Wedaes9ay Eesaing-The Literary
Societies we're fairly represented. The
theme Of the Orator, Mr. Henson, was the
necessity of fail application of the VIII
to auy pursuit in life 10 order to ensure
success. The Poet, Mr. Thurber, is a gray
haired, hard-seuse gentleman, Who would
hardly be selected from a crowd a. sriter
Of a satiriesi article on the Dignity Of
Man. We would Ike to read a; leisure
those productions, which were too little
appreciated amid the heat aud excitement
Of commencement EIercises-especial!y
as about balf tie audience seemed to be
present only for fashions sake, aud not
only did not listen themselves, but seri-
ously annoyed the speakers aud those who
desired to listen, by their whispers, loud
talking, and changes of position. |, Is
true that many Of these perf1rmsucss seem
"too iong"-bu, none are obliged to be
presen,-apd sll who do attend are bound
By law aud every consideration Of eqni'y
to hear respectfully or to rs,ire silently a.
some fitting season.
