"?Vi m ,° clock - President I
Wilson, of the Wesleyan, presided, and i
the graduates and a number of pupils of
the College, occupied seats upon the
Stage.
The
stàge scenery representing a garden
and woodland, was arranged with charm
ing effect as to light and shade, form
ing a pleasing background to the array of
white-robed youth and beauty, upon
which the audience gazed with admiring
The programme of exercises included
ten essays, by members of the gradu
ating class, interspersed with a variety of
vocal aud Instrumental musical selec
tion«. The f»ay« were notable for clear
ness of thought and expression, aud
were read ln a self-possessed manner,
with perfect intonation and due regard to
the sentiments and ideas which they ex
pressed. They were as follows :
Culture," by Miss Elexzena
8. Hill, of Smyrn-i, Del.,showing the ne
cessity of a good education, the great im
portance of laying a good, solid fouuda
tion for learning, and tbe benefits to be
derived in the later years of life from a
well-stored, educated and cultured mind.
Miss Hill also read tbe Latin salutatory,
which is equal ih rauk with the valedic
tory.
"HUtory aud Influence of Music," by
Miss Mary Deshler, of Allentown, Pa.,
was short, but interesting. It referred
to the grand triumphs of some of tbe
leading composers, and spoke of the
fining influences of music when brought
to bear upon the finer feelings of the hu
man mind. Miss Deshler also delivered
the English salutatory.
"Westering Sunbeams," by Miss Mary
H. Brisbane, of Philadelphia, compared
the beauteous rays of the descending
western sun with ibe closing hours of
life, showing bow pleasant must be the
memories of old age when the deeds of a
well spent fife mark the days of the past.
"Echoes of the Years," by Miss Addie
Lockwood, of Baltimore, Md., depicted
the happinees to be derived from the
memories of old age, when the past life
has been one of usefulness aud good
works, and the bitter memories of age
when tbe life has been wasted in vain
purposes and base pursuits.
•'Defeat one of the Stairs to Heaven,'*
by Miss Jennie B. Biggs, of Summitt
Bridge, Del., showed that defeat, aud op
position backed by continued persever
ence, were but stepping stones to success,
and cited, among o«her examples, Sir
Edward Bulwer Lytton, who, after re
pealed failures, achieved a proud emi
nence as the greatest writer and drama
tist of the age. Gud has given man the
power to do what is light, and he should
pause not, but look up, undeterred by de
feat, undismayed by opposition, aud
climb the mount of learning until the
highest pinnacle of suicessis achieved.
"The Methuselah of the Niueteenth
Century," by Miss Caroleaue F. R.
Smith of Wilkcabarre, Pa., after reft;
ring pleasantly to the pro-racted li»e of
Methu.el&h ot old, said that the Methus
claii of to-day is he who does most for
hls fellow man, and who «owers above
his contemporaries as does the oak above
the stunted cedar. He lives most who
lives best, and he who acts the noblest
lives lom,eBl in the hearts of aud memor
ies of mankind.
Mental
n
"Morning Mysteries," by Miss E. Belle
Purnell, ot Snow Hill, Md., «poke of tbe
clouds of the morning, tbe mystery of
their coming and going, and their vaned
beauty of form aud construction. But as
tbe morning does not always indicate the
weather for the day, so in life the morn
ing of youth failsto foretell the quicksands
and snares that beset the meridian of ex
istence. In tbe morning of youth the
shadows of life are before us; at noon we
trample them under foot; while at even
ing we see t)iem extending far behind.So
like tbe clouds stands man, a mountain
between two worlds, standing upon one
and seeing bright glimpses of the world
beyond. _ „
"Glimpses of Art," by Miss Lila F.
Hopkins, of Easton, Md., alluded to art
_ ihe representations of nature, aud the
productions of the thoughts of great and
gi.led men. It referred to the origin of
painting, when the Grec'an girl painted
the profile of her lover, and alluded to
the powerful influence exerted by the fine
aits upon humau sympathy and society
Who can gaze upon works of art without
feelings of elevation and reflnemenii 1 The
standard of ai t should ever be that most
pleasing aud agreeable to cultivated
minds, and should embody the highest
light of the day. „ ,
"Mlent Cities," by MissLeliaG. Whit
aker, of Havre de Grace, Md., referred
to the ruins of antiquity, and how the
manners, habits and character of the
people of ancient cities were shown by
the various exhumations recently and
now being made. Our boasted superi
ority is disproved by tbe many evidences
of art and science now being brought
forth from the buried cities ol the past,
which also teach us that mind and matter
are alike indestructible.
Previous to the valedictory the presen
tation of diplomas was made by Presi
dent W ilson. He stated that the gradu
ates were ten iu number, eight of whom
where entitled to the degree of Artlurn
Baccalaureum, and to the others the de
of Mistress of English Branches.The
gree
first eight were as follows:
Misses Elexzena Hill,Mary Deshler,

Caroleaue F. R' Smith, E. Belle P urne 1.
Lila F. Hopkius, aud Julia L. Mai
th Those graduating in the English
Diss Leila G. W hitaker
branches were
and Miss Addie Lockwood.
In presenting the diplomas, I resident
Wilson in brief and well-chosen remarks
assured the graduates of tbe of the pi««
ure it afforded him to present them with
the testimonials of their success. H
hoped they would all return to tl eir
home circles with cultivated minds pure
spirits aDd nobler aims in life, and hoped
they would never regret the time spent
in the institution from 'ÿ^T/ndêre d
ahout to depart. He cordiaHy te derea

to with evident pleasure and attention
and each was heartily applauded. They
were remarkable ln thought and compo

manner In which they were delivWl,
each one being so correctly memorized

GOSPEL TEMPERANCE.
There was an excellent meeting at the
City Hall, last evening, notwithstanding
the storm.
Dr. Hicks opened with prayer and
reading of thi scripture. He spoke of the
life and blindness which Christ came to
give ro every soul who will receive it,
and exhorted all to turn from the vaiD
pursuit of seif indulgence to the service
of God.
Dr. Bigelow then made an earnest
speech drawn in part from his own exper
ience of the evils of rum.
Short speeches were also made by Mes
srs. Carroll, Clark, Righter, Smith. H
ersey
anil others. All the speeches were spirit
ed, and all recognized the need of Divine
help ln this work of saving
Mr. A. A. Townsend, Dr.
men.
Bigelow aud
other npeAkers are expected thid even

The Gospel Temperance meeting
_ j tent, corner of Fourth and Lomb
streets, on the Bush aud Lobdell lot, will
opened this evening if it does not rain.
The intimation in yesterdays paper that
Mr. Kramer would establish an independ
ent congregation here was a mistake,—
Mr. Kramer will preach in the tent next
Sunday, but this is but incidental. The
tent was pitched where it now is with the
view of holding a gospel meeting, in tbe
interest of temperauce and religion, and
not with a view of acting for, or against
any particular party or sect. It is expect
ed that Ministers aud others of all denom
inations will r saisi in the meetings.
