bad tempered woman carries wretched-
ness and woe into her household; but
one with sweet temper is like living
spring of pure, cool water-a charm and
a blessing always and forever.
The compositions were written in an
affectionate style. There was no at
tempt at display, nor stringing togeth-
er of words without meaning. They
seemed to US from their construction to
be really original, and to have been
written by the girls themselves-not
dictated by friends or copied from pa
| pers or books.
Some of the Rotations were delivered
with rare tact and and effect. Without
| discriminating, we think we will be par
doned for saying that Over the Hills to
the Poor House, and 'fPrayer and Po-
tatOes" could not have been better de-
livered,
Altogether the examination was very
creditable affair = creditable alike to
teachers and pupils, and we only wish
that all the friends of education in all
this region of country could have been
present to witness it. The people of
ROgersville arc and have a right to be
proud of their school. They are graft
fed to find that it has started out on its
new career with such 1attering pros
poets. During the session just closed
about one hundred girls have been in at
tendance. Excellent health has prevail
ed. No serious case of sickness has
been in the scboOl-p1enty of measles at
one time, which the girls would have
had if they had been at home, for the
measles spread themselves all over East
Tennessee last spring And then, the
careful, watchful attention of the ladies
of the College household over them made
everything as safe as could possibly be.
All things considered we take it for
granted that this school is an established
fact. That it will GO on under its pres
ent ownership and management we have
not doubt, and the extent of its pros
perity and usefulness for the future is
matter entirely under the control of this
community and the great Church to
which the property belongs. The peo-
pie of Hawkins county are deeply inter
ested in the prosperity of this school.
AS it prospers and increases in patronage
and usefulness, we, as "a community,
gain in material means, and advance in
intelligence, refinement and virtue. 1t
is, therefore, to be hoped that these peo-
pie will hereafter be united; that no diff
fePeucn Of Oninidu &c IN ToOIitics religion
or anything else will ever be allowed to
injure the College. We should now act
as sensible, prudent people, and make a
strong pull, long pull, and pull alto
gether, and if we only do this there will
be two hundred girls here next year.

When Brooklyn woman wants new
dress and feels little delicate about
asking for it direct, she presents her
husband with nice beeded shaving
paper-case, filled with tissue from an old
paper pattern. The first time he uses it
he noticed the little round holes in the
paper and naturally inquired the reason
which gives her the chance to say with
regretful sigh that it's onlya ''Domes-
tic Paper Fashion" that she would have
used some time ago but for the reason
that she saw he was poor just then and
felt as if she ought to economic to help
him along. Noble self-denial like this
usually fetches things.

The Rogersville Female College

Upon application for the names of the
school girls who took part in the public
exercises at this institution on Wednes-
day and Thursday evenings of last week,
we find that more than thirty of them
appeared with Rotations, original COM
positions and music on each evening.
We intended publishing the programme
of each evening, and also of Friday
morning, but find the matter would Oc-
cupy more space than we are allowed in
the GAZETTE.
On Tuesday the classes in spelling, &C.,
taught by Miss Rankin; the classes in
primary geography, primary arithmetic,
&c, taught by Miss Moore; the classes
in intermediate arithmetic, history and
fourth reader, by Mrs. Walker, and the
classes in English grammar, taught by
Prof. Wilson, were examined. The chill
dren and young ladies all showed by the
prompt and intelligent manner in which
they answered the questions that they
had been learning their lessons well dur
ing the session.
On Wednesday a class in arithmetic,
one in 2nd algebra, and one in hygiene,
taught by Mrs. Walker; class in Latin
primer, by Miss Rankin; class IN list
algebra, by Miss Moore, and classes in
complete arithmetic, mental philosophy
and Latin, by Prof. Wilson, were exam
ined and gave high satisfaction.
On Thursday class in algebra, com
plete, taught by Prof Wilson; class in
moral science, by Mrs. Walker, and
classes in geometry, trigonometry and
French, by Prof. Wilson, were examined
and did exceedingly well.
On Friday morning seven young la
dies, who received distinctions for com
plotting courses in Mathematics, French,
Latin and Mental Sciences, read compo-
sitions in the following order:
Miss Maggie Anderson, Bristol, Tenn.
Miss Mary Fulkerson, Miss Kate Arm
strong, Miss Fannie Walker, Miss Nellie
Walker, Rogersville; Miss Jennie Brab-
son, Sewer county, and Miss Tessie Nc
Farland, Jefferson county.
In presenting the certificates to these
young ladies the President made a sea-
sible, affectiOnate little address to them.
We have scarcely ever seen seven more
intelligent, handsome, sweet girls groop-
ed on any platform than those of Mr..
Wilson's, which came so timidly to the
front on this occasion. We hope their
influence for good may be great in the
world. III we had the right to say .
word to them it would be this: In cul-
tivating the mind you have done well;
but don't forget to cultivate the heart
and to guard and control the temper. A
