heard were very good, though We had
such an uncomfortable position that we
could not listen very attentively. The

especially good, she having as subject
Love mo and tell me so sometimes"
Doesn't this show that the girls like to

treated tho subject in different way
from what might be expected; she spoke
OF sincere affection; said that while she
did not believe in being too demonstratire.
yet sho thought that people were some
times too backward in expressing their
'eelings when they were truly and sin
cerely in love. She uttered some terri
bic accommodations upon flirts-upon those
who pretend to love with their lips and
Know no such feeling in their hearts.

several feet above the ground; the chapel
was fixed up, where refreshments were
served and promena,ling carried on:
seats woro scattered hero and there un-
der tho large oaks, whore happy pairs
could sit and talk Of the pleasant school
days just ended and Of the yet pleasanter
vacation which they were anticipating.
and of what else thcy talked-woll, we
couldn't begin to tell.
We havo already written too much for
the patience of our good Editor, and yet
not half as much ns tho exercises of tho
several occasions demanded. But we
must come to close. Suffice it to saw
that tho exercises of the whole week
were very enjoyable. Long may our
noblo institutions flourish, and may each
successive year bring yet moro brilliant
commonccments, so that they may be
placed before tho public in such q light
as to win that patronage and esteem to
which they are so we'll entitled by their
earnest efforts to promote tho cause of
true education. w. w. b.
