 sThe Scripture in Literature."-Rev
 Prof. s. F. Frost, A. M., Principal of Amenia Seminary, spent Sabbath last, 18th inst, with Rev. J. G. Oakley of Lakeville. He preached a most excellent sermon in the morning on Reverence" In the even ing he delivered to large audience his lec- ture on ''The Scriptures in Literature. , The professor recited 8 number of very striking selections from the greatest poets who have written in the English language, and then read the passages of Scripture whence the poet drew his inspiration and principal thought. The lecture was thor oughly studied production, and was deliv- cred in very pleasing manner. It was a treat to all, but to those who were familiar with the authors quoted, it was a feast which they will not soon forget. MT. Frost is graduate of Yale College and has been for years very successful educator. The people of Amenia are very fortunate in havlpg such man at the head of then literary institution. We predict that Amen. ia Seminary under the care of Prof. Frost will be regarded with great favor and llber- ally patronized by parents who wish to give their sons and daughters a thorough education. Amenia is a beautiful and healthy place, easy of access. and Prof. Frost's school is like Christian home in which the physical, mental and moral cul- ture of the students are looked after with the solicitude and care of 8 parent. The Principal has given proof of his determlra
 ton to do justice by his scholars in select
 ing corps of very able teachers to assist him. The faculty of Amenia Seminary will compare most favofab!y with the fac, ulties of the best institutions of this kind in the country. L1TERATUM STUD1osUs.
