commencement Of Washington Col.
lege-Address Of Rev. NJ. ID. HOge, ID.
ID hefore the Literary Societies..

The distinguished orator made n compli
mentary allusion TO Rev. DR.. Duncan, who
addressed the societies at last commencement
He lDr. D. spoke as II was meet that he
should on THE duty of the hour" Things
which once interested us have lost their charm
now. We think less of the philosophy of The
sChoolmen and more of the logic of events
We can't forget these if we would. He pro
posed TO speak to-day OF
:" The dangers Of TIE hour.'
Danger has q certain zest 10 the young
and brave. He has no sympathy with the
croakings OF Cassandra; but at the same time
there are dangers against which he would
warn the young men Of the South. He would
not speak as a partisan or 4 sectionalist. He
is bound by his allegiance TO the United States,
and can truly say that he desires the prosperity
of NE ,ohoie country But al the same time he
must speak as Il Nirginian. He here made Il
beautiful apostrophe 10 Virginia, whom he
loved more tenderly in her woe than in tn g
days Of her proudest prosperity.
The first danger of which he spoke is that of
imagining that the attainment of high
standard of scholarship is not now needed ;
that our material interests press so heavily
upon us that we may properly neglect the
highest culture. The speaker contended that
Tee e10ct rereI'ie is true-that thorough scholar
ship is more needed in the South now than
ever before. The prestige that once belong ed
10 wealth aud birth among us has passed
away, and in the new order Of things arts
tocracy oil talent and merit viii rule. This is
now true even in the Old World. Henceforth
M"d VIII be master, and Education the. true
,.ghet Oh hobiiity. In the past, but few of our
Virginia men have devoted themselves TO let.
tiers, out have rather shone in the political
arena. Virginia has produced some of the
Heaest orators, statesmen, and divines,
mat the world ever saw, but they hnye
'oTnten tW iutte, and their fame will
pass away while that OF inferior. men
In the North Will live in their books. There i,
now greater danger than ever that this shall
DE so, since the young men of the South are so
