whose cool limpid water leaps out from the
rocks near the roadside, to refresh the tired
traveller. W. reached the summit about ear

noble and strong, were greatly fatigued in
the tedious ascent. But when they met the
cool breeze from the west-they seemed al
most to leap for joy and to realize in triumph
that they had passed through the heaviest OF
their evenings toll. And we too felt the ex-
h~ilarating influence of that blessed air. A
plain refreshing supper at a mountain house
cheered US on, and after many joltings, many

ME have made such arrangements with this
Seminary that we can greatly aid in the
education of young ladies of limited means, espe-
cially if they wish to. become teachers.
Il Our plan embodies these leading features {:
LIST. It pl opposes to educate such as are not as ad-
~equately provided for, if provided for at all, in any
other Female Institution in the South. I'd. 1t in
wolves no ,humiliating conditions. Sd. 1t is a self
sustaining plan. We are governed as follows, in
regard to applicants for aid. While VIC do not
confne ourselves to any class, we give the prefer
ence to, LIST, such as can he qualified in one year
to teach. I'd, such as will secure atleast one pay
ing pupil for~the institution. Sd, the daughters
of ministers of all denominations We require
full information as to thoir age, health, experience
in teaching, if any, disposition, manners, piety,
and the amount they can pay in advance on their
board aud tuition. We will credit a limited num-
Der first class. applicants, when necessary, with
the entire amount of their board and tuition.
Ii. We viii credit many other deserving sppli-
cants with all the expense of their tuition, except
twenty dollars a year. If they will pay their
board, and twenty dollars, annually, on their tu-
ition, and furnish their own books and materials
for ornamentals, we will indulge them for the
balance until they can teach and pay it. Board
is Sc per month, exclusive of washing. Such
young ladies as prefer It, can do their own wash
ing /; and then the expense Of board and tuition
to paid in. advance, would not be over $40 per
session of five months. The balance would be on
time. These loan pupils are entitled to all the
privileges of others in the Institution.
And III. We submit some of the considerations
which should influence all classes to patronize this
Institution: list. We have greatly reduced the
cost Of female education. We are educating a
class of young ladies that will be of great benefit
to all the other pupils. Sd. Our ability to edu-
cate this class will be in exact ratio to the patron
age we receive from others. 4th. We shall have
teachers of different denominations. 9Th. We
shall employ teachers competent to instruct in all
the branches, solid and ornamental, usually taught
