SIMPLICITY OF DRESS.

Female loneliness never appears to so good
advantage as when set off with simplicity of
dress. No artist ever decks his angels with
towering feathers and gaudy jewelry; and
our dear human angels, if they would make
good their title to that name, should careful
n avoid ornaments, which properly belong
% Indian squaws and African princesses.-
These tinselries may serve to give effect on
ire stage OF on the ballroom floor, but in
daily life there is no substitute for the charm
q simplicity, A vulgar taste is not to be dis
suised by gold diamonds. The absence Of a
true taste and refinement or delicacy, cannot
Be compensated for by the possession Of the
most pfinceIy fortune. Mind measures gold
but gold cannot measure mind. Through
dress tho mind may be read, as through thu
delicate tissue Of the lettered page. A mod
est woman viii dress modestly. A really re
hned and intellectual woman will bear TIL
marks Of hrefal selection and taste.

GREENSBORO FEMALE COLLEGE.

The Patriot contains a glowing account of
the examination exercises of this Institution.
On Wednesday afternoon ROBERT P. Dick,
ESQ, delivered an Address before the two Lit
erary Societies of the College. 1t was an ex-
cellent enthusiastically considered, and de-
ivered in a beautiful style of elocution which
fully sustained Mr.. Dicks reputation as a
speaker.
The Graduation exercises were solemn and
affecting. President Deems address to the
Graduating Class was a hearty, stirring, thrill

RE emotion in the soul of every A present
1t was a grand compliment to Weman, thu

additional building, TO accommodate the inereas

CADETS

Within a somewhat extensive field of OBJ
serraton, We have found, for the last few
months, more to encourage hope, and
strengthen expectations Of the progress and
final triumph Of temperance principles a.
mong the Cadets of Temperance, than any
other association. There is life and yigor in
their action. While men are discussing the
propriety and feasibility of a measure, the
boys will have adopted their plan, and exc
euted their measures. While men are clear
ing away the rubbish, and removing the thou
sand and n objections, the boys have bro
ken up the ground, and sown their seed, and
are watching the growth Of the crop. MOI
does this promptness often SAVIOR Of rashness.
We have witnessed less Objectionable legis-
lation among the boys than among the men.
Not that the boys have more wisdom, but
they baye less suspicion, and jealousy, and
distrust, than men. They have far more
confidence in each other-without which
there can be no harmony in associations-than
men have! This enables them to unite their
energies, and carry out their plans without
delay. We could cite facts in any quantity,
illustrative of this interesting trait in youth
full character, as exhibited in these juvenile
organizations.
We have attended meetings of men's asso-
Citations, at which an entire evening has been
spent in discussing some mere technically Of
trifing importance in itself, and of one al
all to the great purpose, of the institution
In associations where such discussions are
frequent, land no discussions are more likely
to be protracted,) the general objects Of tht
institution are lost sight Of; the meetings be
come uninteresting and dull to all except tht
disputants, and, as a thing of course, soor
thin down to a nominal attendance and ut

EYr At the October Session of the Grand Di-
vision, the question of holding annual, semi-an-
nual or quarterly sessions of the Grand Division,
was referred to the Subordinates for their de-
termination the result to be forwarded by each
to the G.. S. with their Returns, before the next
October session. We call attention to the mat
ter, in order that it may be attended to.
A Recommendation was also made to the Sub
ordinates to take steps to have every Division
Represented in the Grand Division, at all its
meetings. Suppose that every Subordinate G-
vision were to make an appropriation from i'
funds. annually, or provide otherwise, to defray
the necessary expenses of at least one represen
tative to the Grand Division. Such an arrange
ment would ensure a full attendance at every
session. Should two representatives be elected
let them share equally the appropriation madt
for one, unless the Division choose to pay tht
whole, and in the same ratio for any greater
number. We sincerely hope that every subor
dinate Division viii, at least, discuss this propc
sition, confident as we are, that it will lead tt
a satisfactory issue.

PROCESSION mi PHILADELPHIA.

The Sons Of Temperance had a splendid
parade in Philadelphia on Thursday of last
week. The papers speak Of the display as
one Of the most imposing which has taken
place in that city for a long time, and one
which IS calculated, without doubt, to exert a
powerful influence in the community. We
take the following account of the pageant
from the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin:
The Grand Parade Of the Sons of Tenn
perance came off in accordance with previous
announcement. Notwithstanding the ex-
treme ssltriness Of the weather, the turnout
Of the Order was large, and the display splen-
did and imposing.
The countermarching of the Divisions in
their simple, yet chaste, rich and beautiful
regalia, with banners waving and bands play
ing. was a magnificent and thrilling sight !;
while, as a moral spectacle, it was truly sub
lime. The real lover Of Temperance, might
have contemplated the scene for hours, with
out firing.
There were nearly sixty Divisions in line,
which at the time of starting, extended full
fifteen squares.
The total number Of Sons of Temperance
in the procession, could not have been much
less than $500, when the march over the
route was first commenced.
Almost every Division carried a banner or
some other appropriate device. We have
seldom before witnessed a better appointed
public parade of any kind. The music was
usually abundant, and generally Of an excel
lent character. Some Of the bands fairly ex-
celled themselves in the execution Of choice
airs.
There was a variety Of novel features in the
parade, the most conspicuous Of which wa;
a Well Of Cold Water, with a sweep and
bucket; IN Ark of Safety, and a fulLrigged
Ship. The well especially was a most hap
Ply idea.
The route was long one extending through
the northern, western, southern and easter
! parts of the city proper, Moyamensing, South
wark, Spring Garden, Northern Liberties AM
Kensington. It terminated at the Chimes
Museum, which place was selected for tn
concluding exercses-the orators Of the da
being David Paul Brown, and the Rev. job
Chambers.
The procession was witnessed by at lea
h fifty thousand interested spectators, VIII
d crowded the sidewalks, doors, and steps, an
.e filed the windows Of houses along the rout
L The best Of order was preserved by the pohG
g ahd nothing occurred, that we heard Of,

ton in honor of the glorious aus of Ter

SPIRIT OF THE ANNIVERSARIES.

The American Temperance Union, speaking
of the spirit of the Anniversaries Of the different
religious societies lately held in New York,
holds the following language:
aThe temperance operation is duly estma-
ted among them as giving a character and sta
biity to our great country of the first impor
lance. All say tous, Come, go with us, fel
without you we can do nothing. The Bible
Missionary, Tractand Sunday School enterprise
each find It's chief enemy in intemperance, anG

MR. EDIToR:-I learn that, at the
Democratic meeting at the Court HOUSE,
on the evening preceding the late cleo
tion, Mr.. Medill made violent attack on
me. as he said. for having charged him
with being "common drunkard" and
for haying circulated, at the hour of mid
night. libelous hand. bills to thai effect
and that he took occasion to referto my
relation with the Church and added that,
if a minister would 40 falsify and SANDER
an "innocent man" the members of that
Church were not to be believed.
wish TO say to Mr.. Medill that the
whole charge which he has seen ft to
prefer against me, is without foundation
in truth. for lneyer charged him directly
or indirectly with drunkenness noi did |
ever hear of the circular to which he re-
lerred. until some time the next day; nor

dill's claim to place on the, Temperance
ticket" in preference to Mr.. Eckley, who.
he said, had been seen drunk in Colum-

dill had never been seen drunk in Ian.
caster. Ithen merely replied, that knew
nothing Of Mr.. Eckley nor his habits,
and that knew but little Of Mr.. Medill
or his habits; but that knew the latter
had been treatedby men who were drunk
and drank with them. Mr.. Graybill ad-
ded that he knew Mr., Medill was in the
habit of taking drains, but he never got
drunk, There the conversation ended.
This, Think isthe whole conversation,
