The Kenosha telegraph. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1860-1888, 1872-05-16

ed by The Rev. DR.. Everhart. We haC
the privilege of being present at til
evening service on Tuesday and shall no
easily forget the scene. The "Altar Chap
. ell is perfect little gem, it is appropri
lately fitted up with all the symbols ant
furniture of cathedral chapel. On eli
Their side are ranged six long, comforta
bic benches with sloping backs beauti-
fully vanished and finished.
The Altar stands as usual, upon rails
ed dais.and is covered with plain white
altar cloth edged with yellow; over the
super altar various texts of Scripture are
emblazoned In front and little to The
left is placed the lectern,and on the right
of the altar is the bishops chair which is
partially screened by shrubs and plants.
Precisely at half-past four the bell rings,
and presently the melodeon gives out q
prelude and the soft voices of the choir
are heard in the distance chanting the
Professional Hymn for Ascensiontide:
"Thou art gone up on high" slowly
they approac h until the chapel entrance
is reached, when two and two they pro-
coed along the centre aisle to the chancel
choir followed by Rev. DR.. Everhart, and
on this occasion also, by Rev Fl. NJ. Beers
D. D. Rector of All Saints, Milwaukee. The
effect produced as the procession entered
and filed along to their respective seats
was striking and very impressive indeed.
DR.. Everhart read the service according
to the beautiful liturgy Of the Episcopal
Church, the lesson for the day being read
by Rev. DR.. Beers. AT the close the pro-
cession reformed and sang the Recessional
Hymn, LEAD IDLY light" ON retiring
from the chapel. We had the pleasure of
walking over the Hall with DR.. Everhart,
and can express our warmest common
dation at all we saw. We could hardly
realize the fact that we were in an educa-
reigne6 around" it was refreshing scene
and worthy of contemplation. How little
credit we ara disposed to give to those
who train up and educate the rising gen
Grafton yet what position more response
BILE? what office more sacred? It is evil
IDENTIFY with such feelings as these that
the faculty Of Kemper Hall daily incul-
cate the grand principles Of education
upon the minds of those committed to
their charge. Ia this institution there is
no attempt at unnecessary show or vain
display; everything is in accordance with
cleanliness and propriety- plain and
substantial. Whatever is done is well
done. No trouble is saved, no exertion
spared, to make the Hall q homo; and
thus its inmates regard it. As we said
before Kemper Hall is pleasantly situated,
enclosed with fence amid towering trees
AID grassy lawns sloping down to the
shores of Lake Michigan-all inviting to
the eye, and leading ones thoughts ire
sistably to that better land where there is
no night but where the sun forever shines.
1t IS impossible within tbs limits Of a |
brief article to do justice to such al in
stitutiOn, VIC can only hold IL forth to the
public gaze, ana recommend it as a faith
full lima Mater, to all who are privileged
to enter its portals. Dr. Everhart's name
is too well known to require any fulsome
notice, ana so arc his assistants, " By their
fruits We shall know them" is the highest
compliment We can pay them
Friday, the s4th inst. Will be Commem-
Grafton Day at Kemper Hall, when apro-
pirate exercises will be held and the sa
cred rite Of contirmationsadmin by
the Right Rev. DR.. Armitage, Bishop Of
Wisconsin. A large number of the friends !
and patrons Of this favorite establishment
will doubtless attend, and by their pres
once lend additional interest to The special
features of the occasion.

Society in Onontagon in 1854 was not so
select as it was year or two afterward. At
a hop one evening at the Bigelow House an
aspiring youth of the place invited one of the
villages tairest daughters to dance quad
rifle, and while on the floor with his partner
waiting for the sets to form, the following
conversation occurred, which will illus
