MISS BROWN.
This was followed with a recitation
by Miss Brown entitled, "Michael Stro
goff, Courier to the Czar."
Mis Brown gave her recitation in a
very crcditablo manner. Her voice was
clear, her gestures were good, and she
received loud applause. This speaker

roeeived the second honor for scholar
ship during her conrse of study. Hex
seleclion in part was as follows :
lichael Strogoff, Courier to the Czar.
Hussia was threatened by a Taitar in
vnsiun. The commander of the Rus
sian troops was tho Czar's brother, the
(irand Duke, now stationed at Irkutsk.
Suddenly all communications were cut
off between him and the Czar by the
enemy under Ivan Ogareff, a traitor
who had sworn to betray Russia and
kill the (J rand Duke. It became neces
sary to send' a messenger to warn him
of his danger and Michael was chosen
for that purpose. He was brought be
fore the Czar and questioned.
The Czar handed him a letter which
lie was Id deliver to the Grand Duke nt
Irkutsk. He was warned to evade the
Tartars. Upon it depended all Siberia,
and perhaps the life of the Grand Duke.
When he got to Omsk ho stopped
to eat his dinner. As he was about to
leave the piaee he heard a cry "My
son." He lucked and saw his mother
kut would not recognize her, as this
would endanger his life and mission,
"gareff, however, heard of the occur
rence and succeeded in nrrcs'ing Mich
ael and both In niul h'm mother were
l'1-..uu lit before Ogareff. His mother
was killed because she would not roc
ntrni.e Miclim.l in n r-rnvvil of m'isoiiers.
Michael struck Ognreff a number of
tilows across tlio face, but 20 soldiers
jlllnneil on him. Tim loiter was found
in his bosom, lie was sentenced not to
death but to blindness.
He knew Ogareff would carry a false
message to the Grand Duke. Ho es
"iped the officers and pushed on to Ir
kutsk and as he walked into the palace
! v- r
ho saw Ogarcff and a duel ensued and
Ogareff was killed. Tears in Michael's
eyes at tho time ho was stricken had
saved his sight and he was enabled to
carry out his oath
"For Go1!, for the Czar and for my
native land."
Miss Brown is ono of Barre's very
best speakers, and her recitation this
time was especially well rendered.
Miss Gladdys E. Beeklcy's sweet
voice was heard in a vocal solo enti
tled "Gypsies"'.
Hon. John W.Gordon followed with
an address which was ono of tho best

part as follows :
Practical Aims.
On occasions like this it is usual to
impress upon young people tho import
ance of high ideals. They are told to
aim high, to watch the rainbow of
promise, to seek its treasures of gold,
to "hitch their wagon to a star" and the

inspiration and effort that have a forma

When Peter tho Great of Russia vis
ited France, ho embraced the statue of
Riehulieu, exclaiming "Ah great man,
if thou were still alive I would give thee
ono half my kingdom to teach me to
govern tho other." The great Cardin
al was a master of the art of govern
ment of his time. Hut his work was to
crumble. The French Academy is the
only great institution that ho promoted
that flourishes in the civilization of to
day. Peter visited foreign countries in the
role of a day laborer in order to acquaint
himself with the coming arts, llo be
came a shipwright in order to teach his
countrymen the way to build a navy.

lot or rotation is pot tho mode of olec
tion ; where Miltiades is sure to bo in
command whero the fate of a ci
vilization hangs over Marathan. It
ought to always Jbe remembered that
"Honor and shame from no condition
rise ; act well your part, there all the
honor lies," what matters it to us wheth
er a man once split rails or tanned hides,
provided he is able to preside over the
nation in its troubled hour or lead its
armies to victory. Napoleon possessed
much of the wisdom of the world if but
little of its morality. His marshalls
were selected for their merit.
Generally speaking labor is held in
high esteem in this country, specifically
it is not. The native born element
shuns many employments. When a
young man graduates from school and
refuses to go back to the farm because he
has persuaded himself that his little
knowledge is too valuable to be lost in
rural obscurity, and chooses tho great
and bustling city, where life is more in
tense and diversified, he often finds him
self without any honorable means of
living, and at last reaches an unchoscn
destination, as if he were a piece of
wreckage among the tides. By seven
years of war the revolutionary fathers
established our political independence
but were bound fast by the bondage of
debt. And who led us out to that
second bondage? Was it Hamilton with
his scheme of finaneeP No it was Eli
Whitney, the humble and unrequited
benefactor of his race. He turned the
exhausted rice fields of tho south into
richer mines of wealth than those of
California and tho Klondyke. By his
invention he enabled ono man to do as
much in a day as five thousand could do
before, gave us not two blades of grass
for one but the cotton plant live thou
sand fold. llo erowticd cotton king;
paid tho national debt; gave the nation
its second birth of freedom; and man
kind more raiment than all the Hocks of
Israel since the Great Deliverance.
Tho young man who feels above ag
riculture and would rather own a box of
cigarettes than a bushel of potatoes has
been a dull student of our history. A
hundred years ago tho great basin be
tween the Alleghaney and Rocky Moun
tains was a wilderness ;- today it is the
abode of forty millions of people. They
have gathered from every quarter of
the earth. Their loadstone has been
the soil; Ihoir reward the harvest.
Their car is tho harvester, once ridicul
ed as n cross between the circus wagon
a wheelbarrow ami a Hying much i ue.
There are other occupations as useful
and I'ouoiuldo from which the schooled
young American turns away. His con
duct should not perhaps itio entirely as
cribed to the schools. Other causes arc
in operation and show thqir cffnets un
der various conditions and at difft ivnt
times.
Inveniion has exempted us from imicli
of the ilrudgrry of former liiucs. Sw am
alone is estimated to be doing the work
of two millions of men. Thus the vapor
of water thai floats idly in tho clouds is
doin"; more work than throe times the
population of the United Slates.
The young men and women wno go
forth from our educalional institutions
cannot always chose their emph-ment.
Circumstances 'arc said to determine
what we are to do; our own free will
how we are to do it. But the readiest
thing to do is as likely to be the most
advantageous to us and to society. Do
not seek a service in the distance. Do
thai which is the nearest at baud if it
is only the digging of a dilch. The roll
ins; stone gathers no moss. Opportuni
ties are everywhere They are as thick
as field stone, and inav seem like litem
to bo without proiii. But the trouble is
with us and not the stone. Jt was the
mouse that put immortality into the
verse of Burns; a shirt that suggested
to Hood his fa mom song : nu accident in
a conn r store thai rovi aled to Goodyear
the secret for which he toiled so long ; a
a coil of wire, a knitting needle, the
skin of a German suage, the bung of a
beer barrel and a si rip of platinum was
the first real telephone. Out of the
blocks of granite from the old sheep
pastures of Millstone hill angels may
be carved as beautifully as these thai
adorn the Cistiue chapel.
Your opporiinilics I repeat are every
where. They are a river that flows on
forever. More stars than Newton and
Kepler saw ; than Lavoiser and Adams
weighed are in tho heavens above you ;
the same colors that Turner and Millet
spread upon their canvass of immortal
fame are still in tho landscape and the
vesper hour ; fossilas more numerous
than those thatAgozzie and Miller found
are still sleeping where they have slept
so long in the stratified bods of tho
earth, on al Tsides is something still to
"being back tne hour" "Of splendor
in the grass, of glory in tho flowers."
if these things are beyond your circum
stances, powers tastes or aspirations, it
matters not. In the ordinary avocations
is opportunity no less. Drive a mule if
you have nothing else to do. The twen
tieth president did it. It was honorable
in him. It will bo honorable in you.
Nobody should object unless it, be the
mule. We occasionally hear of some
duke or count who has not been able to
marry an American heiress reduced to
the necessity of earning his bread by tho
sweat of his brow, and we are called
upon to pity him. Yet it may bo tlio
noblest lliing he or his ancestors have
done through all the geneartions while
his blood has been crawling down "from
some victor in a border brawl."
Fond parents often strive to place
their sons and daughters in what seems
to theni to be a better position than that
in which they themselves started life.
This is commendable, yet it often hap
pens that if tho son or daughter could
have started where tho parent did, suc
cess would have come in place of failure.
The roi niing vantage is disadvantage.
Happy will those young men and
women be, if as they go forth from our
school they find themselves disposed to
lake up the task before them whatever
it may bo. Unhappy will they bo if
they find themselves disposed to quarrel
with their opportunities ; to wait upon
luck; to lot even a trilling opportunity
go by without improvement because of
a falso notion of dignity. An honest
opportunity never lacks dignity, If
our schools have engendered a contrary
sentiment, there is error somewhere.
"There is" says Carlylo, "a perennial
noblenessss, and even sacrcdness in
work. Wcro ho never so benighted,
forgetful of his high calling (here is al
ways hopo in a man that actually and
earnestly works ; in idleness alono is
there perpetual despair. Work never
so niamonish, mean in its communica
tion with nature; the real desire to gel
work done will itself lead ono moro and
more to truth ; to Natures appoint
ments and regulations, which are truth."
We (rust that your od neat ion has been
along the right lines, and that you will
go forth to your opportunities manfully
and womanly; that you will accept
without hesitancy tho inestimable ad
vantages of full and requited labor.

'Night Bring! Out The Stars"
Sumo years ao an American astrono-

great ancestor as he gazed for the firs!
time tij on the going down of the sun.
What i-lraiige sensations mu.-l have swc;..t
through his bewilded mind, as he watch
ed the last departing ray of the sinking
orb; unconscious whether ho should
ever behold its return.
A mysterious darkness creeps over
the face of nature ; the beautiful scenes
of earth are slowly, fading, one by one,
from his dimmed vision. A gloom deep
er than that which covers the -earth,
steals across the mind of earths solitary
inhabitant. He raises his inquiring ga.e.
towards heaven, and To, asilver crescent
of light clear and beautiful, hanging in
the western sky meets his astonished
gaze. He is attracted by her bright
attendants. The hours glide by; the
silver moon is gone; the stars arc slowlv
ascending the heights of heaven, and
solemnly sweeping down in tho still
ness of the night.
"How often have we, too gazed into
the dcep-voulled heavens, and watched
the stars as they s'lentlv take their plac-

When darkness deep

cannot wo by
faith look beyond the present, and trust
that light and joy will yet return:'
Day will return wiih a fresher boon,
God will remember the world,
Night will come with a newer moon,
God will remember the world,"
Many dark nights are recorded upon
the paircs of history, but each has its
peculiar stars which render tho darkness
less intenso and give light and hope to
the benighted traveller. At the begin
ning of this era, we find that Rome's day
lias departed and feiv stars arc discerna
ble in the darkness.
The onward course of her civilization
is retarded, idleness, luxuriance, ex
travagance and immorality arc. sapping
her national strength. " She is beset; by
foes within and foes without. Human
aid can no longer avail, when, lo, our
eyes, like those of the shepherds, are
attracted by a star lo the. little .Jewish
village of Bethlehem where we behold
in the lowly manger another star des
tined lo eelipse all others. Once more
the principles of justice, equity and
love, so long obscured in the dec lying
eidlization. are restored. Once more
the light of truth is dawning and the
sublimity of the divine character in
spires the hearts of men with loLior,
nobler sentiments. Christ in person

Let us look back lo the year of 1(519
and we shall see a shadow gathering
over tbo small colony of Virgini. In
this year a Dutch merchant brings
from the shores of Africa a cargo com

with them a darkness blacker than their
complexions. Their labor an a tobacco

for, tho cloud increases, increases, will
it. never stop growing P The foremost
men in the colony observo ils threaten
ing aspect and endeavor to dispel it, but
still it grows denser and heavier until in
18(51 the awful storm bursts upon us.
This darkness is a fit selling for ono of
tho world's grandest lights, Abraham
Lincoln. From out tho smoko of the
conflict we hear theso words, "With
malice towards none, with charity for
all, with firmness in tho right, as God
gives us to see tho right, let us strive on
to finish the work we are in." Such a
sentence was never uttered but by a
great leader in a great cause. Lincoln's
greatness is growing in the minds of
men today, and tho Muse of History in
the twentieth century will record him
as the greatest human beuefactor of tbo
nineteenth.
Literaluro furnishes so many ex
amples of brilliant achievment amid
gloomy circumstances that one might
well exclaim, "Woo adds lustre to man
as night adds beauty to tho stars."
Prison walls witnessed Do Fou writ
ing Robinson Crusoe, Raleigh, His His
tory of tho World, Cervantes, his Don
(Quixote, Bunyan, his Pilgrims Progress
and Luther translating tho Bible, wrhilo
still others wrote their masterpieces
under as unfavorable circumstances.
Homer wrote his epic poem, The' Iliad
and Milttn Paradise Lost after they had
become totally blind. Danto was al
most deprived of his sight in writing his
Inferno.
Their misfortune served only to con
centrate energy to the noblest ends.
You recall what George McDonald says
of Milton, "I do believe God wanted a
grand poem of that man and so blinded
lii in that he might be able to write it."
But Bunyon's is the life that shows the
gem that may be polished from the
rough. The son of a poor tinker he re
ceived only enough education to enable
lii in to n ad and to write. But after his
wonderful conversion ho became a
s-u Tc-sful preacher among tho dissenters
of the time of the Stuarts. While thus
occupied he was seized and imprisoned
for disregarding the Five Mile Conven
tide Act. English prisoners in those
days were furnished with only the es-
J seulials of existence, yet on the untwist
j ed papers used to cork the bottles of
! milk brought for his meals, Bunyan
j wrote bis immor;al ailegory.
Science, inveniion, art in fact every
i department of human activity affords
ir- ii"d iiit proof that "Night brings out
