5. Appropriations of music by j. NJ.
Mulcahey of Middlebury.
The different kinds of music are 40 vari-
Gus as the different passions of the heart.
Each type presses certain fcelings--there is
the merry song of the dance, and the riot
Gus Bacchanallan strain, each has it's own
| sphere. But 1t is in its sacred character
that music asserts itself most molly, ex-
pressing as perfectly as possible love to the
creator. There are two classes that have
no proprlety. The first have more music
than religion, the second more religion than
music. The first carry their music to the
extreme-it Is magnificent but is it appro-
pirate for divine worship? Its assoca-
tions leads the mind from divine thoughts
The other class go to the other extreme
rob music of all its dignity and praising
God in intolerable strains. The "Te Deum"
is the type of music that seemed most APP
propriate seeming to be an echo from the
heavenly choir.
6. The characters of our greatest novel
list, by N. II. Munsill of Bristol.
We may regard characters either as true
beings or creations of the brain. The au-
thor's success depends on the appropriative-
ness given to his characters. Charles
Dickens stands frat among writers of
fiction. None could better paint all phases
of actual life than he. The lowest and
highest, the prison, the workhouse, wealth,
honor-sll arc accurately dtlineated. The
speaker dwelt on the character OF Pagan in
Oliver Twiet, then turned to the plclsanter
characters OF "pickwick Papers The
majority who read are unable fully to ap-
preciate the witticisms, drolleries and in.
congruilies with which every page abound.
The character of David Coppeifield pre-
sented the highest type of true manhood
The characters of Dickens are sh allowed
out in true pictures. They follow us, di-
rect errors path, come back agaia and
again.

low.
He compared the unrealitiee Of n novel
to the imaginations of dream. He CON-
mended the writings of CHARLES Kingsley
as faithful pictures of the life and manners
OF the age of which he wrote, culogized

8. Naturalization of Immigrants, by j.
r. Newell OF Cedarvilc, Kan.
Naturalization of immigrants increases
and adds to the prosperity of our country,
Where, however, new colonies arc organ
lied this is not 50 easily affected. Often
times ii is necessary to civilze az well as
naturalize, making naturalization very OBJ
jeclionable.
We are compelled to defer the abstracts
of the orations of the Messrs. A. I. Staple
ton, w. i. Twitchel and B. NJ. Will, the
poem of G. B. Warner, and the colloquy
of ]. NJ. Hail, until our next issue, be-
cause of the late hour at which they were
received.
We must especially mention the ora,ions
of Stimson, Stapleton and Twitchel and
the poem of Warner, which was fund of
witicsms, going TO the sublime and thence
to The sublimely ridiculous. AS usual, the
Sophomores were on hand. Their brains,
or rather their lack Of them, produced the
Lancet, which was circulated after the
manner of ye ancients.
