The selections Of music and recitations
were good, and the original productions
equal to any presented at former exhi.
tions. The orations Of Ollie Bryson and
W. H. johnson, Of Louisiana, deserve
especial notice for their originality, the
study expended on them, end the style Of
delivery. All, however, performed their
parts in pra;scworthy manner; but We
can not forbear mentioning the reading Of
"The Bells" by little Miss Jeanie Morri.
son, than which there is no more difficult
piece to recite. When We saw it an.
nounccd in the programme, we thought
her voice not round and deep and full
enough for the task, but when the silvcry
intonations of her voice poured forth so
sweet and clear with tho "ringing Of the
bells-b.e.l.l.s-b.e-l-l-s," till the dy.
ing echoes fell upon the ear like the faint
distant music Of some far of sphere, We
felt that its sweetness fully compensated
for the deep, full, mellow iutouations we
before believed indispensable in its read.

Taking them, all in all, the scholars Of
both schools have much to be proud o.
and We say to them, PRESS ON! You
who leave the "walls Of learning" to re.
turn no more, have life of labor before
you. Your work is not 6nished-it is
only begun. A duty lies before you,
Will that duty DO performed? =? Is tile
course you intend to pursue marked out !
Nothing, will be accomplised unless you
set mark and strive to reach it, As the
Christians faith penetratss the doubtings
Of life, beholdiug brightness and happi.
ness beyond its trials, as patiently he runs
tho race before him, so If you would &C.
compllsh good and attain . degree Of
success, like the man Of God set your
mark and strive 10 attain it, remembering
that Christianity y the light house thai
guards of the coast Of danger, aud the
ray that lights the soul to all the genuine
