UPBILON BETA.—The annual supper of the
Upsilon Beta fraternity of Muhlenburg College
was held, at the Continental Saloon, lust week.
The table was loaded with goodlythings and bears
testimony that the proprietor Mr. Charles Lau
denberger Is caterer of the first quality. The usu
al toasts followed and several pretty speeches were
made. The pleasant Company broke up at an
early hour.
COMEDY ON TILE EIVALS.—A funny Kane
occurred at the East Penn Junction Thursday.
Mr. Bergenstock who drities the Allen House
Coach and John Yager who drives the Amer
ican and Eagle Coach quarreled over a pas-.
senger. Instead of fighting for the passenger
and taking half each they incontinently pitch
ed into one another and blacked each others
eyes. Yager got the passenger and a mauling
while Bergenstock only got the mauling and
no passenger. Thats the way the story's told.
Our hoepitality is so rampagious we fight for
our guests at the depot.
THE favorable prospects for a large fruit
crop this season causes the question often to be
asked," Wherecan I get the best trait jar I" The
Invariable answer Is at the old Allentown China
btore, 37 East Hamilton street, headquarters for
jars. The proprietor, T. C. Kernalion, being the
extensive and experienced dealer In jars, besides
being a thorough mechanic, those commercial
Jugglers called agents cannot blow and puff off
their Inferior jars ou him as they do on some
other dealers. Ile Is, as usual, this season again
ahead of other dealers, having contracted with the
patentee for a largo supply of the latest Improved
and best jar ever heretofore offered to the public.
Every one should at least see this jar before pur
chasing elsewhere, as It is the cheapest as well as
as the best In the market. fje2olwd&lmw
ANOTHER RAILROAD THROUGH ALLEN•.
TowN.—Several 1110111113 ago we published the
route for a new railroad from Now York to the
Schuylkill Coal Regions, to run between the Mor
ris and Essex and New Jersey Central Railroads
and saving in distance from twelve to fifteen
miles from New York to the Delaware, crossing
that stream at Milford and running to Allentown,
a distance of eighteen miles. We believe the lee.
her extension of the road will strike the Schuyl
kill In the neighborhood of Auburn. The N. Y.
Tribune speaking of this road says :
On Tuesday evening the president, directors,
engineers, and contractors of this new road met
a number of Pennsylvania capitalists, interested
In the Schuylkill region, at the American Hotel
in Allentown: A sumptuous supper was spread
for the occasion, which was described asecarcely
Inferior to Sir Morton Peto's famous railroad ban
quet, given some years ago at Delmonico's in
New York. After full justice had been done to
the solids and liquids so abundantly provided, an
Impromptu meeting was organized, with Col. C.
B. McKnight, President of ono of the National
Banks of Reading, In the chair. The MM. Frank
E. Hughes of Pottsville was then called upon for
a speech. Mr. Isaac Eckert, Mr. H. S. Eckert,
Dr. Diller Luther, all of Reading, and other capi
talists interested In the Schuylkill Valley, were
present and participated in the meeting, the result
of which was n determination to press forward and
seize this immense traffic while the opportunity
Was presented.
The New Jersey West Line Company, Is com
posed of capitalists of New York and residents
along Its !Inc, and hoc fortunately escaped the
clutches of the professional railroad Jobbers. By
special act of the New Jereey Legislature the
townships through whirls the road passes are au
thorized to exchange their bonds for its Wick, and
a number of them have done so to the amount of
$lOO,OOO each. John H. Anderson, Elq., of Bons
erect Co., N. J., is President, Beverley C. Builders,
Esq., Secretary, Jarvis Johnson, Treasurer, and
.7. B. Bassinger, Chlef Engineer Audi Vice Presi
dent.
The Directors are John H. Anderson, J. B. Bag
singer, Joseph Alward, of Elizabeth ; Samuel B.
Smith of New York ; Jarvis Johnson of Union
County, N. J. ; Fred. W. Gaggill, of New York ;
William J. Osborn, New York ; Samuel H. Das
singer, Union County, and John Van Nest, Som
erset County, N. J. The contract for blinding and 1 ,
equipping the whole line to the Delaware River,
including the bridge over that river, has been let
to Messrs. E. Hanford Co., who are required to
have the entire road in running order by the filst
of December, 1871. This ilrm is composed of Mr.
E. Hanford, Nicholas Hunter of the Naselem Iron
Works, Berke County, Peso., and Caleb 11. Hallo
of tlic firm of Malin Mindoro, Iron merchants,
i'hiladelph la.
For the present, the eastern terminus of the road
'will remain at Newark, though negotiations are
pending for running arrangements to the Hudson
River ruining over °neer the existing roads. UM
inately, the West Line road will build a road of
their Own to Jc:icy City. Ail the bridges, cul
verts, embankments, dtc„ are building, with a
ew to accommodating a double track, though the
:econd track will not be laid until the Ardis com
p ted throughout the full length of the lido.

and It Is hinted that the story was contradietedby
a Chicago paper in the Interest of a large circus
manager, for a monetary consideration cal wu ted

A,ruN upon a slang phrase, perpetrated in a
material form, is traveling around the country.
It is simply a dilapidated stair, fastened be.
tween two old book covers,on which . is pasted a
picture of a prominent public man driving off
flies with a broom. This curious missive trav
els from post-office to post-office. It is stamp
ed with the post marks of cities in Illinois, in
Oregon, on. the Pacific Railroad, on the Pana

enigma, posts it to a new station, and prolongs
the wanderings of the "shoe fly."
A Qufmn CAS.F. OF POISONING.—War
against dogs having been duly declared in
Chicago, the policemen were supplied with
little pelleja of raw beef, with a few grains'of
atrychinia enclosed in each. These, in the
slang dialect of the police, came to be known
ds " lunch," A new member of the force,
probably from the rural districts, took this
term In its literal sense, and waxing . hungry
in the course of Ids nocturnal rounds, refresh
ed himself with syveral of the official pellets.
Feeling symptoms of colic soon after, he re
sorted to the standard prescription of brandy
and peppermint, but as it "Instantly didn't
do no good," he called in the doctor, \VIM
pronounced the disease "appoplexy of the
bowels.'' Fortunately, however, the patient
happened to remark dial he " telt bully before
eating the lunch." This led to an inquiry
into,tho nature of the lunch and a better
derstanding of the case, and the man is now
likely to recover.
rItEtiENTATION.—A. very pleasant incident
occurred last week on the occasion of the celebra
tion of Mr. James 1.. Lackey's 70111 birthday.
Mr. Lackey has been in the Prothonotary'a (Alice
for a great many years past, and the young mem
bers of the bar,who have been admitted during the
time felt themselves indebted to him for many acts
of kindness and consideration shown to them by
him in performing the duties of his otlielal posi
tion. They therefore conspired together to sur
prise him on this occasion with a present as a mark
of their esteem and regard. Mr. Lackey la a smo
ker, and, as .they were desirous of combining the
useful with the ornamental, they presented him
a splendid meerschaum pipe, a cigar stand of lava,
a quantity of cigars and a stock of smoking tobite
co. The presentiltion speech was made by Ed
ward Harvey, Esq., In his usual happy style.
Ile expressed the feeling of friendship and rvg,a rd
entertained by the givers towards Mr. Lackey, and
their appreciation of his kindness and courtesy—
poorly expressed' in the gift.
Mr. Lackey endeavored to make a snitable reply,
but lie inns so taken by surprise and overcome with
emotion that he was positively unable to do so.
Ills emotion however, spoke, for him and showed
bow easily the heart is touched by a little act of
kindness that costs little In money but Is rich in
d red In the generosity of Its purpose and the Mud
feeling It displays.
The occusiou was one honorable alike to the
givers and receivers. • Youth honors itself lu
reverenclugage and recognizing true merit, while
ago that .ecnnande the respect and merits the
homage of youtb,hl eminently worthy of respectful
and affectionate recognition.
LEIIIGII REGISTER, ALLENTOWN, WEDNESDAY, JULY 6 1870.

PENNSYLVANIA ENTEIIPIIIBF. —A number
of Pennsylvanians went South at the close of
the rebellion and settled there, contributing
their money and muscle to build up that sec
tion. They are largely interested in the sea
islands of the ('orolinas and in the mainland
of the whole Atlantic coast. They have tak
en hold of the injured railways, repaired
them, bought into and increased them. They
are doing more than this. At two points, in
Virginia and Georgia, they are creating in•
dustiles with which they are familiar at home,
under auspicious conditions there that can
hardly fail to become great and lucrative to
to their owners and inestimably profitably to
the South.
A Qv . Ekit ALTERATioN.—A story has bee n
told of a graeless scamp who gained access to
tie Clarendon printing oillce, in Oxford, when
the forms ofa new edition of the Episcopal
Prayer Book' had just been made up and were
ready for the pres:: . .. In that part of the
"form" containing the marriage service he
substituted the letter k for the letter v in the
word live ; and thus the vow "to love, honor,
comfort, Ac., so long as ye both shall live,"
was !wide to read "so long as ye both shall
tit ."' The change was not discovered until
the hole of the edition was printed off. If
the sheets thus rendered useless in England
be still pet served, it would be a good specu
lation to have them neatly bound and forwar
ded to Indiana and Connecticut.
THE "CENSUS MAN." —ln those portions
of the ells, ar
, particully where the lower classes
duel' the u hole year round, the advent of the
"census man" provides food for a wealth of re
tleetiuu after he has departed, and many amusing
eiremnstanees for his sense of the ludicrous to re
volve and think over. The whole household gen
erally meets him at the door, and hall the an
nouncement of his vented whir the sante eloquent
demonstrations that so delight the circus manager
on his entree to a country village. It Is useless
for him to commenee even the commencement of
his catechism, or to undertake to write a word;
he must first explain the nature of his business to
the fullest extent, and then submit to be "Inter
% iewnr by the whole congregation, carefully
guardian his Inkstand and schedules In the mean
time, lest eMne urchin become the victim of the
ha rimving memory Of having immortalized him

In other quarters, the refinement of whose in

call, upon them, he is treated to a watchful air,
and not 'infrequently has an inhospitable door
slammed in hi- countenance, while the housemaid,
whose art lqie chignon has awakened in his breast
the liveliest feelings of admiration and gratifica
tion, fades from his "eyes like a beautiful dream"
to !atal the necessary inquiries of " Ntlssus."
A mon g the Teutonic element his lines are indeed

he propounds the questions, that, though neces

TA SAi qc.t AND FOLIELSVILLE ItAIL
IIOAD AND IT, MANAGER:I.—One of the most com
mon errors that wen commit, Is thnt of over'-estl
mating the value and the beauty of that which
lir, US, mud of
on( which may be found around 0111.
Bollletiiilll4 of 11115 is due to the conthlroce wide!'
is placed In the exsueratcd statements of ima
gination travelers and som'erhing to that principle
in lIIIIIIaII nature which Is expresSed in the maxim
'• Familiarity breeds contempt." But whatever
be the eau-6 the fact ho uudmiWble Hurt most or
;11 . 0 prone to wander away from home in search
of that which, if we but knew it, Is everywhere
n round IN.
We have all heard ,of the Catasauttua and
Fegeleville Railroad ; anti the
,common thought
seems to lie that It is a rudely constructed sort of
tramway, leading from the Iron Works, as the
road to tile iron Wales in the wends, over which
duty trains of arc and coal and limestone are
slowly dragged along, through a country that Is
fiat ;mil- barren, yielding only that which is
“iletiory toot slate" if not " volprojltalde."
Now never was a greater mistake I A recent
ride over it, from one end to the other, has satis
fied the writer of this, as it did all who were with
hits, that there is no route of equal length in
Peatiqlvania tact of Altoona, and onlyione beyond
it, ulna deeerves to be coropared with It. Leaving
the troll Work, on the Lehigh, this road t•mven
for several miles to the South, crossing the famous
iron bridge, WhiCh has no equal in till this land,
and !titmice through a country that is Ila rich in
all the evidences of agricultural wealth as any
portion of our Commonwealth. Such farms, such
barn, and such homes, are rarely met with any
where. Fields and groves and limpid streams
are in eight all the way, while ever and anon a
switch, a curse and a siding track leading to
right or left in the direction of route well worked
ore bed, show Why the road was built and how
out of such scenes of beauty the enterprise nod
perseverance of its owners can draw such hordes
of wealth.
At Alburtis station, on the East Penn Railroad,
the road commences to ascend the South Moun
tain in the direction of Rittenhouse Gap, and here,
for live miles, there Is a succession of beautiful
sights which culminate at the summit. Front
that point the view Is perfectly amid. Over the
top, of the surrounding bills, northward, the Blue
Mountains, with Its gaps Dom the Schuylkill to
De:aware can be seen, as also all the cultivated
land which livs between these ranges of mountains.
Close around this summit, and stretching down
to the base of the mountain, are numerous ghict
nooks, in which are cultivated farms and pleasant
homes, through which the mountain rivulets glide
and meander until they reach the valleys on either
wide, some to swell the twitters of the Lehigh, and
some to glide to the ocean through the Schuylkill,
parting thus on the hills of the Lehigh to meet
again ne !nighty rivers In the Hay of the Delaware.
A better built road than this to Ito last foot is not
to he found, and as the cars return to Alburtis by
gravity, 11110 feels ILS they tly along that much of
the pleasure of this delightful ride is owing to
belief . to the fact that the road MIS 1111111 C 111111 is
unpaged by men who are "safe" in every sense
of the word.
The writer of this has been over the Switchback
again and again, and is free to say that there is
nothing In it that can compare with
,the route to
and from Rittenhoune Gap. The return by gravity
Is larger at Manch Chunk than here, but It hicks
the beauty which meets the traveler's eye on every
side ou lick read. There everything Is rough and
not as nature made it, and art has done nothing
bat heap up unsightly mounds of coal duet and
env-red the hillside with miner's shanties. On
this route there are no such drawbacks. Nature
and art lucre eimildned to make every prospect a
pleanatit one, and no sad thoughts of poverty and
111-pod labor mingle with or mar the Ititrmouy of
the ' , Tette.
To the 'Mensrs. Thomas and Mickley (whose
names are identllled with these improvements and
le thus homicide :Heist Immortal) the writer
and those who were with hint owe the happiest
day that Other of them bad passed fur years.
Th sir hospitality and attention, and the kindness
and lady-like nociabillty of their better halves left
nothing to be wished for except It may be a re
newal of that pleasant trip, or an carly'opportu
idly of reciprocating It.

CoLLEGE HuitlxsquEs.—We were glad to
see In the columns of our morning contemporary
a communication deprecating the scandalous
character Of the College burlesques.
We would like to remind the young gentlemen
who display their smartness In getting these
things up, that Indecency. profanity, or false ac
cusation will so effectually cover up and nullify the
wit with which It may be accompanied as to ren
der it Indistinguishable. Take away the wit from
these burlesques and they become so frivolous as
to excite contempt, or'so vicious as to fill the mind
of the reader with loathing and disgust. For
the sake of that manly purity from intellectual
filth which Is of more account than Acadeinical
Honors—reform this thing altogether In Mullion
berg College.
IN MEMORIAM..—Mr. Edward C. Acker
man died at his residence on First street last night,
at half-past ten o'clock. The pn rticulap of the
accidentwhlelt resulted In his death arc as follows :
Mr. Ackerman was in charge of a corps of construc
tion on the Morris & Essex Divison, when at noon
yesterday he, with one or two others, jumped on an
engine to go to Hackettstown for dinner. A short

PENNSYLVANIA FEMALE Cot.tucs. 7 —The
eighteenth annual commencement of this in
stitution took place on the 23rd Inst., in the
Trinity Christian Church, Freeland, near the
College. .It was largely attended by the pa
rents and friends of the pupils from various
parts of the State and by a large number of
persons, interested in the cause of education,
from the immediate vicinity.
The College is.situated on an elevation in
the beautiful village of Collegeville, formerly
known as Perkimnen Bridge, near College•
ville station, on the Perkiomen Railroad.—
It Is one of the finest sites for a college in this
State, the location being pleamit, healthy,
and convenient of access. The country
around is beautifully diversified with hill and
dale, Wood and field, rock and river, and the
College Is one of the most delightful abiding
places that can be imagined, being fairly em-
Lowered in trees, flowers and shrubbery.
Collegeville is a small but pretty village,
containing a number of houses which the ex
perienced eye of the tourist at once recognii-.
es as the abodes of people of taste and refine
ment.
The College is tinder the charge of Prof. J.
P. Sherman, A. M., an able and experienced
instructor, Professor of Greek, and of Moral,
Mental and Physical Sciences ; and his ac
coliplished and • popular lady, Mrs. M. S.
Shernian, teacher of Botany, Drawing and
Painting ; assisted by Miss S. Emma Pace,
A. M., teacher of English branches and Lat
in.; Miss Ella C. Tolan, A. 8., teacher of
Mathematics ; Miss M. S. Stockman, teacher
of Music ; and Miss Addle F. Sherman, As
sistant in Common Branches.
Among the pupils who attended the Col
lege during the year ending June 230, 1870,
were the following young ladies from Lehigh
county : Miss Annie Line, Miss Mary Mosser,
Miss Lenora Sell, of Allentown ; Miss Lizzie
Redler and Miss . Mary Yeager. of Macungie.
The Salutatory was remarkably well deliv
ered by Miss 'Fannie Trench, of Hallowell.
Maine. Essays and addresses followed, die•
playing careful thought and study on the part
of the following named young ladies who de
livered them :
Pleasures of Science. Miss N. M. Marsh,
Deleware Co.
Strive, Wait and Pray. Miss M. Heilman,
Eagleville, Pa.
Time and its Footprints.
Miss Ella T. Wollaston, Haddonfield, N. J-
Woman's Sphere. Miss Ella V.• Gilmore,
Baltimore, Md.
Self Culture. Miss Fannie V. Trench,
Hallowell, Maine.
Professor Sherman then conferred the De
gree of A. 13. upon all of these young ladies
and also upon Miss Jenny Mcealmont, of
Trenton, N. J., whii 'delivered the'Valedieto
ry address.. The Degree of A. M. was then
conferred upon ten graduates, and after the
benediction the audience dispersed, a number
of invited guests proceeding to the residence
of prof. Sherman, where a collation was
served. •
The brilliant success of this commencement
Is due to the assiduous attention and conscien
tious care of Prof. and Mrs. Sherman and
their efficient corps of teachers, and was in
itself a recommendation for this well known
and excellent institution that spoke volumes
Indeed.
There are two skies to every question. There

MUHLENBERG COLLEGE.
The Third kneel Commencement.
DAVID PAUL BROWN'S LECTURE
The Class Day exercises of last Wednesday
afternoon Inaugurated the programme of the clos
ing ' exercises of Muhlcnberg College. A
heavy shower, accompanied by a perfect
tornado, which distinguished the occasion, pre
vented the fun taking place out of doors ; but
by the time It was In order to " plant the Class
tree" the Bun shone out again and deigned to
smile on the Interesting ceremony. The boys bad
their fun and the audience laughed at some of the
hits that were made, and winced 'a little at the
others. By the way, the Rev. Dr. Muhlenberg
has take❑ a decided stand In disapproving of the
coarseness and vulgarity of the College "bur
lesques." Those distributed fast year were bru
tally coarse and the Doctor enters his:"solemn pro
test" against anything of the kind In future. He
was too late for tills year, for the burlesque was al
ready out ; but every possible means will be taken
to prevent the printing and distributing of this
scandalous literature in the years that .retnnin of
the reign of the present rulers.
The grant occasion of the day was the address
of David Paul Brown, Esq., of Philadelphia, be
fore the Euterpean and SophronlaW Literary So
cieties. According to arrangement, a procession
was formed in the College Campus, and the
Faculty, the members of both Societies, students,
City authorities, &c., headed by the Allentown
Cornet Band, marched to the Court house, which
was in a few moments completely filled by an au
dience whose air of refinement and Intelligence
was a compliment to the speaker and a credit to
our city.
After music by the band and prayer by the Rev.
'O. F. Schaeffer, D. D., of Philadelphia, the Rev.
Dr. Muldenberg Introduced the speaker. The
musical voice of David Paul Brown has grown so
weak that it was difficult to catch the words of
his address, and after a time the patience of the
audience got worn out, and those farthest from
the speaker gave up all hope of hearing him, and
indulged In conversation. It was, however„ to
the members of the two Societies that his address
was particularly directed, and, as they sat inside
the bar and close to the Judge's bench, from
whence he spoke, the greater part of it was dis
tinctly audible to them, and was listened to
with profound attention. After alluding to the
solemnity ai:d importance of the occasion, and
his earnest desire to succeed hi shedding "a single
raypf light" on the path before them, he sought
to press upon those assembled the conviction that
this was no pageant, no mere show, the idle sport
of an idle hour. Indeed, the speaker seemed to
be impressed with the conviction that the moments
were so fleeting and so filled with weighty respon
sibilities, that to hint who stood on the verge of
life, and whose feet were near the "valley of the
shadow," Oils occasion was even more solemn
titan to those he addressed. "You cannot, young
gentlemen," said he, " leave this banes you came
in. You mist leave it better or worse. Nothing
lu this world stands still. In this moral and in
tellectual world you must either go Onward and
Upward, or Downward arid Backward. This law
of motion is immutable, graven by the hand of
the Almighty ou the mind of man." In eloquent
and forcible language he closed his introductory
remarks by is protest against idleness, and de
clared that to do nothing was to do mischief;
that the Almighty Ruler, bountiful Mall else, was
sparing in regard to Time, and that at their time
of life, with the world, its duties and temptations
opening before them, It was most precious.
The venerable speaker then launched out into
his subject, "'Force of Character and the value
of Time."
We 611;111 not attempt to give more than an Idea
of the substance of his remarks On these subjects.
They were worthy of the speaker and worthy. of
the occasion. Full of the most tender and solemn
thoughts About the opportunities and weaknesses
of man, and of the perfect love and tender com
passion of God—they were calculated at once to
excite'an adequate conception of the duties and
responsibilities of life and a trust is the Great tie
ing wlm " doeth all things well."
Some of the most beautiful sentences were
nearly inaudible and !oust have been entirely so to
those who had the misfortune to have a back seat,
and consequently they fell Rat.
Illustrating Force of Character, he paid glow
ing tributes to the memories of lulapoleou and
Washington, and related an Incident In the life of
Gen. Muhlenberg, an ancestor of the president of
the College. It will be remembered that General
Muldenberg, in the year 1777, was a distinguished
Minister of the Gospel, and appeared in the pulpit
to preach his last sermon al rayed In regimentals,
which were covered by his preacher's gown. At
the conclusion of his sermon, he declared there
was a " time for war and a time for peace, a time
to light and a time to pray," and that the time
for peace and prayer having ended, the time for
war had come—and, " throwing of his gown, he
appeared in his uniform before them. Ile led his
soldiers to the battle and became one of the Most,
distinguished Revolutionary Generals." there
was amnia ',vim had due regard for time, and who
had that pourer of concentrating his talentslvhich
makes Force of Character.
" Time Is the soil of existence. We may eniti
vate, beautify and adorn, or we can blast and
desolate Oda soll."
The peroration, which was almost entirely lost
to the greater part of the audience, was•moat im
pressive. lie entreated his hearers to receive what
he said as the last words of a faithful, affection
ate, dying friend. "In the uncertainties of the
future before you," he asked, "what shall lead
you u ighti Ar you walk amid the darkness and
the dangers, keep before you the steady light of
the Star of Bethlehem." •
He declared that without this safeguard they
might reach some pinnacle of worldly glory, hut
only to be dashed over a precipice. In the midst
of their Joy and pleasure, time worldly will see
written before them on the wall, "Mem, Mcrae,
Trice!, Upliarmin."
"Time only certainty of Life is Death; the only
hope of Death Is the Cross." To that Cross be
entreated his young friends to cling, that they
might he found around the Throne of God. It
was the warning voice of declining age felling the
lessons learned In a pilgrimage of many years, and
pointing the path of safety and the way to God,
and on all, those who heard It, this address of
David Paul Drown Into 'mule a deep impression.
At the close of the address, and after music by
the band, thehenedletion was pronounced by Dr.
Seiss, of Philadelphia, and the audience dispersed.
COMMENCEMENT DAY
I=
formed at the College Campus, at half-past eight
o'clock, Thursday morning, under the direction of
Mayor Good.
The loveliness of the morning and the promise
of continued tine weather In the clearness of the
sky, caused the processlod to be a large one, and
the increasing Interest shown by the, citizens, was
evinced In the numbers who crowded the Court
House before the arrival of the procession.
MEET=
were out In full force, and the numbers of bouquets
that greeted our eyes, on we entered the Court
House were fitting accompaniments to the parterre
of beauty they prc'sented, ns one viewed the tald
dle block of seats lu the Court House. The bon
quets,however,promiscd more than thls,they prom
ised to be substantial emblems of the approbation
beauty pays to talent. The ladles with bouquets
had pretty generally taken the precaution to get
well In front, so nc to have a chance of taking
good ulm at the favored ones who were to receive
the floral offerings.
MEE=
of the Allentown Cornet Band, which enlivened
the proceedings,. wee all that could be desired and
a marked Improvement on .that of last year.
This band, Indeed, Is one of the instittnlons of
which Allentown every day has more reason to be
proud, and under the skittlel leadership and In
struction of its leader, promises at no distant day
to compete favorably with the most celebrated
bands of the country. As It (Hsi:mused Its sweet
strains lu the Court House title morning, the
music was felt to he mt..riddltional attraction to
the exercises of Commencement. Alter music by
the Band,
I=l
were preceeded by prayer In German by the Bev.
.Bpaed, of Philadelphia, and then the work of the
students was led off by I. N.B. Erb, of Boyertown,
who delivered the
LATIN EULLITATORT,
which attracted vcry little attention, except from
the scholars present, and the majority of the au-,
(Renee seemed to be glad when It was over and'
the young gentleman bad received the reward of
merit In the shape of several beautiful bouquets,
and the first of
TILE JUNIOR PRIZE ORATIONS
was begun by J. H. Neiman, of Limerick, Pu.
His subject was "Greatness In Littleness," and in
eloquent and earnest words he demonstrated the
fact that magnitude is not always greatness, and
that the little things of this world are often of
more Importance and have a wider Influence and
a greater weight than the superlicial observer may
Imagine. ;The young gentleman spoke clearly
and distinctly, and with a force which Impressed
the hearer with the conviction that ,lie felt and
believed In what he was saying. In composition'
he showed aclearness of conception and vigor, of
expression as noticenblii as the freedom "and ease
of his delivery. He was followed by J. Frank Old,
of Cherryville, Pa., who had taken for his subject
the " Worship of Genius." This was a well con
ceived and as well delivered attack on the argu
ments and doctrines of those Rationalists who
would make the Everlasting Ituddemer only a man
of the highest genius, and woulil substitute for
the comforts. nod consolations of Gospel truth the
incentives of intellectual worth. Eloquently be pro
claimed the littleness of the best of earthly things
when compared with the things of Heaven.
0. P. Smith, New Tripoli, Pa., followed with
an oration on "Self Importance." In the course
of his remarks, he pointed out the right all men
have to feel proud of their place in the creation
and rebuked those of his fellow students who bad
no more ambition than to be the writers of burles
ques.
This was well deserved and we like to see the
best men in the college combine together to put
down this pernicious thing. This year it Is char
acterized by a malicions, spiteful spirit. To stab
in the dark, to fling literary 111th anonymously, is
unworthy of anyone claiming the name of man
and ought to be met with the contempt and scorn
of every worthy student.
The oration of 11. 11. Strohdach, of Reading,
was entitled " Protestantism not a Failure," and
was a very tine arrangement and recitation of the
usual proofs advanced to sustain this assertion.
Mr. Strolulach was well prepared, was at his
ease, fluent and confident—and getting warmed
up in his subject, achieved a success. In this per
oration, admirably written and capitally delivered,
he spoke with enthusiasm of the time "when the
earth shall be tilled with the knowledge of the
Lord," and the wilderness bins,om like the rose
and Protestantism prove itself no failure.
A. J. Long, of Lehigh Valley, in an oration ou
"Our Country:" which concluded the Junior
Prize Orations, spoke of the War of Independence,
the late War and those bright particular deeds of
her sons which have ennobled her and placed lice
high among the Nations. Ile touched on the
question of Woman's Eights, and made it under
stood that he at all events was no advocate of the
XVlth amendment.
Mr. Long's address was followed by music by
the Band, and then followed the Sophomore Prize
Orations, by Messrs. G. T. Weibel, of Shrews
bury, and J. G. Sehadt, of Cumberland. As these
were both In German, we had to take
their ability, &e.; for granted, but,from the atten
tion paid by the German speaking portion of the
audience, we have no doubt they were eloquent
and Interesting. One thing we can say for the
German speakers—they did not overtask the pa
tience of the audience, and lengthen out the ses
sion by extending the time alloted to them. The
Faculty should rigidly enforce the Rule of Time,
as It would be advnntageotts to the audience nod
speakers. The first of
E=l
was delivered by J. J.. Kuntz. It was entitled
"Luck and Pluck." The orator seemed to have
a great appreciation of Flock, and gave a long
list of situations In which pluck may be shown.—
from the Influent deadly breach of the battle !geld
to the fearful I, Ituation of the bashful student be
fore such beauty and talent as crowded the Court
House to-clay. lie declared the great want of the
age to be noble . Christian Manhood am l Pluck.
Pluck crossed the trackless ocean In 1492.
The Declaration of Independence was 'an In
stance of pine' . Louis Phillipe lost his
crown for want of Ono:. Sheridan's pluck saved
the army. (We scarcely Agree with the orator
that the horse knew the importance of the occasion)
Allusions to the Stars and Stripes and the "rebel
rag," caused frequent applause and•he concluded
by declaring the men of luck to be men of pluck.
" Counterfeits" was the subject of the oration
by S. A. Ziezenfuss, of Quakertown: Ile com
menced by describing some of the earliest "coun
terfeits" which imposed on the world, Instancing
the ancient belief in the Oat shape of t h e earth,
and the ridicule with width the self-deluded met
the announcement of truth. He spate of the
emotional counterfeits of the heart which deceive
the utterer himself. Of the counterfeit fright of
our female fellow-citizens at the sight of a spider.
Counterfeit benevolence, counterfeit modesty,
counterfeit aristoet acy, counterfeits of fashion, all
were the subject of rebuke and scorn.
He said Woman's Rights was the newest coun
terfeit. Eve was not made n female Adam.
Woman In her sphere was admirable, but out of
it, seeking the sphere of man, she was a flagrant
counterfeit. The word of God Is the test by which
to detect the Devil's counterfeits of God's truth.
Prove all things, hold fast to that which is good—
brand the counterfeit—fight it,' reject it, give it no
quarter.
The frequent applause which greeted this
speaker, was well deserved mid marked the recog
nition of the genuineness of the speaker's convic
tions on the subject et : Counterfeits.
The much discussed subject of " The B ible and
tie School," Was the subject of the next oration,
by F. W. Butler, of Reading, Pa. lie pointed out
that knowledge without wisdom Is useless, and
that the " Fear of the Lord is the beginning of
wisdom." The Almighty once in the history of
our race Mid demanded of his creatures religious
education. There are those Who would divide
education into secular and religious education, In
stead of uniting them. Secular education leads
the mind of mall to Rationalism. 114 related how
the soldiers of Montezuma forced the image of the
Virgin to be placed In the Atzec houses of worship
,'and how they could not compel them to how tiONVII
before it In preference to their own Gods. To give
the children of our schools six days secular edu
cation, and one day in seven lead their minds to
God, Is to make the seventh days service a sham.
It Is argued that the freedom of our Government
is incompatible with the use of the Bible . in our
Public Schools. This argument is generally used
by the foreigner, who, If he liked not the ways of
our Government, might have stayed at home ,
The Jew or the Catholic cannot justly find fault
with the simple reading of the word of God, with
out note or comment. r
Let us save ourselves from the power of Rome,
which is fighting against the Bible. The king
doms of the past warn us, by their desolation, to
bocareful bow we forget there is one who controls
the destinies of men and of nations.
'We are either rushing on to prosperity or to
ruin. Much depends upon the religious element
of this country. Shall we then give up the Bible?
If the day comes that we shall do this, we
shall sink us other nations have sunk before.
Thin address was admirable and it was evident
that Mr. Butler had given a large amount of
thought to hie subject and felt all Its importance.
It was listened to with attention from beginning
to end, and was creditable alike. to the orator and
the College to which he belongs.
W. 11. Kuntz gave s description of the hies of
Society hi which lie described the actions of the
• Jenkin's of the Press ; who Invade the privacy of
families and drag their private utterances before
the public. Re instanced the Byron scandal and
then described the "Pharisees" whom he certainly
warbled in a manner that made .the reporter's
dose a comparitively light one. "Hot blooded and
cold blooded foes of society must be watched mid
brought over to the right side, then will be
brought about the era oh peace.
The supply of bonnets this young gentleman
received at the 'close of his address was evidence
that he at least was not regarded as one of the
foes foes society.
The last but by no means the least of the "Se
nior Orations" was that of J. W. Ritmple of Con
cord N. C., on ' , Christian art." In a well delivered
address be showed how Religion had lifted art
higher and higher until Christian art towered high
• above all the rest. Every structure from the
1 highest to the lowest In the land proclaims the
power of Christian art. • The spires of the numer
ous sacred edifices , pointing heavenward us no
ninny uplifted hands to God are triumphs of
christlau art. Christian art dispels the mists of
',guanine° and vice and.will continue to do noun
. tit time shall be no more and tho hearts and minds
of men are led to a more perfect devotion to God
14n its perfection.
The orations being concluded.
I=l
should have been delivered by the President.—
The extreme heat and the lateness of the limit'
were two causes that ()prated to make Dr. Malt
lenherg very wisely decide to put It off until next
yea:. We would have been glad to have heard
the Dbctor's Speech, especially as he had IW:till
ed to base his remarks on such a weighty and in
teresting assertion as that of "No Cross no
Crown." The reputation of Dr. Muhlenberg Is
so well established as an Interesting speaker that
he conld afford to dispense with the address.
Numbers of men speak well but few have the wis
dom to know when to hold their tongues. The
next ceremony was the

After music by the Band the President an

The Closing Exercises of the Alley
town Female College.
The day which Inaugurated the month of July in
the morning promised to be one of unusual warmth,
and until noon kept up appearance with unabated
vigor. Towards evening, howeveropilte
took place and without becoming absolutely cold
it was sufficiently cool to make It possible .to at
tend an evening entertainment without danger of
suffocation. Accordingly the citizens of Allen
town began to move toward the Court House In
great force at an early hour, and by 8 o'clock they
had filled every available Inch of space In that
Commit Room.
Where are ell the people going? said the strang
ers In town. Why our young ladies at the Feina Ic
College have their closing exercises of the term, In
the Court house to-night.
It Is certain that no one could have been In Al
lentown and Hen the crowd and known the occa
sion without being convinced that our people are
proud of the young ladles of the Female College
anti are anxious to see theta do their best. They
were not disappointed.
The exercise.; commenced, anti the young ladies,
dressed for the most part In white, having been
seated In the places reserved for theta inside the
bar,completed the anitnattnl picture which the au
dience presented. On the bunch were seated the
Mayor and many of our prinelptl citizens, with a
number of the clergymen of the city, not only en
joying the occasion themselves, but doing a good
thing in encouraging by their presence the elibrts
of the pupils of the College.
In this all seemed to combine, anti the fact was
potent that every one in the room was in sym
pathy with the occasion and evidently desired site-
Cent to the young ladles.
" The Prake of God" :LII Allthelll Sulu; by the
whole School most appropriately,had been chosen
usthe'opening plece,planoacconipaulment by Prof.
Hoffman. This haring been satisfactorily rendered
the Apostles' Creed was recited by the School in
unison, and then on appropriate prayer was offer
ed by the Rev. J. W. Wood.
Then mune it Solo and Chorus by Miss
and the School.
'Fhb= was well rendered by the Soloist and the
Chorus, the accompaniment being played by Prof.
Herrman.
Misses Hoffman and Laub:tell then played a
very lively Golop by Sponholtz,whieh started smile
young feet to keeping time, and gained the well
deserved applause of the audience for the manner
of its execution.
An Essay followed entitled "Little thingsi i
This was Well written and very well
read by Miss Mary C. Weiser, who evidently
had a very correct appreciation of the "little
things" of life which arc no mighty tot:ring:thou
great effects.
Sydney Smith's "La Dame Blanche," a very
beautiful piece of mush., was done full justice to
by Miss M. Alke Loath, and then Prof.
again took his seat at the Idaildas.accompaultneut .
to the school, who sang it chorus entitled " Oh !
How rich Is sweet perfume." This chorus had
but one fault and that was that there was not
enough of It.
Miss Ella J. Lichtenwalner, who kept up the
reputation for the clearness of her utterances
and self-possession, now read an essay entitled
"Fashionable Follies," hi which Wale dreadful
severe things wore sold about the way folks talk,
&c. The young lady seemed rather to take the
ground that the gentlemen were as had as the
ladles, anyhow. We are rather disposed to think
she Is about right and that In this age of Woman's
Rights there is shown a desire to give to the ladies
a monopoly bf fashionable folly that Is unjust.
However that may lw, Miss LieldellWallier ex
pressed a contempt for the follies of fashion and
wore a fashionable dress with a composure
and resignation that stamps her us a martyr.
The Misses Bush played a set of waltzes by
Chas. D. Albert, in a very acceptable inanner,and
were folloWed by Miss Louise E. Shinier who, sc.
6,1,11)1110M by Prof. (101'0rd, very sweetly sang
a most beautiful snug entitled "The Night is
calm and cloudiest." Miss Shinier is the possessor
of n very sweet voice and sings with feeling and
ex pression.
A solo and chorus entitled ' 6 Fatherland" .Was
TICNt. glues nud then Miss M. Alice insult read an
essay untltied,"Sliver Linings." This was quite a
poetical effusion and us such required considerable
knowledge of the art of elocution. to render It ac
ceptably. Mita Locah accomplished a. difficult
task with credit to herself and Fati,fatetion to her
audience. •
C. T. Brannei's Rondo delmerezia Ilorcbi • was
rendered by Ml.Lanbach and I.lclitenwal
ner In a manner that showed 'their diligence In
their musical studies and Was very creditable to
their instructor.
The Rev. W. Holbud, then zumouneed that n
Departure would be made from the order of ,exer
ekes os set down In the Programme; and that the
Rev. C. Z. Weiser, A. M., would dollver an address
on the •

Of this address, as something distinct and apart
from the exercises proper, we have spoken In an-
Other place. Wo will only say of It here that there
was nothing lu the worn out topic or the thread
bare arguments, used by the speaker to prove the
degraded condition of the sex,to,lustify Its extreme
length.
After the singing of a Chorus entitled the " Al
pine Shepherd," Miss Sallie C. Massey read a re
markably well written Essay entitled "Morning,
Noon and Evening," which elicited the admira
tion of the andiencemotwithstanding the fact that
Mr: Weiser had nearly tired them out. The com
parison of the day with the' different periods of
man's life—its Morning, Noon and Night—
was a very skillful onc,aud this production of Miss .
Massey's undoubtedly merited all the praise It
elicited. A quotation from Longfellow closed the
Essay nnd, when the applause had subsided ,Miss •
Troxehl and Miss Rimer, accompanied by Prof.
Herrman; sang a duet entitled "Oh haste crimson
morning". This was the vocal gem of the evening.
The ess voices of the young ladles blending bar- .
moniously In the strains of this beautiful duct very
pleasingly illustrated the power of music by secur
ing that stillness In the audience during its ren
dition which Is aiway more complimentary than
i
the loudest applause/at the close.
The Misses Laub, ch, by their brilliant execu
tion of an InspfiliTUg duct, contributed their full
share towards the success of the evening, and
alter a " Summer Song," by the yoUng ladles and
a solo for the piano by Miss Sallie Massey, both
of which were finely rendered, the final solo and
chorus " Home of my Heart," was given and the
benediction pronounced by the Rev. Dr. Malden
berg.
The exercises, so far as the young ladles wero
concerned, was a success in every particular, and
the audience were remarkably quiet and attentive.
Though the room was literally jammed, there was
none of the objectionable whispering and shuffling
which we had occasion to notice on the previous
evening.
We congratulate the young ladles and their in
structors, as well as the parents and the friends of
this Institution, on the success of these closing ex
ercises, and trust that the Allentown Veinal° Col
lege may grow from year to year ita prosperity
and annually delight our citizens with such enter
tainments as the one we had the pleasure of at
tending last night.
