And then followed what may justly be styled
the feature of the evening-the address by Col.
VIM. P. Johnston, late of Kentucky. Professor
| of History and Literature in Washington College.
1t would be impossible, within the narrow space
to which we are limited, to give any just abstract
of this beautiful production. It did not have the
advantage in its delivery of oratorical display, Or
even of a voice quite strong enough for the large
hall and crowded audience who were most atten-
tive listeners but all who were near enough to
hear it distinctly had the pleasure of listening to
| most chaste and beautifully written essay upon
the literary culture of woman.
After farewell chorus by the vocal class, led
by DR.. Brown, the Benediction was pronounced
by the Rev. Mr. Dudley, of Amelia.
Thus closed most interesting occasion for the
friends not only of this Seminary, but of sound
learning and careful literary and moral training
for the young. We wish to pay no vain OF
| fulsome compliments to Miss Baldwin, but
we feel constrained to say that she has con-
| tributed her full share to the advancement and
| elevation of the standard of female education
| in Virginia and the South, and in connection
with her excellent associate, Miss Agnes Nc
McClung, has established refined and delight
| full home school for the daughters committed to
their Joint care and guardianship. And, in say
| ina this, we are not unmndful that Stanton IS
| fortunate in the possession of two other highly
! successful and admirable female schools, which
are the Just pride of their patrons and OF the good
! people generally in this our favored community.
| If our Baptist friends will now only purchase
Kalorama and establish, as they can, tirst-rate
Seminary on those almost classic grounds, then
Stanton will be call right on the female school
question"

the desire of children for novelty. Half tn
