TUE LESSONS OF COMMENCE
MENTS.
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

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.

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.

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

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

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. You can mould mind, influence public
sentiment, stop the flow of vice, raise a barrier to
the flood tides of wickedness. You have the
speet, the confidence, the veneration of the sterner
• sex. You may not enter the Senate Chamber, you
may not plead at the bar, you may not enter the
pulpit or forum, but you may mould the senator,
Ole o lawyer or the minister; you may control
through them the political and moral welfare of
the age. la the more appropriate and' congenial
spheres of usefulness, you may act your part and
be a power in the earth. There la frothing more
lovely in the universe of God than a young wo
man, well educated, deeply pious, laboriously and
, zealously engaged In aiding the elevation of
society ; one who seeks to gain by all the round
of social duties and Intellectual pureults, that more
perfect, refined and noble life of the soul, in virtue
of which, she can alone shine with increasing bril
liancy and shed around her a quickening power
for good. Especially will this be the ease, if what
we have aimed at In this discussion Is realized, in
the proper improvement of the facilities you pos
sess to obtain a liberal and thorough education,
and If with it you have chosen the better part
which cannot be taken from you. If, to the ac
complishments of literature and the grace and re
finements of social life, you add that pure spirit of
religion, which exalts whatever, dt penetrates, en
riches poverty, and pours the light of knowledge
into the untutored mind of Ignore nee, assimulates
you to God, and holds in blest harmony all the
powers of the soul ; which consecrates all our at.
talaments to the noblest uses, opens ever fresh
fields of action and usefulness, softens the rugged
' tress and relieves the painfidness of the darfier
hours of life, sheds a benison around affliction and
ministers blessings through the sorrows of time

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

voice being distinctly heard In all parts of the
house.
