, the veil of disaster
and despair lifted, and the American colo celo cole
nics steed forth In the brilliant sunlight of
Ircedetn and Independence.
At many steps of our individual lives
one meets a veiled Jala. The future Is
hidden from us at times in dark nnd
gloomy fears, making us weak and waver
ing, their bright and glorious, as If seme
unseen band had lifted Iho veil te pour In
upon us the eirulgence of the midday sun,
making us strong te De and dare. . Beyond
the veil before concealed by tbe shadowing
cloud stand ferth'.revealed faith, hepe and
geed works faith te rend or firm the
ground en which we stand, hope te move
us te higher ground only attained by geed
works, the wonderful key opening the
deer that lead into true llfe. Te produce

Irected labor, a will undaunted by all
misfortunes, looking upeu them as
nesessary something fllllnir the gap that
lies between the unattalned and the real.
Her conclusion was a verse from Mary
Smith :
" If one could push alar the frnte of lire
And stand wltliin and nil Ged's werkluK sve
We could Interpret all this doubt and strife
And for each mystery Hud a key."
" Tlie Visible Uni vorse' V. C. Swecten.
We are accustomed te think that when the
sun sinks down In the West, and night en
velops the earth in its robe of darkness,
that all things become? invldlble. Hut raise
your head and take oue leek at the sky
and this Impression will be removed. " If
the nignt wure deprived ei siars," saici a
philosopher, " and thore Were only ene
place en the earth whence the constella
tions were visible, pllgrlmage te this place
would never cease, be great would be the
desire te beheld these wonders of the
heavens." We cannot form any idea of the
immense extent of the universe, but we
may use certain facts te give us some faint
impressions of the truth. A ray or light is
the swiftest messenger known. It moves
at the rate of 180,000 miles a second ; in an
hour 070,000,000 miles, nearly eight times
the distance from the earth te the snn.Ge en
at this rate for days, weeks, months, years,
centuries, aye for thousands of years, and
you will reach the most distant stars visi
ble In the largest telescope. He told of the
distances te some of the well known starr,
as ascertained by astronomers, and illus
trated hew long It would take te reach
them by the greatest speed known. The
tlme would be millions of years. In con
clusion he said, "when we consider this
magnificent order of the heavens, and fol fel
low It tip." system after system, we cannot
fail te think hew Inconceivably small a
part our little eurth plays in the plaue of
the great universe
"Tlie Dress Is net the Lady," Lena
liege. This was a German essay, of which
the following is an English abstract: In our
grand republic tbe title -'lady" is applied
te every maiden and te every woman of
gentle and refined manners. -The dress is
tbe mero external adornment, which is
really of little or no account. A lady in
any sphere is kind, gentle and modest. She
docs net envy tliose richer than herself,
but is contentod with what tbe Lord has
been pleased te give her. She aids the
sutlerlng with what she has, hewever little
it may be, be it but a kind word, a cheerful
smile, a sympathetic tear. Modesty
always characterizes her doings. Site does
net hurt the feelings of these inferior te her
in talents and rank, by displaying herself,
but does favors with modesty. She feels
for everything that is human and is back
ward and slew te Inflict, the least wound.
She is Mew te contradict and still slower
te blame, but Is prompt te allay quarrels
and restore peace. Hhscencludecl her essay
with the following quotation i
"Oh I Weman In our hours of ease.
Uncertain, oey and hard te plow ;
but when misfortune clouds the brew
A nilnlhterl ng angel thou."
" Klectrical Force," Charles E. Ben I no.
What Is electricity ? has been asked and
answers attempted by philosophers and
scientists for many centuries;, but It re
mains unanswered. Seino call it a lluid,
ethers say It is a sort of vibration existing
in all substances and always present in
them. This force appears te extend
throughout all nature and Is probably con
nected with matter in every form. Every
changelit the physical or cheuiicHl condi
tion of matter seems te be attended with
electrical excitement. He described hew
a thunder storm is preduced and the for
mation and force of cyclones. He referred
In conclusion te the wonderful inventions
of EdUen, and the improvements of the
past few years in electric light and electric
meters.
"Vivlt Test runera Virtus," Maggie S.
McCarthy. Virtue, "tlie pearl of great
price," may be considered as consisting in
thedittcliaigeef eurduty te Ged and our
neighbor, despite all temptations te the
contrary. It has its very origin in the
condition of society, In the relations in
which we stand te both Ged and our fel
low citl7cns. An obligation hence arises
which it is our duty te put Inte practice, for
if we overlook it we may destroy the
foundation of most true happiness here
and of all bliss hereafter. In all ages and
among all nations the lovelincss of virtue
has beeti a theme of all moralists. She
referred te the virtue of Scipio in giving te
bis rival a beautiful captive, and that act,
mere than all bis cenquests, shed a lustre
around his character which the many years
that bave slnce passed, have net dimmed.
The actions of most men are regulated ac
cording te the ideas of the world. When
it smiles they are happy ; let it frown and
they are misurable. Men endeavor te de
something by which they will be romctn remctn romctn
bered, which will net perUh with thorn,
but survive the grave, and tiiey say it is
human nature, but human nature is weak,
and if their virtue is lest they are lest.
They should leek beyond the petty
achievements of this earth and strlve for
something higher .and nebler. In con
cluding she said : " Is It, thou, net nee nee nee
oessary that we be virtuous, that we
may 'prosenteur bodies a living sacrifice,'
holy, pleasing te Ged, and If virtue gain
net iume ami renown here It will be re
warded hereafter."
"The Land or the t'ar," Jehn D. I'yett.
Extending ever the eastern half of Eureje
and the northern third of Asia, with a
varied climate of arUicceUl and temperate.
its mines pouring luriu a weaitn or geld ana
silver, is the empire of the czar. The peo pee peo
ple who live ttnder the rule of the czar
may be divided Inte three elapses: The
nobility, who held all Important positions;
peasants and serfs, who are tee Ignorant
te strive after reform, and a small number
of educated people who are aiming at re
form. These latter the Russian govern
ment call "Nihilists." They gave the
czar treuble and te get rid of them they
were exiled te Siberia. The Hicaker told
hew they weroeondomned te exile with
out a fair trial. If any is given, the torture
they stiller en the march te the mines, In
concluding he said : " France had her revo reve revo
lutleruand Ameilca her civil war befere
the evils existing in each country could be
rooted out; Russia, tee, will have her
revolution that must change for the better
her form of government. Fer this the
world Is waiting, and when the time comes
the enlightened nations of the earth will
rejoice with the liberated Russians in the
downfall of absolutism and the reconstruc
tion of the land of the czar."
" Happiness, our Itirlhrlght," Emma
E. Iiaati. " Innocent Happiness," says an
old French wrlter."Is mv blrthrlnht. irlven

"Little Thorns," Annle Eby. As tlie
delicate tendrils oftlie vine are agitated by
the falutest zephyr that stirs lit summer, se
the awoetest, the most clinging affection is
often shaken by the lightest breath of tin
kindness. An unkind word from one
beloved may ofleu draw the bleed from
many n heart which would defy the battle
axe of hatred or the keenest odge of snlire.
The hope of many a one.se bright and beau
tiful but n short time age, miiy be blasted
in it moment. What te seme of us would
appear like a beneficial rebuke, would be te
ethers an unkind remark, a thorn whose
piercing sharpness is no penetrating as te
call 'forth blushes of the doepost dye.
Kind words fitly spoken and in due season
send many a weary traveller en his way
rejoicing and heal the wounds which In
tlme past seomed se doep that no balm
could effect a euro. As our classmates are
gliding lightly ever the roses in our path
way, we cannot help but ceme in contact
with a few liltle thorns, the stings of which
we should learn te bear with patience and
win a record pure and white by conquer
ing the little thorns of selfishness and self
will. "The Messing of Music," Merris
Loet). In all ages men have used mitsle
as the means of expressing thelr doepost
feelings, of finding their truest pleasure, of
comforting their grief, of enhancing their
Jey, ministering te their nobler nature.
The first musician of whom we have any
account is .Iub.il, the father of such as play
upon the harp and organ, living in the ages
long bofero the Heed. Among tlie Jews,
as aaieng all the ancient nations, it was
one of the grandest means of worship.
The Egyptians had musical Instru
ments two thousand years bofero Christ;
among the G reeks it was considered
one of the necessary elements of an edu
cation and he who wen the musical prire
at the Olympian games was declared mi mi mi
porler te the rest of mankind In mental
attainments and endowments. All the
earliest bards sang thelr pcems te tlie
tones oftlie harp. While the power of music
cannot be analyzed, yet en hearing true
music we laugh or cry, rejoice or sorrow,
at the will of the musician. The harp or
David quieted the soul or King Sim I, the
war songs of the Tyrtaens stirred the
Spartails te victory, while the patriotic
selections rendered by'the soldiers In the
latewarhad thelr geed elfect. He dis
cussed the effect et music en tlie home
circle and the formation of a child's char
actor through its influence.
In our Lancaster high school much geed
work has been donebyotirorchcstni under
Prof. Carl Therbahn, and in vocal music
under Prof. Curl Matz, both of whom me
masters of their art and leathers of extra
ordinary skill. We must net forget that
if we ever wish te knew anything or
music we must begin te Icurn it new ; and
no ether high school In Pennsylvania, we
thoroughly bollevo, odors te its pupils
musical ad vantages equal te our own. llut
ene thing mero needs te be dene hore. In
strumental music should be made an op
tional branch in the school ceurse the same
as Latin, or Geimau, or Fiunch, or Greck.
The lullucuce orthe high school In vocal
and Instrumental musle-has for years been
working as leaVeu in thlsclty of Lunr.ister.

" Till We Meet Again." Alice E. Spln Spln
dler. It is an established doerco of fate
that man must part from all that he holds
dearest. Llfe Is a continual farewell " till
we meet aguln," and when death has
snatched one of our dear ones, with what
ceaseless p.iiu we await the again. The
sorrows of childhood, youth and manhood,
are inostlyserrousof partlng,and in a great
measure ure tlie archlteutsef our character.
We have said farewell te our dear,
old alma mater, have visited each
nook and corner that was dear te us,
these walls that have rung with our
festal choruses, and under which was
sewn geed seed, which will blossom and
bring forth fruit te her honor. We have
successfully traveled through each stage of
her ceurse and ure assembied for tlie last
tlme as comrades In her name : for the last
tlme we will sing her dear old songs, for
the last tlme we will, as her tllsclples.clmnt
her praises. We were all soparately and
cellectively fend of each ether. Heme of
us have formed friendships that will last
se long as time shall last. Te these the
parting as classmates will be a sovero or
deal. Thank Ged, our parting Is only for
a season. Tliere is a Joyful reunion await
ing us whero together as classmates and
students of unwritten books Ged and na
ture, we will again be united loievor. Until
then we will say farewell and with grateful
hearts acknowledge the goodness or Ilim
who has provided for us u way "te meet
again."
"Peter the Great," Sumner L. Drewn.
Tills ruler of Russia had an eloquent eulo
gist In thespeaker. After referting te the
Important events in Ills lid) as Its ruler hn
concluded by siying that "nothing was tee
great, nothing tee liltle fet his comprehen
sive mlnd.und.nlthmiuh cruel, he redeemed
the cruelties of a tyrant by tlie virtues of a
legislator and laid the foundation or Rus
sia's greatness. In his death Russia lest a
great if net neble ruler, who desurved the
title which Ills country bestowed en him
emperer of all the Russias and father of Ills
country."
"The Three Graces," Mnme Koliler.
The Heathen Graces, supposed te bn the
daughters of Jupiter, were noted fur beauty
of exterual appearance. The Christian
graces were Faith, Hepe and Charity, nnd
are noted for beauty of character. Faith is
perfect trust and Is the coruei-Ueuo en
which human happiness rests. If we de
net nossess perfect faith we cannot leve.
becauseevery action of our fellow crettures
will appear suspicious. Hnpe is an expec
tation of geed. Charity, the last or these
beautiful sisters, Is the chief el these graces,
and Is one of the greatest blessings Cled
can bestow en man. It does m.t alone
consist in giving alms. .Sometimes a word
of sympathy, a tear, would keep many a
peer soul from despair. It is charity that
finds and helps the man almost worn out
by the weary cares of life. On earth she
speiks tenderly or fled, who is love; in
lire and In death she gives a hey light;
seeks net the had points or a man, hut
always leeks for the geed, aud by helping
him te cultivate his poed qualities aids
him te a belter life. Her close was the
following quotatien:
" Have Faith, tme Hepe, have Charity,
Time k races se dlvlnu ;
Fer Fulfil will break nil barriers down
That nil this llfi of thine;
A(l hone will Unlit thy path Willi Jey
And drive all uloemanay .
llut Charity will u-&d the soul
Te the eternal day,"
"The Philosopher's Stene," Jehn Alice
Nauman. In the darkness or the middle
ages, when the first principles or chemistry
were being slowly developed, men con
ceived an idea that there was n substance
which by its touch would turn al metals
Inte geld. This Imaginary substance they
'tailed the 'philosopher's Mone." Many
alchemists in that (lav labored Ienguud
experimented patiently te find it, but,
needless te say, they never succeeded,.

"Free Trade vs. Protection," W. ft.
Musselman. He used Great 11 rl tain' and
the United States as illustrations for his
uuhject, for the reason that they roscmble
eachotlierin mera ways than any ether
two nations en the face of the glebe, and
yet when considered in rofercuco te his

we almost lese sight of the resemblance.

"Smiles of Nature," Katle Garrccht.
Flowers are the smllea or nature scattered
ever the face of the earth. Flowers are
beyend doubt the most beautiful produc
tions or nature at once her smiles and her
tears. Thore is a language as well as a
beauty In thelr richly painted petals, aud
the man who leeks upon them with un
intelligent eye cannot I'ail te de geed, for
they are the emblems of godliness. They
are the peer man's Jewels as well as the
rich man's gems. Tiiey are the odorous
Sifts of nature bequeathed te all without
istluctlen. The spirit of beauty dwelU In
the flower. The poet has sung of its lovo levo love
llnoss from tlme immemorial, unilthe artist
has endeavored te paint the loveliest traits
of beauty, but who can glve te canvas the
inimitable, hues of the rese? Tlie pencil
may dcscrlbe the human face divine and
the chisel in the plastic bauds of genius
would almost seem te glve life te the
inanimate block of marble, but nclthercan
develop the brilliancy or paint the fragrance
or the rese. The new born llowers testify
the risen Christ, their fragrance is the glory
oftlie new religion spreading Jey and glad
ness ever u sin stricken world. Nothing
can be purer, nebler, mero elevating than
llowers. Te all the works of art, hew lur
superior nre tliose of nature, and the
sweetest efall are llowers. Thelr language,
tee, is silently eloquent. The myrtle Is
leve, the cypress mourning and the ama
ranth Immortality.
" The Characler cf tlie Ancient Egyp
tians," Nathaniel Thurlow. The true
Egyptian was something llxed utid im
movable, net te be affected liy time, strife
or anything short of extermination. It
took the lushef thocnuquflier and Iho slew
Interinixture of foreign bleed ever two
thousand years te allcct any change in thelr
customs and religion. After describing
thelr religious practices the spoaker re
ferred te their most remarkable feature
the leve of building. It led them te build
thousands of tomples, paluces and
tombs which te this day dot the
banks or the Nile. They wero
the only race that built for Iho
inborn leve of building. Whlle they nover
attained the perfection of form and oiilline
which bcleng'i te the Grecian and Reman
works, no race could combine massive
portals, colossal statues, pillars, etc., no
that the gcneral effect of the whole design
would net Ijo marred, as well as the Egyp
tians, Their works have slrn and gran
deur. In summing up it can be said that
the Egyptians, in spite of their many de de
flclenties, made wonderful progress when
compared with the ether naileiut of the
world, yet it is better that their civilization
has given place te the mere progressive
form of latter nations.
"Our Class; Retrospect and Prophecy,"
Jehn W. Uaker." The speaker Miiuti)d out
the peculiarities of his fellow classmates
aud picked out trades or prolesslous suited
te their inclinations, according te hisjudg hisjudg
inent. He made numerous humorous hits
that pleased ihe audience.
The vuledictcry, the honor of the class,
was wen by Miss Lulu Marin Get. Her
subject was "Weman In Music." She
said; Music is the interpreter and lan
guage of the emotions. It strikes every
note In tbe gamut of human nature, from
ecstatic Jey te profound despair. It in
spires, enrages, elevates, s.uldenx, cheers
and seethes the soul, as no ether ene oftlie
arts pan. It gives voice te love, expression
te passion, lends glory te every art and
performs its loftiest homage as the hand
maid et religion, from tint peculiar or
ganization or woman, the sphere In which
she moves, the training she receives and
the duties she fulfills, it Is manifest that
she is tlie grand Interpreter of music.
In all ether fields of art worn in lias been
creative Resa Unuheur Is man's equal
upon canvas, Harriet Hemer has made
the marble llve with a man's truth, force
and skill, Mrs. Browning In poetry, Mary
Somervllle In science, Geerge'Sand, Char
lotto Ilrenteand Madame DeStael In fiction
have ill their fields of labor successfully
rivaled man, while Geergo Eliet, wltii al
most morn than masctilluu rorce, has grap
pled with the most abstruse problems or
human life, courageously confronted the
doubts of science and latter day cultured
unbelief aud pltlcked many a rese of bless
ing for suffering humanity amid its
storms of sorrow and pain. Tluwi
may all stand as types of creative
power, but who Is te represent women in
music? While a few women during the
last two centnries huve creatcd a few
works, new utterly unknown, no women
during that time have written a piece that
is in the iiinduru repertery. Man has been
the cre.itlve representative. ISocthevon
has shown Its depths, its inijesty, its mor
tality; Mendelssohn Its elegance et form ;
Handel Its solemnity and grandeur; Mo
zart its wondrous grace and sweetness;
Haydn its purity, freshness and aim
pllclty; Schumann its romance; Chepin
its poetry eud tender melancholy ;
Itach Its masslve foundations, and Liszt
and Wiiguer its practical Ideillsm.
Weman is net a croitive power In this
art because she Is unable te endure the
discouragements of the composer and te
battle with the prejudice aud iudilferonce
and sometimes with the malicious opposi
tion of the world, ir her triumph could
be Instant, there would be mero hepe for
her success in romesltiou, but Instant
triumphs aie net the rewards of great
compesor. In concluding her' essay she
said "woman has dene much for iiiusle. e
that it is net an exaggeration te claim that
without her Influence many oftlie master
pieces which we new se much admire
