-V PRESET TING oI- CERTIFICATES.
toward Shippen, Esq., President of the Board
School Controllers of Philadelphia, delivered
the members of the graduating class their cer
.cates of qualification as teachers, and thus
iefly spoke to the class and the andience, viz.:
[(becomes my pleasing privilege, ladies and
itlemen, to award to the graduates their certi
ates, and to declare that they are duly qualified
teach in the public schools of our city:
[t is proper to state that these certiu eaten are
ver issued as a matter of coarse: they Hast be
>n by years of toil and study, years of Jlllgent
d successful application, and upon an examl
don, rigid and severe, by the faculty of t:e
>ys' High School and male Principals of
ammar Schools. We are sometimes told that
3 test Is too severe, bnt we think this -j an
ror, and holding as we do that the teachers of
iniruß'Gur Public Schools should possess a high
*, Jffiordcr of intellectual culture, we are
rjSS-unwilling that the teacher’s pro-
shall be reduced in'.standard by a mild
®S|?,flnal examination. As the moral and intellectual
Keif i •culture of the teacher is cared for, so do we im
fwt' ’ prove’ the moral and intellectual tone of our
Hf city’s children. It is indeed gratifying to And
that each member of Class A to-day receives her
'diploma. No one has faltered. No one has
fallen below tho high standard required. Each
is richly entitled to it, not only by intel
lectual attainment, but also by an
•exhibition of those virtues and graces
■which add lustre to female character, and which
in due season will be sbed upon those who may
happily fail nnder their inflnonce and training.
Pleasing as it Is to announce the graduation of
each member of Class A, it ie even a greater plea
’ettreto add, that with one single exception, each
Si ' u
member U now to receive her certificate of quail*
flcatlon. We sincerely regret - there is a single „
exception, but we feel that tho lady may bola
her head as crcctas the others, whenwe an
nounce that feeble health alone prevented her
from completing her examination. She graduates
to-day with distinguished honor, andvrill.stand
high at the November examination’. 1- s*£
be pardoned if I refer by name to the hidjvwhtf
ranked highest at the May examination.-* Mias
Susie R. Mitchell, yon are at the"head of the llsr
of 260 applicants, and yon graduate to-diy, tak
ing, as It were, tho third honor. Tour average at
the Teachers’ Examination was 87.1, and your
graduating average Is 96.8. In the name of <ny
associate Controllers,! extend to you personally,
and ’to yonr whole class, our congratul ttlons,
and also, these, our public thanks and praises,
for the faithful performance of all your duties.
May Ood speed and prosper you one and all, In
your new avocation. ; ... ,• ... .
As this Is tho Inst opportunity I shall over have
of addressing an audience upon tho occasion of
a Normal School Commencement, may I notnow
claim for this school your warmest sympathy
and yonr permanent and cordial support? It is
tho corner-stone of our educational structure.
Without It the whole fabric mußt fall. We shall
soon appeal.to you, through our City Fathers, and
I rejoice to* see so many with us to-day, for a
new and enlarged Normal School edifice, with a
training department. In this appeal we shall
need yonr money, and your moral support; the
latter, not because It Is essential, but rather be
cause it will be gratifying and agreeable to us os
Controllers, ana to our Fathers, to know that we
are sustained by our respective constituencies In
our joint efforts to subserve the cause of gen
eral education.

Tho audience then separated.
Thus closed one of the most Interesting days in
the history of the Girls’ Normal School, and one
which will not only be long remembered by the
graduates and scholars, but by all who had the
pleasure of being present during the exercises.’
Crksson Strings.— The Mountain House, Cres
son Springs, under the management of Mr. Geo-
VV. Mullin, is now open for guests. During the
wintvr'fccesa the hous6 has beeH Improved and
renovated, and It is now among tho most ele
gant places of summer resort in the country. A
number of prominent people are already at the
Mountain Honse;-omong them are General N. L.
Anderson, Col. Hosmer and family, and General
Kauffman and family. Cresson, although nearly
upon the summit of the Alleghenies, is within a
few hours ride from Philadelphia, the frequent
trains upon the Pennsylvania Central Railroad
rendering it as easy of access as many places that
are within a very few miles of the city.
Receiving Stolen Goods. — Wm. Keighley
and Wm. Roberts, doing business at Front and
Walnnt streets, were before Recorder Glvun yes
terday upon the charge of receiving stolen goods,
it that they purchased! wool stolen
frodfchales on Front street by boys. They were
held in 51,500 bail each.
A Display of Fireworks. —The residents on
North Seventh street,above Montgomery avenue,
will give a grand display of fireworks on the new
square ground, between Montgomery avenne and
Berks street.
The Peeil§ of New Inventions.— Whenever
an individual or an association of individaalß de ;
part from the beaten track, and discovering some
new article for tho comfort and convenience of
the pnblic, seek, to introduce lt to public notice,
they are met upon the threshhold by carpers and
cavillers who seek to detract from tho. merits of
the discovery. It could not be expected that the
Elastic Sponge Company wonld be able to escape
the assaults of such parties, and It will be per
ceived by4he subjoined communication that they
have not done'eo:
Editors Mercury: I observe that sponge Is about
to be Introduced In the manufacture of matresses,
cushions, &c. Care should be taken in preparing
sponge for snch purposes. Its salt qualities will
make it damp at certain times of the year,though
tho sppnge should feel dry to the touch. Ir
cleansed of its saline properties, it becomes de
prived of that which gives it inanimate life, and
makes it liable to swarm -with insects. Besides
this, it mußt finally become as hard as a board,
unless softened by the use of water, which would
not be very pleasant. ' Health
Now, the Elastic Sponge Company have no
desire to shun investigation, and if “Health” had
applied at their office, he would have been shodtn
certificates of eminent Chemists vouching for the
healthiness, cleanliness, durability, freedom from
insects, elasticity, and general superiority of the
article which they furnish. • He would#have
learned that all the evils of which he complains
arc corrected by the. use of glycerine, which is
readily absorbed by tho tissues of thtysponge;
will not oxidize or become rancid, and inll _ not,
rot the sponge after being thoroughly cleansed of
all its salt qualities. Perhaps,however, the truth
was what "Health” was afraid of, as ho may have
some lots of feathers or curled hair to dispose of

jF you are suffering or bare suffered from involanta
dißcbargcß.w'hat effect does it produce upon yburgener
health? Do you feel weak, debilitated, ’easily, tired?
Does $ lijttle extra exertion produce palpitation of the
heart? Docs your livsr, or urinary organa, or yoor kid
neys frequently got out of order? Is your urine some
times thick, milky, or fiocky, or in it ropy on settling? Or
does a [thick Bcum rise to top? Or
is a sediment at tbo.bottom after it has stood awhile? Do
you hive spells of short breathing or dyspepsia? Are
yourj3owels constipated? Do you have spells of fainting
or rushes of blood to the head? Is your memory ioa*
pai red? 1b your mind constantly dwelling npon this sub*
ject? Do you fool dull, listless, moping, tired of company,
of life? Do you wish to bo left alone, to get away from
even body? Does any little thing make you start or
jump? Is your sleep broken or restless? 2s the luster of
your eyes as brilliant? The bloom on your cheek as
bright? Do you enjoy yourself in society as well? Da
you pursue your business with the same energy. Do you
feelaß much confidence In yourself? Are your spirits
dull and flagging, given to fits of melancholy? If so, do
not lay It to your liver or dyspepsia. Have-you restless
nlgbte? Your back knees weak,and have yoa
but little appetite, and you attribute this to dyspepsia or
liver complaint?!
Now, reader, self-abuse, venereal diseases badly cured,
and sexual excesses are all capable of producing a weak
ness of the generative organs. The organs of generation,
when in perfect health, make'tho man. Did. you ever
think that those bold, defiant, energetic, persevering, suc
‘cjt&ful business men are always those whose generative
orgiina are in perfect health ? You never bear such men
complain of being melancholy, of nervouanees, of palpita-
tion of the heart They are never afraid they cannot suc
ceed in biuinees; they don’t become a&d and discouraged;
they are always polite and pleasant in the comp&ny of
ladies, and look you and them right in the face—none of
your downcast looks or any other meanness about them.
I do not mean those who keep the organs (y lnflamed bv
running to excess. These will not only ruin their consti-
tutions, but also those they do business with or for.
How many men, from badly-cured diseases, from the
effects of self-abuse and excesses, have brought abonl
that state of weakness in those organs that baa reduced
the general system so much as to induce almost every
other disease—idiocy, lunacy, paralysis, spinal a actions,
suicide, and almost every other form of disease which
humanity is heir to, and the real cause of the trouble
scarcely ever suspected, and have doctored for all bat the
right one.
Diseases of these organs require the use.-of a diuretic.
Helmbold’s Fluid Extract Buchu
Is the great Diuretic, and is a certain cure for diseases ol
the Bladder, Kidneys, Gravel, Dropsy, Organic Weak
ners. Female Complaints, General Debility, and all
diseases of the Urinary Organs, whether existing in Male
or Female, from whatever cause originating, and no mat
ter of how long standing.
If no treatment Is submitted to, Consumption or In
sanity may ensue. Our flesh and blood are supported
from these sources, andr the health and hapi'ine-3, and
that of Posterity, depends upon prompt nse of a reliable
