The graduates were Miss Peak, of Medina,
and Miss Wilson, of Kirkland.
Miss Wilson's composition upon eTalking
and Doing was a very good one, urging the
necessity of more workers and less idlers in
the world. There is vast difference in our
childish talkings and more mature doings,
and we should cultivate the spirit Of those
who had not been afraid to put their hands
to the plough in the cause OF truth and
right.
Miss Peaks essay upon Writing LIFE
was closely listened to, as it deserved. She
spoke Of the inner life--the heart, and ar
gued that but very few Inen have had their
true lives written. Their outside deeds and
words have been ehronieled, but not the
"VEl-i-s-- - H. laaa-f ard snnl We have
biographies " in abundance. but nothing Of
such heart history as that which the poor
tinker of Bedford has told US of himself We
read the sayings and doings of Socrates, but
if we could touch some secret spring and lay
bare all the workings Of his great heart, what
an untold mine of wealth we should find.
Each one of us, said she, is writing our own
lives. Some of the passages are clear and
eloquent, while some are dark with evil
Some Of the evil passages we diligently
erase, some we merely draw mark across,
leaving the letters visible, and some we
make no attempt to blot out.
ADDRESS BY REV, F. I. BROWN.
This address had been prepared for another
occasion, and was delivered by Mr.. Brown
only in accordance with an urgent request
at the last hour, Mr.. Sanford stating that
they had been disappointed in an address
which had been prepared expressly for the
occasion. aH a.
Mr.. Brown, before commencing, remarked
that he was in the position of Dr. Holmes
when he was called upon to FIJI the place of
Rufus Choate at Dartmouth College, who
said he was going, not to ''fll the place, bat
to rattle round a little" The address had
been prepared for, and delivered at Kenyon
College a year ago, and Eas not especially
designed for young ladies, but they must
listen for their brothers, or other young
friends perhaps as dear to them as their
brothers. rrsl .r-ll ll-rl-s zHF a
He spoke first of the present times, and
said that they are now all alive. It has been
50 in the history of the world that the times
were dead. or only half alive, and ne liye
periods were exceptions; but at this-time
our country and the world at large is en-
phaticaIly all aliUs. To speak Of life itself
was not so easy as to speak Of the phenOmena
of life. The times are now full Of eyes to
see all that is transpiring, and as we have all
lived life-times in moment, seeing things
that others could not see, and hearing things
others could not hear, and as at such times
We were all alivs, so now the world is all
alive, and have eyes before and behind =
eyes that look into everything with the most
searching scrutiny, into the wonders of ma
turs evsFywHere. The times have ears to
hear the notes Of joy, fear Of. sorroR all over
the world and they have hearts to feel all
things that occur. li aiial saT1i 80
? Another Characteristic sf our times is their
aetigity They are all awake. The men
that move not with the rapid move OF the
times, are "old fogies', and "conserTative."
The only things that do stand unmoyed ara
the truths of the Bible those are immova-
bic. But in all things else the times are
alive and active. The worlds history is he
| ing rewritten and fe-adjuiteda knowledge
| Is being Accumulated In al degrees Of science.
sOaetive have been the times that what were
considered truths years ago, are now known
to be faIsshoods, andWhat were once sacred
facts in science are now but rubbish. The
leading reforms Of to-day, and those reforms
which we're hardly thought of then, although
the need of them existed, are nowthe fecog-
nized reforms Of to-day. Such is the rapid
activity in science that il Is almost like pre-
sumption to take the standard books Of ten
years ago, and cali them old familiar
friends. ..-s.f7 ace rt
