Ny HEARERS: 1t devolves upon ME,
on the present occasion, to address you in
behalf of cause, which in its practical
Importance, is superior perhaps, to any to-
pic, to the consideration of which we could
address ourselves; cause which, in its
intimate relation to whatever most nearly
cJncers our individual well being, and our
social welfare, our national prosperity and
our temporal and eternal destinies, should
more completely than any other, save Re
isiOn. to point you to the duties of which,
It Is not my province, challenge the i'm
partial, intelligent and discriminating at
tention of every member Of the commu-
nifty
1t becomes my duty, a pleasant one L
assure you, to the due performance ofwhich
deeply regret l cannot bring abilities
more fully commensurate with the charac-
ter Of my theme, to set before You in the
light of truth and reason, the actual neces-
sity for the requirement of a liberal and
refined education, the benefits to be deri-
we'd from such requirement and the rela-
tive duties of the teacher and the scholar
These things shall humbly endeavor
to do, bringing to the accomplishment of
my task, no enlarged experience as pub
lie speaker, no very intimate knowledge of
men or books, buta an earnest desire to serve
my fellow beings, and point if possible,
some of those to whom my words shall
come, to path, which, if rightly followed,
will lead them to the possession of these
priceless treasures,-a well stored mind
and a proper understandingof the use and
value of this life; the first, store house,
from which, daily can be drawn inexhaus-
tble riches, the second blessing, whose
worth no man can tell.
Pausing here to contemplate the i'm
measurable advantages, by which we of the
18th Century are surrounded, we survey
a boundless field of labor, over which are
scattered innumerable implements, the
proper use of which cannot fail to eventu-
ate in bounteous harvest of light and
knowledge. And it is but natural, while
DWELLING upon the rich prospect before US,
that our memories should revert to the
past, and we be led to consider the
contrast between our own highly favored
condition, and the meagre and scanty
Provisions, which were vouchsafed by
Heaven to those, who, not yet Century
since, were battling for the liberties which
we now enjoy,-and the perpetuation of
which, is so intimately connected with,
and absolutely dependant upon the proper
use of the means to EDUCATE which are
furnished US.
In those times that tried mems souls,
those hours of gloom and years of painful
tollsOme watching-through that long and
dreary period of intense anxiety and wea-
nsOme privation, it was not given to the
ilslng generation to gather peacefully a

listen unmolested to the teachings of her
Vfacles. Too often the student was arous-

CURIOUS FREAK OF SILK WoRMs--t

CURIOUS FREAK OF SILK WoRMs--A
curious freak is said to have occurred in
the silk factory Of M-Garibaldi, at Gre
mona. 1t is positively stated that, in that
factory, aquantity of silk worms, instead
of forming the cocoon, as usual, actually
wove kind of silk ribbon, of the breadth
of an inch, and the length of upwards of
twelve feet. In the course of the inquI
ries made into this matter, it has been elic-
tied that similar phenomenon, only on
much larger scale, took place at Alessan-
dria, in 1886, in the silk factory of DIR.
Grillo, where the silk worms wove rib
bon two inches broad and upwards of sixty
feet in length, part of which is now pre-
served in the Museum of Natural History
at Turin.
