Now that our commencements aro over it would be profitable to hunt out the defects in our educational system which we have in our power to remedy. If the Controllers, Direc tors and teachers of our public schools, and Trusteesiand Faculty of our colleges, take.ad vantage of the light let in upon the systems which have governed their respective institu tions, commencements will prove a far more Important object than a mere occasion for the diplay of individual excellence in education. There was ono defectnpparent in the High School commencement which should attract the attention of the Controllers. We refer to the vocal music. If this was thrown in mere ly to free the exercises from monotony, then we say by all means employ outside talent, even if it is obtained at some outlay. But if it was given as a specimen of the culture of the young ladies in the divine art, the result of instruction received in the High School, s we cannot shut our ears to the fact that the High School defi cient in this branch of education. Our suggestion to the controllers is, either do away with the the teaching of vocal musical alto gether, or employ a competent instructor whose business it shall be to give lessons in vocal music. Let it be a motto of the Allen town High School that whatever is taught there at all shall ho well taught. In no other branch is false teaching more injurious than in music, and as the taxpayers expect to have their children thoroughly educated in the pub. lie schools, the higher the standard is raised the better the parents will be pleased with the school, and the more willing will they ho to pay their share of the cost. We speak of the High School first because, as the majority of our children receive the finishing touches, there, it Is of more importance to us than both of the colleges. No one can say that the in struction in the other branches is not thorough. Our experience in this matter has been a most pleasing one and we believe that graduates from the High School of Allentown today occupy a proud position among the graduates from the different institutions of learning throughout the State. But there is without doubt room for improvement in all of them, and as we are now able to point to our mag nificent school buildings as lasting testimoni als to the interest maintained by our citizens in the cause of the common school system, we wish to point with pride to the graduates as examples of the excelling thoroughness in every branch that is taught• within. The subject of elocution should receive more attention in all our higher institutions. It is an important branch not only to those who in tend to enter the professions, but to those who will.m the future enliven the family with fire- side readings. Our commencements have shown that our graduates have the natural tal ent requisite to make good readers. 'Why let the opportnnity to give them the advantages of a correct and thorough instruction in the art pass away Y The accomplishment Is a bless ing to anyone who possesses it and those who assist the scholars in attaining a degree of perfection in it will be doing a service to them which will redound to their credit in years to come. There is an economical way to accomp• Bah the object. Say'a month before the close of the next school term employ thoeorvleoa or a mat-class teacher of elocution and we are confident the result will be so apparent and so gratifying that the custom will be kept up in future terms. While the instructor is here he will have spare time, which he can employ in giving instruction to our teachers, who could form classes and receive instruction at a trifling outlay. Then our teachers would have the ability to rear the yonth in correct reading and good elocutionists would be as plentiful as corn potent mathematicians or accomplished es sayists. We make these observations without a intention of casting any reflections upon any one. They have been made manifest to us and we should feel that we were not doing our duty if we did not throw out the suggestions we have made. We hope the proper persons will receive them in the same spirit in which they are given and, If they are worthy of their consideration, that they may deVise some Means to further increase the efficiency of our educational institutions in the branches above referred to. • MAYOR HALL of New York has written a letter to President Grant, suggesting to him, that if he proposes to pardon the bigamous Congressman Bowen, he shall do it only on the condition that Bowen disclose the means by which he procured a false and fraudulent decree of divorce through a deputy clerk, from the office of the county clerk in New York, without the consent of the latter,, In order that the fraud may be exposed and punished. There is something really quite touching in this solicitude of the Mayor for the purity of the subordinate officials who fill the different departments at New York, and we trust the President will grant Mr. Hall's request, if he can consistently do so. But we cannot help thinking that, while the Mayor, If really on the scent of criminals, might very easily find so much more important crime nearer home, he sends out these little appear ances of intention to be a just Mayor to call public attention away from the duties he ne glects to perform and to impress them with the belief that he is really the guardian of the city's Interests. Tun Maine Republican State Convention met at Portland on Thursday and nominated the lion. Sidney Ptah= for Governor. The Convention was characterized by the utmost harmony and unanimously endorsed the poli cy of President Grant. One of the most grati fying results to us Pennsylvanians was the adoption of a protective resolution, which says: "That in the present emergencies of our country a tariff on imports is the readiest and least oppressive mode of raising a larger portion of the revenue needed for the support of the Federal Government, and that in as signing duties care should be taken to so ad just them as not to prejudice, but t 4 promote the interests of every section end branch of In dustry In the land, special pains being taken to foster In every practiceblo way the honor and Interests of the American laborer. ' CIIIEF JUSTICE CLIME, unfortunately for appearances, is unlucky enough to get sick when the business of the Supremo Court re quires his attention and the bulk of the busi ness is therefore put upon the shoulders of his associates. The inquiry might be raised, what is the use of a Chief Justice? It is a remark able fact in this connection that when the Now York Herald or somebody else whispers Presideni the effect Is magical and the Chief is hale and heartyoulllcienly to make one be lieve Le has still life enough left to perform the arduous duties of Chief Magistrate. Fon the first time in the history of its or ganization the President of the last session of the State'Senate had a private secretary 'at a Cost of $l2OO. Such _evidences of extrava gance are in direct contrast with the careful economy of the Federal Government. Allentown Female College The First Annual Commencement. A BRILLIANT OCCASION HISTORY fIF THE INSTITUTION. The growth and prosperity of Eastern Penn sylvania, and more especially the Lehigh Val ley, rich in mineral and fertile in agricultural resource, made manifest several felt.wants. Prominent among these were the educational ntercsts which had not heretofore received that attention which the wants of the people demanded. This was long agii felt by the Reformed Church, and to establish an institu tion whose aim and object should be to edu cate the daughters of the valley—an institu- Lion that should breathe a Christian and home like spirit, and bepervaded by that established fact, that living objective force, Christianity, was the most earnest prayer of thia branch of he Church The s time had come, it seemed, to make this contonplated institution an established fact and thus bring it into existence. Through the enterprising spirit of seine prominent and lib eral minded men in our midst, our city was selected as a suitable location. The school accordingly was temporarily established in the basement of the German Reformed Church in 1807, the pupils then numbering but eight, who formed the nucleus around, and from which, the Allentown Female College of to. day began Its growth and reached its present prosperity which makes it • self-supporting. The private residence of Robert E. Wright, Esq., with its park-like grounds, known as CLOVER NOOK, was secured and a building erected with ample accommodations for stu. dents from abroad. This is well ordered In all its apartments with well furnished rooms-- with all the modern Improvements, and In its general arrangement, having special reference to the health and comforts of Its Inmates. Its external appearance with its pleasure grounds is imposing, and like Its internal, seems to in vite and bid welcome the daughters of the land and have them drink In the sciences as grounded In Christianity. Such is Allentown Female College, non• an established fact, and one of the permanent in- stitutions of our city. Its present success is in a great measure due to the able and efll- cient President, Rev. W. R. Hofford (former ly principal of the old Allentown Seminary, since converted into Muhlenberg College,) who has labored most zealously with much self-sacrifice to promote the prosperity of this institution. Among the ninny warm friends of the school who have stood by the President and worked hard for this noble enterprise and thus furthered its interests, is Judge Laubach, of Bethlehem, who is in every way worthy of the position as President of Board of Trustees. =ED The First Commencement of this College was held Friday evening in the Court House, which was not only crowded, but literally jammed, the isles, door ways—in fact all the standing room in the house being occupied— by thu.intelligence, beauty, and refinement, comprising the elite of our tety, who want thither to bid a welcome to the young grade ates and to testify their appreciation of the noble efforts put forth by those young aspi rants, the first fruit of the Allentown Female College, and the first to receive the honors of the. initution. The exercises were opened with the singing. of the Gloria In Excelsis, in which the whole assembled multitude joined in with one voice. Prayer by the Rev. Grics, of this city.

' ADDRESS—SUBJECT, SELF-APPI.ICATION— BY T. B. JOHNSTON, P. U., LWIANON, PA. We live in spirit-stirring times. This may be styled emphatically the Age of Progress. Old fogyism with its obsolete ideas Is being scattered to the winds. The spirit of the an cient Athenians is surging upon the public mind, and the cry is everywhere for something new. The mandate, "Forward, march," has roused the dormant energies of our race, end with rapid strides we are hastening towards the goal. ° ldlers and laggards are repudiated, and reward end success are only for those who toil. Life Is a scene of earnest effort—no at tainments are passively secured. All who would excel must study and think. The mas ses arc rising in, the scale, and they who would tower like some lofty mountain over the plain, must possess solid and superior ac quirements. It is not enough that they have golden opportunities, or all the advantages which competent Instructors can supply—that they have all the books and appliances which modern times have so liberally furnished, but they must use them, arid thus malts them ef fectual in accomplishing .their design. The question is not, what opportunities you have had ? But, how have you improved them ? That opportunities for securing education have been greatly increased during the past few years, is evident to all. The different Chris tian denominations and also the public author ities of the land and private enterprise have organized and established schools of a high grade in every portion of our country. But what good is all this ? You may shut ,your eyes to the glorious light of heaven. You may stop your ears and become impervious to all the sweet sounds of melody. You may starve in the midst of plenty. So you may roam over the fields of science and yet gather none of the sweets which everywhere abound. It is possible for a young lady to go through the routine of an entire course of instructions; and still be an ignoramus. A travel er may pass through a region abound ing with scenes ofhistoric interest—he may traverse classic soil, lie may scale gigantic mountains, or roam over vast plains—he may sail upon the bosom of rivers, lakes and oceans, lie may sojourn in cities replete with beauty, and teaming with the triumphs of science and of art, and yet return the same unlearned, un cultivated boor, with no enlarged views of na ture or of man. If led to discourse at all upon the scenes among which he has mingled, lie may allude to the good or bad fare, the cost of the trip, or possibly may think the Andes are rather a large heap, or the glaciers arc a little slippery, or that there is a good deal of water in the sea, or that Vesuvius made some light, and that things in general are different from what they are at home, and on the whole it is rather a nice thing to travel. But as for any advantage it tins been to him Intellectual ly, it would require very strong perceptive powers to discover. And in these days of shoddy, when libraries are purchased by the square yard, and a book is judged by its bind ing, many such will go abroad, to acquire the reputation of having travelled. Shoddy they will start, shoddy they will travel, and shoddy they will return. How different it is with those who go abroad for the purpose of solid improvement—a laudable curiosity to see the world, and a still more laudable ambition to add to their store of knowledge. These will return richly laden, with more expansive views, and their memories stored with his dons fruits, upon which they may feed, when their sun is westerning, and from which they may drale to benefit the race. So It is in education—the education of the mind. In the attainment of a solid education there must be earnest cooperation on the part of the pupil. In ono sense we must be "self made. 'I do not mean by this the term roused In Ore popular sense, although 1 am far from underrating the position and claim that such may rightly and meritoriously assume. But by the term self-made means the sell applies tion which Is absolutely essential, and which no ono can dispense with and succeed. I, mean simply this, that we must have our own eyes and ears open, our own brains at work and whatsoever our hands find to• do—to do It with our might. In other words, it will avail you but little that you are pupils in this or any other College unless you work. Our object this evening will be to show you that THE LEHIGH REGISTER, ALLENTOWN, WEDNESDAY, JITYL many have succeeded In obtaining an educa tion with but slander opportunities, and then to impress upon you the fact that you, with such splendid advantages, ought also succeed. That if you fall it wiff be entirely from the want of self application. Possibly we might have Whiled away the hour with some other theme more brilliant, more poetic, more gor geous. We might have furnished you with a boiluct of richer, rarer tiOwers, or woven a garland of beauty, and thus have entranced your imagination, and increased the romance of the unreal, In which too many have their sphere. Wo have preferred to mingle the odors of the tubirose with that ofthe esculent, the edible, the ormamental with the useful, and think the baguet or the garland none the less handsome or attractive, if occasionally a cabbage, or n potato, or a beet, or a tomato, should peep out from beside the delicate tinted lilly, the modest violet, or the full blown rose. But before we enter upon the discussion let us endeavor to settle some preliminary ques tions of importance,what are we to understand by education and who may be denominated the educated. There is probably no word in our language so much abused, and so various ly applied, as the word education. The rustic countryman affirms that his son has a splen did education because he can read, write and cypher. The village mechanic tolls alone from morning to night to give his son a chance to finish his education, by which he means to go through the books used in ele mentary schools. The city merchant regards the education of his son as complete when he is prepared to take his place behind the coun ter, or In the counting house, when he can drive a good sale, understand the mysteries of exchanges, and become a bear or a bull in the stock market. Necodemus Bowlegs, Esqr., must be an educated man because he graduated at a College. Professors Humbug and Gammon must be profoundly educated because they chant In Latin. Young ladies are supposed to be highly accomplished and splendidly educated, if they can talk about the Stamens and Petals of (losers—garble French with tolerable volubility and frighten a piano into spasms. These errors and abuses, arise from Ignorance of the true mean ing of the word education making it descrip. tive of the extent and kind of one's acquire ments, rather than the degree of his intellec tual culture and mental development. By education, we are not to understand the mere acquisition of languages, or the simple lum bering of the memory with facts and princi ples, as parrots are trained to articulate son. tences in tolerable English, but by education we do understand that training (and develop. ing) of the moral and intellectual powers, which refines our tastes, enlarges our views, elevates our Ideas, and enables us to think consecutively, to reason coherently, judge correctly and act properly in nil the affairs of life. Education does not supply brains, it only develops them ; it does not bestow talents, It only improves them. It was a favorite figure of the old classic writers to compare an uned ucated person to the rough marble in the quarry. The educated one to that marble. chisled by the hands of a Phydeas into forms of beauty and pillars of strength, but the an alogy holds good only in a single point. As the chisel reveals the forms the marble may be made to assume, so education unfolds the innate capacity. In all things else how poor the comparison—how faint the analogy. Iu the one case you have nu aggregation of par ticles, crystid ized into shape, without organ ism, life or motion. In the other you have life, growth, expansion. In the first you have a mass of limestone incapable of any altera tlon within Itself. In the other you have a hying body, a mind, affections instinct with power, gifted with vitality. These constitute a life, which, by its inherent force, must grow and unfold itself by a law of its own, whether you educate it or not. Some developments it will make, some form it will assume, by its irrepressible and spontaneous action. The question then is—what shall that form be, shall it wear the visible robes of an immortal, with a countenance glowing with the Intelli gence and pure affection Cherib and Seraph or through the rays and sensual impress of an earthly—send forth only occasional gleams of its highest nature. The great work of educa tion is to stimulate and direct this native pow er of growth. Culture's hand Has scattered verdure o'er the land : And smiles and fragrance rule serene, When barren wild usurped the scene; And such is man—a soil which breeds Or sweetest flowers, or vilest weeds ; Flowers lovely as the morning light, Weeds deadly as an .aconite ; Just as his heart is trained to bear The poisonous weed, or•lloweret feir By self education we mean the education gained in the workshop,•or in the university, regardless of the untoward circumstances of = scroll of literary fame, were diamonds found in the mire, pearls brought up from obscurity, who, but for their own energy, would have been unknown to posterity. The examples, I am about to adduce, will show that there can be no difficulties in the way, even of an ordi nary capacity, but what have been; and may again be overcome. r Metristascio, a poor boy singing verses in the streets, became one of the greatest authors in Italian literature. Gif ford rose from the position of a cabinLboy to that of the most popular author of the age.— Epictilus, the moralist, was born a slave, but was distinguished as a Philosopher, and was intimate with the wisest of the Roman Empe rdrs. Ferguson, the first Astronomer of his age, at whose lectures royalty it-elf listened with admiration, was s poor shepherd boy.— Terrence, an • African slave, raised himself to such an elevation that Roman Consuls sought his society. Sir Humphrey Davy, the first Chemist of his time, was the apprentice or au Apothecary and the son of a mechanic. Her shel), was a self-educated man and commenced the study of Astronomy when e soldier in Nova Scotimand learned Latin and Greek while organist. Linnaeus, the founder of the science of Botany, was , once seated on the shoemaker's bench. Bloomfield, the Poet, composed the Farmer's Boy in a garret, amid the rapping of hammers. Drew, the celebra ted Metaphysician, was a poor boy and a jour neyman shoemaker. Sherman, the Statesman of the American Revolution, was also an hum ble working mechanic. Hunter ' the Anato mist, was an apprentice at cabinet making,nnd was 20 years old before he knew the alphabet, Johnson, the Dramatist, was a brick layer.— John Folz, the German Poet, was-a barber. Theden, the Chief Surgeon of the Prussian Army, was a tailor. John Doßond, the in ventor of the Achromatic Telescope, was a mechanic and spent Its early days at the loom. Lamb, the most accomplished of Belle Lettre scholars, and the sweetest of prose writers, was a common clerk.. Bowditch, flit miracle of self-education, pursued those studies which made him the translator of La Place, and the universal oracle of Navigation, on shipboard her a long period in a subordinate position.— Franklin, the wisest man of his age, became so amid the drudgery of types and proof sheets. Lee, a carpenter, became professor of Hebrew, in Cambridge University. The time would fail us to point you to Shaeffer; in the Univer sity of Hauls, living upon bread and water, to Heyne, Winckleman, Bullinger, Wolfgang, Muscnlus, and scores of others who supported themselves in Grammar Schools and Un iversitiesby singing ballads ,in the streets, wicking In the kitchen, and blacking the boots of their fellow students. Postellus found his way to Paris by occasionally stop ping to labor as a reaper, and thought himself highly favored when received as a domestic in the College of St. Barbe, and soon succeed ed in learning Latin and Greek in his spare moments, and became the most distinguished Orientalist of his age. Castello, the author of an elegant Laths version of the Scriptures, supported his family ns a common field laborer and carried home his fuel upon his back after the toils of the day end declared that literature was his chief consolation. A French Artist of distinction, when young, was so noxious to visit the eternal city, that he consented to set as the guide and leader of a blind beggar, and thus traveled on foot over 400 miles—the beg gar defraying all the expenses. We might en large this list to any desired extent, but will not exhaust your patience. We might cite numerous Instances from our own country, but we have purposely confined our selections to those countries and times most unfisvorable to self-education. Here, illustrations so abound that from the humblest. cot, to the Widte House itself, we might evoke a vast multitude, where acquirements reflect, lustre and glory upon our institmions and add to our national fame. Nor Is this wide field of distinction on ly accessible to the sterner sex. Thousands of females have shone in the firmament of science, poetry, and literature, who toiled at the needle or in the less congenial employment or the the tory, the store, or the kitchen, end have suc cessfully asserted their claim to talent, equally with the lords of Creation. Probably as a class woman Is more Intelligent than man, in a country favorable to the develop ment of her sex. I have no sympathy with any movement that would stamp Inferiority upon woman. She Is the equal of man, and entitled to the same advantages to develop her mental and moral nature. Parents are bound to bestow upon their daughters equal opportunities with their none.. Education will qualify them better for the sphere In which Providence designs them to move. They become better wives, mothers and members of society, and posterity will exhibit the advan tages of the highest female culture. tier capael, ty for education Is equal to that of him,' who mutely In reference to the temporary arrow,- ments of society has been constituted her lord. If you look up Into yonder Ornament with your naked eye, the astronomer will point you to a star which shines down upon you 1¢ single rays of pure lksild - ilght. But if you will ascend into the observatory and direct towards it that magnifi cent Instrument which modern science has brought to such perfection of power, the same star will suddenly resolve Itself into two beautiful lumi naries, equal in brilliancy—equal In all . stellar excellence, emitting rays of different and Intense ly vivid hues, yet so exactly correspondent to each other, and so mingling their various colors to pour upon the unaided vision the pure sparkling or a single orb. So It Is with man and woman created two-fold, equal In all human:attributes, excellence nod influence, diffeient but correspon dent, to hue eye of Jehovah the harmony of their union in life Is perfect, and as one complete being that life streams forth In rays of light and Influ ence upon society. But to return from this di gression. The point we consider Is established, that many have succeeded in obtaining an educa tion—deep, thorough, profound with but slender advantages in the tnldst of the most discouraging circumstances. Now the Inference is, that If these could so nobly succeed, that you who have every advantage should certainly succeed. ' You have a first-class institution, located In a beauti ful city ; you have competent and experienced in structors and all the helps and appliances that are essential to a thorough education. But these are notsuMelent withoutearnest self-application. In order to succeed you must have an honorable:ambi tion, a spirit of laudable aspiration and enterprise. Resolve that whatever any woman has attained to—that shall be your mark—and press towards the mark of your high calling. Do not be afraid of laying out too much work. Dr. Clark sold the old adage about having too many Irons In the fire was an abominable old lie—have all In you can get In, shovel, tongs and poker. Your danger Is not In the quantity of work undertaken, but In the want of system. Have a time for each study and improve every study hour and you will succeed. Above all do not slight your studies and then sub stitute an excuse for a recitation. Never try to scare up a headache, or convenient slekness—but always face the musk, and come up to time. Do not allow the wiseacres to shake their heads sig nificantly and say, " Alt? there's nothing there." Exercise an indomitable will, an unyielding determi nation. • The history of literature Is full of wonders. The unconquerable will gathers new strength un der rffiwouragements, and works Itself Into a sort of omnipnteacy which sweeps away the most ap palling difficulties and tramples under foot the most formidable obstacles. The iron will Is more 'powerful than genius. Genius is morbid, erratic, thrill. and burns with self-consuming ardor. It is a brilliant meteor but uncertain In Its course. It is a beautiful flower but cannot endure the storms of adversity. More is to be expected from laborious mediocrity, than from the spasmodic efforts of a wayward genius. In one of our school reading lessons, we were taught that although genius outstripped application in the outset, ap plication first gained the summit. of the hill of science. Instability, fickle-mindedness, vacell biting purposes are the great obstacles to success In any enterprise. " Unstable ns water thou shalt not excel." Cultivate a spirit of self-con.ll - anti pcsitToto. self-dependence. And here do not mistake our meaning. You should always feel and acknowledge your dependence upon an overruling providence, and carefully avoid an arrogant selfsuffleicney and a garrulous self-conceit. " Secet thou a man whit: in Ms own eyes, there is more hope of a fool than of him." The self- conceited coquette is wiser In her own eyes than seven men that can render a reason. The self dependence we recommend is as far from self conceit, as virtue is from vice. Living in an at mosphere peculiar to herself, ever relying upon pretence and falsehood, covering her own shabby raiment, with a cloak of drapery, the self-conceited miss cheats herself into the belief that the profes sions and attainments of others are alike hollow and meretricious. So lone as others do not laugh her in the face, she thinks her assurance passes for knowledge, her insolence for authority, and her Impertinence for wit. She verily believes that every one she meets is as great a fool as herself. Miserable deception ! The beggar that bows for her pittance and they who receive her patronage and many who minister to her vanity, have taken her dimensions and laugh at her folly. No one can pass long for more than she Is worth hi any market. But a genuine self-trust entrenches it self In the inmost soul, and is conscious ofin dwelling power. It does not sit down lu idleness, waiting for the wheel of fortune to linprove the condition of things. It does not call upon Jupi ter to push the wagon out of the mire. But cau -1 getically applies Its own 8110111cler to the wheel. She who would triumph over obstacles, and ascend the heights of excellence In the realm of naiad, must work with the continuous vigor of a steam ship on an ocean voyage. Day by day the tires must burn and the wheels revolve in the calm and In the gale, in the sunshine and In the storm. Thus have we endeavored to bring the subject before you in a plain, practical, common sense manlier. We have aimed to place the responsi bility where it belongs. There is no royal road to knowledge—no [attainments for those 5110 dream away existence. No solid acquirements for the aimless. • None for those who fritter away time by foolish dissipation or divide their encl.:4los by pursuing the gilded forms of fashionable folly. No romantic moon-struck miss can ever hope to excel. If the yellow covered novel is preferred to the book of seedy, then we shall have a welsh, giddy butterfly Instead of a full developed woman. We shall have a parlor ornament, a toy, Instead of one able to take part in the great concerns of life and fulfill her high mission on the earth. We hail with pleasure the advance of education In Ole land and rejoice that our danulani, if., well as our oie gulden irtilts. But lee would fail utterly If we were to close without ful l:ening to the moral culture—the education of the soul. A perfect education Involves this as one of Its essential elements. Religion is ft life capable of endless developments. Hence every successful institution will locorporut this as One of its ends. It Is true that there Is an amazing power in the educational oppllances of society, and it is equally true that society, acting under its own Inward lit pulse and going forth guidedby the focal light of the world's history and.experience, may gain the sumtnit of human improvement and joy. We ad mit that human nature is capable of this, and that a right education is a vast engine, for working out this grand result. We look upon society in a light similar to that In Which we view the prolific earth —a vast field of capability. In the elements and conformation of the earth, exist the matter and conditional laws of the fragrant flower—the aro matic shrub and the magestie oak of the forest. But it requires the power and presence of the great orb of day to awaken Its latent energies, to evolve its gases and to elaborate the inherent vegetable life with which its generous bosom swells. It is the office of this celestial !meld to efileet the eve ning dew and shed it over the roseate cheek of the vale, his to gather the teeming summer cloud and pour out Its moistening rain upon the forest and upon the field, his to equalize the pervading gases of Alm atmosphere front which the opening bud and foliage nosy absorb the elements of their future perfection and beauty. Thus It IS With society possessing in the natural 'endowments of Its individual part., the capacity for exalted Im provement and In its progress, additional facilities for growth and elevation, yet it requires the warm rays and genial influence of true religion to bring It to ultimate perfection. Science and religion are closely related; they abide in perfect harmony. Religion confirms science and science confirms re ligion. They mutually adorn each other. The mind under their control cannot he sterile and bar ren but Must bee,ome an Eden of beauty, a paro dies of delight. The vernal season of youth will afford a profusion of sweetest flowers ' • the sum mer of life will be loaded with the choleest fruits, and antannes frosty period will he crowned with the golden harvest of plenty. I would conclude with an earnest appeal to all before me. Never was there a time in the history of our country when It was more important to found and cherish institutions of learning. Recent events have given. it stability to our government audit prominence to our natiou, and the eyes of the world are looking upon us as we are working out the mightiest problem of ages—that man is capable of self government, that republics are permanent, that humanity may develop its most exalted anus, and reach Its highest destiny without kings or po tentates, eschewing alike monarchical or aristo cratic sway. Education physical, mental, moral, will he the cement. of die glorious structure we have reared on tints Western Continent, and long shall it lift its lofty turrets and send forth Its streaming rays the light and glory and admiration of the world. Planted In such a soil, nurtured by such a culture, here men and women, made in the Image of God, a little lower than the angels, shall work out the divine purpose and bless the race. If see fall ; then disastrous will be the failure. But there is no such word as fall in our vocabu lary. As I look over the bright eyes and intelli gent countenances of this congregation, I feel Mire all Will resolve to win. Especially to the young ladles would I direct my appeal. What a vast field opens before you In this land. Here you are free from the degradation which in many lands is the lot of woman. You are considered man's equal.

" Glrationes Salutalorke," by Miss Minerva Schwenk. This was well delivered, In a clear and distinct voice. "Co-education," by Miss Addle F. Sherman, (daughter of the Principal). This was a superior production, and was very highly praised by all. MISS Sherman opposed the co-education of the sexes, and though " woman's right's" were not mentioned, yet the whole tenor of the essay was In opposition to the usual acceptation of the term, viz.: the participation of women In the active duties of political and business life so much more suitable for the sterner sex. Co-education of the sexes was opposed as having a tendency to make girls masculine, and to deprive them of the natu ral modesty which Is woman's greatest charm. MISR Sherman's delivery was admirable—her voice being distinctly heard In all parts of the house. "Flee ns a bird." " Follies and Vices," by Minerva Schwenk. The speaker made sonle excellent points. Idle and fast young men, smokers, wine-bibhe•s and votaries of fashion were" handled without gloves" by the fair speaker. Oration for the Second D.-gree—subject "Bible," by Agnes A. Shultz, A. 11.

Sher- matt, A. 13. The benediction was pronounced by Rev. J. Hendricks, and the large audience was dismissed. Dr. Sunderland, the former Principal of the Col lege, spoke highly of the proficiency of the gradu ating class, stating that no class had ever acquitted itself better or reflected greater credit upon the col lege: The same opinion was expressed by other competent Judges present. The essay of one of the graduates, Miss Addle F. Sherman, was highly commended by all, and the delivery of all the lady speakers was remarkable for clearness of utterance and correct and graceful delivery. All the exer cises were highly successful, and fully sustained the excellent reputation of the college. Too much praise cannot be bestowed upon Miss Walker, the music teacher, for the skill with which she conducted the musical exercises, of which she had entire charge. She was ably assisted by Misses Casselberry, Jones and Bomberger, her and by Mr. Hunelcker and Miss Bomber ger, of Freeland • also by Mr. Freeman and Mr. Linderman, of thsinus College, to all of whom the thanks of the graduating class and the visit ors are due.
