the walls, the array of bright faces near the plat

who, when we arrived, was reading q cOmDo

We regret much that our space will not allow
of the extended criticism Of which the essays
| and recitations presented we're richly deserving
We were unfortunate, too, in getting TO the schOo
| lust in time to miss the first four pieces. Oul
| first Impressions, therefore, we're derived from
the recitation by Miss l.. r., of an amusing
| sketch wherein were described the woes o
Mr.. Peter Longpocket's single and married life
| The quiet humorous manner in which the piec'
was delivered was just whatit demanded, and gav'
| to it its full effect. Miss f. BIS recitation
| of the plsintive poem entitled " Three Grains o.
| Corn - was excellent as also were the two com
| positions entitled "Act Well your Part" an'
1.-THE Portrait of Time" The next thing was
| literary treat in the shape of extracts from tn
| journals of three young ladies of the school. Tn
most noticeable of these was a leaf from
the journal of Miss i. c., wherein she de
scIibed a sunset which she had beheld OF
| the Magnolia covered hill of glorious, heroi
| Vicksburg.n The earnest love with which thi
young lady told of the scene showed that he
heart had been in her pen. The extracts fro1
tie journals of Misses +. and B., which
after some compositions and recitation, sue
ceeded, possessed great deal of interest to a.
present. The first of the two gave rs an elaborat
disqulsition upon the various excellencies Of tn
female portion of creation, and wound up he
panegyfic with ''God bless the Girls.n "Amen,
said we, and listened to the next. What was on
surprise to hear Mics r. start with the assertiO
that great wrong needed righting, that a larg
| class Of the community had too long sntiere
| under an undeserved ban-tbat, in short, the girl
| had been too long placed too high above the boys
| | and that instead OF repeating ncl Alenu
sentiment, she would say, "GOd bles
the boys!" With this noble invocation, echoe
, | need we say how heartily by that portion of III
| sudience who we're benefited by 1t, for q text
the young lady went on to say that she mean
| "God bless the 1rOrking boysp'-that Cam
street was no place for able-bodled young me
during business hours that life had higher Objet
| than tying a cravat according to latest style
and in short, delivered so charmingly such
, useful lecture, such pretty sermon, that we 81
! | sure that the young men present hardly kne
! whether they were most benefited or mo-
pleased by it.
After some more recitations and compos
J tions, which our lack of space and not the
! want of interest compels US to pass over, W
come 10 a composition by Miss G., entitle
+: " Heavens last, best gift to man" which ce
tainly was the gem of the whole collection. A
serting that according TO Holy Writ woma
was Gods best gift to man, Miss 9. proceeded
: discuss whether she was His best gift II
