,Philosophica, Plan.


In this Seminary We have been led to adopt
the Philosophic plan of each Professor and his
class devoting their whole time and energies to
a single study, ,untiicompieted We have been
led To this by seeing many students
disheartened, or rendered superficial, by being
required 10 carry forward three or four studies
at the same time. Then each Professor was re-
quired TO hear so many recttatlons and the time
was SO broken up that it was out of thequestion
10 give each subject and each pupil the required
attention. In Introducing this method, We ex-
pected To be able to make our classes much more
thorough and practical but not only are We
succeeding beyond our expectations IN this per-
ticular, but we are accomplishing great deal
more in the same time, well as doing is much
oetter. IN graduating, one-thlrd OF the time
alton soevery one. After Ihorouxhly mastering
the Common Branches, students complete the
scientific Coursein two. instead of three years,
as heretofore required; devoting three months
10 Algebra, two 20 Geometry and two TO Chem
istry, and one month each ~ all the other stud
les. Our course Is null and practical, and the
time allotted to each study enable us to do vast
ly more with IT than is usually done. We eX-
PLAIN this on the principle, that men show the
greatest results IN gwen time, when, they de-
vote their whole energies TO one thing. II has
been claimed that studen Is devoting theirwhole
time TO one study would become weary, but we
lind instead of this being true that the student
having an opportunity TO concentrate his whole
energies upon one subject, succeeds, and as
result OF MS success. AN enthusiasm is awaken
ed, before unknown in schools; the student be-
comes genuine Philosopher in search OF truth.
New Studies are commenced monthly, al winch
desired. Glasses for Fall and early NInieI, VIII
be formed september Eth. October i<ih, aud
November 3tiI. A class will coInHlence AigeUra,
November 9Th, and go regularly through With
Mathematics. BY our pan we propose 20 make
lhis a more thorough ciass than any ever con-
ducted on Tie old system. Those wishing to
enter IL, would do well 10 engage rooms soon.-
The department. Of Music and Painting, are
now Offering the very best advantages.
The Ladies, Ornamental Course is short but the
most practical and useful All is left out that
will mol De ,practiced in wonlan's appropriate
sphere. And they are made so thorough, and
such q love of science is induced that they will
carry it into and adorn every department fife;
and not as istoo frequently done, lay it all aside
as soon as they graduate. ). fNt 80 Sd -

About Two Little Girls.

Nellie is such kind-hearted, unself-
ish little girl that everybody loves her
She seems to be always thinking of what
she can do to make others happy.

jumps Nellie, saying, am look for
them" and runs up stairs, down to the
kitchen, into the parlor, and all over
the house, until she finds them. Then
grandma gives her a loving look, and
very likely kiss, and, Thank Won.

When father comes home, he finds his
dressing-gown and slippers all ready for
him by the CRATE. Then he sends low
ing glance to Nellie, andh sometimes
says, 81 know the little fairy whe an
ticipates my coming 81
When Willie is fretful, or teasing his
mother while she is busy, Nellie knows
at once what to do. She gets one of her
pretty picture-bo0ks, seats herselfinh her
rocking-chair, takes Willie on her lap,
and amuses him, until mother has fin
ished what she was doing, and Willie
has become pleased and forgotten his
unhappiness. Then mother looks APP
,previngly upon her, and says, siThat's
right, my dear little daughter. u 81 Q

up; and for that too she gets smile of
love, and "thank you, darling. -,.,.,

into the kitchen. She is always ready

you, Miss Nellie,n she hears from them.
And so she goes through the day, ex-
changing loving acts for loving looks
and words, and is as happy as little
girl can be.
Not so with her sister, Bella. She is
very selfish. No one ever hears of her
Offering to do any of the kind deeds that
make Nellie's days SO bright. IF asked
to do anything, she always has head
ache, or her foot hurts her, or she is
busy, or she has some other excuse for
not doing it. She seldom receives a
loving or approving look. Her father
never thinks of calling her his little
fairy, nor her aunt her little darling.
All are kind to her, but they cannot
love her as they do Nellie.
The servants do not like to see her in
the kitchen. After she has gone out,
they say: Wish Miss Bella would stay
in the parlor. ~"
Nellie scatters seeds and gathers flow
ers all the day, while Bella wounds and
is wounded by thorns.
Of course, Bella is very unhappy. She
always looks either cross or sad. A self
ish child cannot but be unhappy. But it
is her own fault. If she would do as
Nellie does, she would be happy, as Nell

A Statue Of fLiacaln.

DIR. Holland writes as fello ws in a pri-
yate letter from Rome:
What do you suppose I went arst t..

Coliseum, but Randolph Roger, colos-
sal statut of Abraham Lincoln Itwas
unveiled to the public the morningafter
my arrival and was the first to pay il
attention and homage. 1t is, without
any qualification, grand success, and
the city of Philadelphia, for which il
has been modelled, will. after the Munich
founders have translated it into bronze.
possess in it the finest representation
extant of the honored and lamented
subject. The figure of Mr.. Lincoln was
not an elegant one, and the marvel of a
single fictitious grace, it presents Mr.
Lincoln to the eye as grand man. The
figure is seated in achair, over which il
thrown a cloak, and this cloak is the
only accessory" In one hand it hold
an open scroll representing the emanci-
patton proclamation, and in the other
pen. There is nothing else but plain
Abraham Lincoln in his frock-cont and
trowsers. The face, deeply lined, earn
est, solemn, sad, tells its own story of
the struggle through which he had been
brought to the crowning act of his life.
and his sense of the Importance of the
AIT itself. Such was the effect of the
sestut upon one lady whom I noticed
in the little gathering of the Americans
present, that she wept during all the
time She remained in the apartment:
yet was assured that she had never
seen Mr.. Lincoln in herlife, and of fcourse
was touched by no personal associations.
There Is but one voice among all the
Americans here in regard to this statue.
and that's that it ills their nobIest ideal
of the man it represents, and does the
highest honor to the cunning. hand
and true genius that fashionedit.

The tea plant is in successful, ,cultiva-
tion some ten miles from Knoxville, on
the farm of Captain James Campbell,
where il has been grown for at.out ten
years. It is said that East Tennessee tea
drinkers can easily raise their ewn tea
with very little cost or trouble. The
plant is a deep evergreen. shrub, and
grows about five feet high. 1t is hardy,
and needs no protection from frosts.
It bears an abundant crop, with beauti-
full fragrant flowers, in October. The
following season it maruresa q seed, some
what resembling the seed of our native
hazel, and grows up readily. The vigor
and hardness. of this plant, and its adap-
tation to the climate. have been tested.
The tea produced from the leaves OF the
plant very much resembles in flavor the
tea from Young HysOn plant.

One day golden haired child, who
lived where no trees or flowers grew was
gazing wistfully through the open gate
of beautiful park, when a gardener
chanced to throw out an armful of dry
cuttings. Among them the little girl
discovered one witha tiny bud just
starting. - - < ~ ~ 81 81

to herself, and dreaming of wide cool
boughs, and fiuttering leaves. she car

the darksome area. Day after day she
watched and tended it, and when, 10y
and by, another bud started, she knew
that the slip had taken root. ID.
Years p ssed; and the lowly home
gave place 10 a pleasant mansion and
the narrow area awidened in spacious

the fairest and dearest of them all was
the one she had SO tender1y nourished.
No other tree, she thought, csst such a
cool, soft shade; in no other boughs did
the birds sing so sweetly. IS
But while the tree lived and flourish

and sadder grew the light in her blue
eyes, till by and by Gods angel ssuched
them with dreamless sleep. Loving
hands crowned the white brow with
myrtle, and under the branches she had
loved, laid her tenderiy to rest.
But from that hour, rs if in sorrow for
the one that had tendedit, the stately tree
began TO droop. Lower and lower bent
the sad branches, lower and lower, until
they creased the daisy mound that COW
