day for the monthly review of all the scholars
IN their various studies. We were present in
time to hear the first and second classes in
grammar after which came reading of select
poetry by number of pretty misses, and
beautifully did they read But that which
interested us mest was the reading of our
spirited lIstle sOtemporary, the Portfolio. by
those very amiable and handsome young Ia
dies, Miss Gray and Miss Rooney. This ad-
mirable Journal is edited by the young ladies
Of the Seminary, and all its contributors are
to be found within the walls of that institu-

enterprise, it gives to its readers all the latest

After listening to a learned article on the
Reformation in England" aud another on
the Commerce of Nations" together with
various other excellent compositions, both in
verse and prose, we said to ourself,

guette to give credit to other journals when
you clip from their columns The Portfolio
had several local items from us, for which it
failed to give us credit
Upon the whole, we have to say that the
entertainment afforded by this visit to the
Seminary, was well worthy the time be-
slowed, ard We can assure the parents and
friends interested in this institution that
they will be much gratifed by attending
these monthly reviews
