the varied coloring Of the flowers, their soft
fragrance, and the tasteful manner in which
the decorations had been disposed, added not
a little to the beauty OF the scene, to which
hundreds of smiling, youthful faces lent an ami
mated background.
The exercises were opened by the singing OF
the hymn, "What shall the harvest be" by the
children Of the school, At the head Of the
central aisle was a melodeon, played by Miss
Mary Z. Mood, who led the singing. She was
followed by the children with a correctness
and sweetness which reflected credit upon the
fine Voices and careful training of the youthful
singers. Various hymns were sung at inter-
walls during the exercises, and the young vo-
calists did not fail to improve the fayora-
BILE impression which their first effort had
made. A prayer was next offered up by the
Rev, ". P. Mouzo IN, after which the assistant
usstor, B. D. Smart, introduced the speakers,
and first Master Hervey N. Cleckley, who de-
livered the salutatory address. Master Wilson
Miller then spoke on the subject LOOK Alott,'

The Cherokee Rose.

a rose ought to be beautiful which has
such charming romance connected with
its name:
A young Indian chief of the Seminole
tribe was taken prisoner by his enemies,
the Cherokces, and doomed to torture, but
fell so seriously i'll that it became necessa.
ry to wait for his restoration to health be-
fore committing him to fire. And, as he
lay Frustrated by disease in the cabin of
the Cherokee warrior, the daughter of the
latter a young, dark faced maid, was his
nurse. She fell in love with the young
chiettain, and wishing to save his life urg
ed him to escape. But he would not do
so unless she would flee with him. She
consented. Yet before they had gone far,
impelled by soft regret at leaving home,
she asked permission of her lover to return
for the purpose of bearing away some me-
mento of it. So, retracing her footsteps,
she broke a sprig from white rose which
climbed up the pole of her fathers tent, and
preserving it during her flight through the
wilderness, planted it by the door of her
new home in the land of the Seminoles.-
And from that day this beautiful flower
has always been known throughout the
Southern States by the name Of the Oh
kee rose.

The Terrible Heat.

Accounts of unusual heat reach us from
abroad, and it is plain that we are not the
only sufferers from n most exceptional sea-
son. The Bombay Gazette say that the
thermometer has reached 115 degrees in
the shade at Allahabad, and 116 degrees
in the shade ut Hyderabad. At the latter
place many deaths had taken place from
the heat among The Sixteenth Lancers. In
the Deccan the wells were drying up fast
and the cattle dying, and water famine
was threatened to add to the general suffer
ing. Fortunately the monsoon was close at
hand, when relief could be depended upon.
In Rome the heat has been excessive,
and there was another lively scene in the
Chamber of Deputies there on the 9th
ult., which is imputed by the Press to the
cause. Several members came with an
ace Of getting to blows, and Signor Sella
said that would be absolutely impossible
to continue the sittings another year, after
the 1st Of May. Since the great heat is so
general, the question as to how far it is to
be ascribed to the coming comet" takes
an increased significance, and there are
many who will rejoice when, whether for
veal or woe, the 18th Of August has pass
