Rev. A. F. Mason of Portland, will preach
to-morrow forenoon at the Baptist church.
There will Ik* no services in the afternoon.
The Daily Journal will he issued on Mon
day, (Fourtlkof July,) but no paper will be
published on Tuesday morning.
Our friends of the Free Baptist Society made
ample provision at their Strawberry festival
on Thursday evening for a large attendance. .
The shower kept many away, hut those who
were present had all the more strawberries
and cream—real cream, not skim-milk.
A little incident at the hotel where the
members of the Trinity commandery stopped
while in Bangor, exhibited, although in a
somewhat embarrassing and ludicrous man
ner, the full rights of a Master Mason, when
in distress and lost in the fogy- The initiated
will understand.
The snarling of the Standard every wee k at
the lion. James <v. Blaine, reminds us very
much of some illmannered curs which are
often seen in riding through the country.
They generally come out of their hiding places
with an impetuous snarl and hark, hut are
careful to keep clear of the driver’s whip.
Whether the starry w riter w ill do the same
remains yet to be seen.
A young man of seven summers who had
absented himself from school for two or three
days, was required on his reappearance to
procure a written excuse from his mother.
The boy's mother had supp<»cd that her boy
had been absent but bait n day, anti was
about to write on excuse to cover that time.
The little fellow set ing that tins would defeat
the object, said, **(>!», mother, don’t put any
day to it, ’cause the teacher’s so busy that she
can’t stop to read days—say. “phase excuse
Johnny for being absent."
Mr. J. R. Ilill. the new proprietor of the
Hallowed House, will open the hotel on the
Fourth of duly. The people of Hallowed
and the traveling public generally have long
fi it the necessity of a firsf class hotel. We
think the demand will be fully met in the ad- j
inirfthle arrangements which have been made
by Mr. Ilill. His table will be supplied with
the best the market afford-1, and his rooms
have an air of neatness anil comfort al<out
them that is refreshing. Mr. Hill has had
considerable experience in the business, and
knows how to “run a hotel.”
The Fourth at the National Asylum.
The soldiers at this institution will duly ob

from their headquarters to the cemetery, when
Capt. P. 'J'. Woodfin will preside. Speeches
on the general subject of temperance will then
be made. At two o’clock 1\,.M.. a small bal
loon will ascend, and another each successive
hour until evening, when fireworks will be
exhibited. Doubtless there will be quite
a number attend the celebration from this

Exercise* of the Graduating (lass of the Augusta
High .School.
For several weeks, the members of the sen
ior class in the high school have heen looking
forward with n lively interest to the exercises
of the graduating class, a feature somewhat
new in the history of the school, hut warrant
ed hy the commendable progress made within
a few years, and endorsed hy all the friends
of education in the district.
These exercises took place yesterday after
noon in Meonian Hall, and were witnessed hy j
a refined and cultivated audience composed of
the parents of the pupils and many of their
friends. The day marked a resting place
from study and a delightful retiospect of the
field which had heen diligently cultivated.
The students all took a just pride in making
the affair a worthy “commencement which
they could look hack upon with pleasure in
the years that are to come.
There were six members of the graduating
class, Jennie A. Philbrook, Lizzie ( \ ivian.
Florence Waltz*?, Addie E. Pillsbnry, Isa]
Snell and Addie L. Blake. The essays recit
ed hy the graduates on this occasion, were
original, and as compositions they v .* re pro
ductions of which we have no Ik citation in
speaking in terms of praise. They showed
that the instruction imparted during the term
was thorough and systematic, not only in the
ornamental department, hut in the more solid
and substantial studies.

singing whic h interspersed the declamation*.
About fifty of the members of tin mhool.
neatly dressed and bearing bouquets of flowers
joined in the songs, which were rendered to
the complete satisfaction of the audi. ice.
Previous to the parts of the graduating
[.•lass, there were declamations by the mem
bers ( f the school, as will he mm n by the
programme. True, in his Latin Salutatory,
appropriately adJressed the dirt ;<»rs. the
teachers and the audience. Thom? >n’s se

life. W e never can reac h the id a! -there is |
Always soim tl ing beyond—new h* iiits to he i
sealed, and fresh obstacles to he overcome.
Without this power of idealism, with a nature
tending to cv il, we could notdiscovt r the good
Angel within, representing the better side of j
life. If we could only see tin? truth as repre- !
rented in our ideal vision, how soon would the
world he transformed from shadow into a
glorious and beautiful habitation. The essay
was well conceived and delivered with a quiet
Aiul modest grace.
1 he History of the Class was then given by
Miss Addic P. P'tllsbury As the members of
the class were now about for the I t time to
break the ties that had been ccim i .'mg them
together for years, it might be profitable to
take a glance in review. She tb« n gave a
i. mprehensive and general history of the
high school itself, which was cxce< dingly in
ti resting. especially to those immediately
connected with the school. She t. ferred in
complimentary terms to Mr. Water! ousc, and
told of the despair that settled down upon the
school when he had determined to give up hi>
charge here. The historian then turned to
the bright record made by the pr. nt Prin
cipal, Mr. Lambert and his pers \ ring ef
forts f.»r the good of the school; alluded in
touching terms to the early death of Allan
Rutherford; and passed to the consideration
af tin* peculiar and perhaps fancied charae
tei i i'. of rue of the members of : le school.
The hi ■ ». v wa '• »onccted, tilled w h a quiet,
refined hn.n m, an 1 was read hi n . .asv and
pretty manner.
To Miss Jennie A. Philbrook v aligned j
the duty of raising t!»e veil that hides the ,
mysterious future, and to read the v. tits tha* \
await her associates and herself in the days 1
that are beyoml. Oi such an o. i*ion she'
would not r ill up the spirit of • now and
melancholy, lait that of hope, jo\ id happi
ness. With the power of Sybil, tl." prophet
ess, she would trace out the wanderings of
the class. She hail knelt in tie lie! ng before
this prophetess, atni hieu permit,1 to look
upon her chin-mutes ns they will appear
twenty years lienee. We cannot give in the
glowing words of the prophecy, the happy
destiny of cat'll, hut can simply • ly that to
Addie Blake was assigned a stalely residence
in Chicago, with a wealthy merchant fora hus
band. Florence Wallze was to 1 eeome the
author of a celebrated poem on the ‘■Ideal
and the Real,” with a magnificent mansion in
Boston as her residence. The Empire city
was to witness the brilliant effort- of Addie
1 ‘illstmry, where she would sway immense au
diences by her burning eloquence upon the
subject of Women’s Rights. In Rome, in a
gallery of art, diiigeutly engaged at her can
vass, twenty year hence will be tound Isa
Snell, destined to become a celebrated
painter. The scene cl winged to the old Pine
Tree State, and here in Augusta, which has
undergone a marvellous transformation, are the
scenes of Lizzie Vivian’s triumphs. Shelias
just left the charge of a seminary of learning
and is led to the altar by a young minister
whose eloquence is superior to Henry Ward
Beecher’s. Next we turn our ryes to the
South, and in a little school house surrounded
by black children, the prophetess places
Jennie Philbrook, with the task In-fore her of
unfolding-idcas stowed away in woolly heads.
Miss Philbrook closed the books of prophecy,
which in her hands were rich and scholarly,
and urged the class in affectionate language
to make the future as bright as that foretold
by the Sybil.
Miss Lizzie C. Vivian was assigned the
honorable and complimentary position of
Valedictorian. She commenced by alluding
to the sympathy and earnest support which the
school and its various objects had received
from the citizens, and the scholars would ever
gratefully remember them. In the parting
hour there arises emotions of pleasure and
pain—pleasure, that after the confinement and
study of years, a wider range opens be fore us ;
pain, that the dear ties must he broken and
the familiar scenes of school life pass away.
The future may be viewed with trembling and
foreboding, but with the help of Him who has
promised Ilis support, we can go forth into
life bravely and successfully. The thanks of
the school she then returned to the hoard of
Directors, for their words of encouragement
and acts of kindness ; and also to the former
teachers of the class, with the fond hope that
they might see the fruit of their labor and
sacrifice. Mi s Vivian then turned to Mr.
Lambert, and in words of tender affection,
which 1 rought tears to many eyes, expressed
the gratitude of the class to him. She
ask til a place in his heart for the grad
uating class of '70. To her schoolmates an
earnest appeal was made that they should iro
forward in their studies to the graduation
period. To her own companions in the grad
uating class, tin words she uttered were full
ill tenderness. The path they had travelled so j
long together was now diverging into other
path*. I.et u- .-<> live that when the song of
■‘Harvest Horn- ’ shall he sung, we maybe
heavily laden with rich sheave-, and all meet
where parting (ball be no more. The validic
tory was full of tenderness and beauty, and
will long be remembered by the c lass of 70.
The audience manifested their appreciation
r.f the different parts by applause, and the pre
sentation of bouquets to the students.
The diplomas were presented to the class by
Rev. (’. R. Moor. Chairman of the Board of
Directors, who said that they were the first
diplomas ever given to young ladies in the
Augusta High School. Every citizen of the
[dace should feel a just pride that we can pre
sent such a class and afford such an educa
tion as they had received.
The exercises of the afternoon, whic h were
successful in every particular, closed by sing
ing the following original Ode:
