the ear, on whose banks she used TO sport.
She sees the bleatng flocks, the waving
fields. "She starts But no, the chains
hold her fast" Hours roll away. She is
awakened by the taunts of the Tailor and
the shouts of the rabble. The hour of
noon arrives. She is led forth to execu-
ton. She ascends the scaffold with the
firmness of soldier and the meekness of
a woman The executioner lights the
pile, "then flies to kneel at every shrine
and seek. atonement for his crime. The
priest refuses to leave her side, but at last
consents. and the seething flames snatch
her from the sight" The Grafton closed
with beautiful eulogy on the character of
the maid, viewed rather as a martyr for
the cause of truth and suffering humanity,
than as is too usually the case of viewing
her conduct as actuated by fanaticism
nearly approaching insanity. The speak
er's manner on the stage, and his general
delivery is very pleasing, and Immediately
produces the favorable impression so neces-
sary to the good delivery of college ora
ton We could only wish the speak
er could have fully lost himself in his
piece, and thus have perfected really
fine Grafton.
7. The classical Grafton, by Edward
Dana of Rutland was entitled, "The ORR
gin of Myths. The speaker introduced
his subject by allusion to an early Christian
belief Of the overthrow of the gods of
Greece at the time of the cruciiXion of
Christ.
Greece had no superior in art and litera-
turc, we admire her on that account but
are astonished at her religious traditions
These have been explained in different
ways. Some thought they were invented
to control men by means of religion.
Others thought they were based on hstor-
zeal facts. lie thought this theory would
be revolving to the Greek Comparative
mythology regards all the myths and le-
gends and nursery tales as the offspring of
primative mans explanation of natural
phenomena Finally we are apt to over
look the spirit of true religion by which
the myths are pervaded.

name of statesmen was held sacred and

Cotton his high calling 1t is a hard task
TO md to-day true statesmen. As class

gain. Because this is so it is no reason
why honest men and men of ability should
shrink from the task. On the contrary II
