It IS blessed privailcge which man en-
Joys, to look back occasionally to bis ear
ker years, and review his actions, IS he
has passed through some of the changing
scenes of life. In memory he can recall
tile happy hours when bright visions Of
the future were glittcring before him.
And now that we are here assembled this
evening to discharge our allotted duties
on this, occasions, it bchooves us to reflect
for moment upon the way and manner
in which we have spent our time, and ask
Yourselves few serious questions Hare
we been diIigent and faithful Students
Have we acted the part of young men and
women eager in the pursuit of knowledge.
In such manner that in future life, we
may look back without feelings of remorso
and regret at hours misspents
We have met here day after day and
time after time, for mental and moral inn
provement. We have met with Eight
hearts and cheerful faces, and have doubt
less enjoyed ourselves as well rs could rea-
sonably have been expected. We have
met, if not IN the infancy of our natural
bodies at least, in the infancy of our
education and, for my part, trust We
have all we'll begun the work of life
time. We have felt, and endeavored to
manifest our willingness to abide by the
precepts of our Instructor; and to him we
now tender our heart felt thanks tor his
kindness and forbearance.
The time has now come when we are
about to separate eparate, perhaps, for
ever. But of the future we have no
knowledge, aud sufficient unto the day
| is the evil thereof" Therefore we VII
hope for the best, as we now breathe our
last-FAREwELL!

HoT HAsrE.-The late O'Connel is
said to have checked a panic on bank of
which he was director by making the
cashier roast the gold that was given in
exchange for notes. The poor Pats tho't
that they were coming money IN the bank
parlor, and that they couldn't break a
bank which could supply its customers
with gold like breakfast rolls. Besides, it
was rather uncomfortable to pick up hot
sovereigns, and the process of cashing
was necessarily Slow.

IMMoRTALITY.-The better men are,
the more terrible itwould make death if
there were no future state. For the bet
ter they arc the better they love God.-
Coed men have found the fountain of
good. They have experience of a much
better happiness in life than Others; and
therefore 1T must be more dreadful for
them to have their beings eternally ex-
tinct by death. Hence we may strongly
argue future state.

Tho love of ornament creeps slowly
but surely into the female heart. A girl
who twines the Lilly in her tresses and
looks at herself in the clear stream, will
soon wish that the lilly were fadeless, and
the stream mirror. We say, let the
vouno oirl seek to adorn her beauty, if
She be taught also to adorn her mind and
heart. that she may have wisdom 10 dl-
rect her love of ornament in due moder-

of a young fellow, who on Sunday, stroll
ed into church, and during the service,
was electrified and gratified by the spar

orbs leave the church alone, and embol-

low her, bis heart aching with rapture
He saw her look behind, and fancied she
cvinced some emotion at recognizing him.
He then quickened his pace and came up

gentleman to tell the rest in his own man
