1t affords us great pleasure to notice the deep
interest that is being manifested in Virginia in
the cause of education. We look forward to
the time when we shall see fine graded sch ools
established in every neighborhood in our beau
tiful Valley, and every child have impaired the
rudiments of goo English education at least.
There is nothing that gives more encouraging
promise for the future, than the universal con-
Germ shown in the procurement of good school
facilities. The school house is the hope of the
nation-the palladium of the liberties of the
people, and with the development of our pres
ent school system, we may look forward to a
bright and cheering future for our beloved old
commonwealth.

column and half valedictory to the school
girls, in his usual inimitable style. Almost
every female Institute in the State comes in
for its share of the final treat, the Augusta
Seminary and Virginia Institute being spoken
Of as follows:
ssThey have gone from Staunton's far-famed
Augusta Seminary and majesticaly stately,
grandly gentle Miss Baldwin, whose well-earn-
ed celebrity is bounded only by the confines OF
a hemisphere, sweeps the valedctory mlsts
from her spectacles with one hand, and with
the other dashes off the catalogues which are
to bring her still larger harvest next fall
They are gone too from Staunton's rose-em-
powered Virginia Institute; and scholarly,
polished and interchangeable President Phillips,
wanders through his airy halls, fit figure for
the browning of a monument to disconsola-
tion.''
Continuing, he talks thusly to the girls:
''Young and thoughtless as you may be now,
you will then sway the sceptre of absolute So
cial dominion in fourteen Of the noblest States
upon the continent. You will dictate the NOR
ais and the manners, will lead the fashions
set the examples and establish the customs Of
half the western world. From where the blue
Patapsco's billowy dash commingles with the
Potomac's majestic roll to where the sun-lt
Rio Grande glides, through golden sands, on
onward to the sea-from where the great Mis-
souri, rushes in resistless pride and turbld
grandeur, amid vast forests, fertile plains and
lovely hills; to where the storm-swept harp OF
the Mexican gulf thunders its giant anthem
along the evergreen shores of the land OF flow
