appropriating 50 900 for monument to

the head and neglect the heart is an impoli-
cy as reckless as its impiety is bold. This
truth Providence is stsrnly impressing upon
US in these degenerate times, when corrup-
ton rules in high places, and
.'They may take who have the power,
Aud they may keep who cam
This unchristian heresy, that the heart is
inferior to the head, i, fostered by the vani-
ty of man. who. with an objectionable self
conceit, whilst concediny moral domain to
woman, pretends to higher eminonee in
the power to rule in the marts of trade, and
engage in the varied conflicts of public life.
Too often he esteems her simply as great
convenience rather than as what she really
is-his guardian angel, giving the noblest
erting the most benign influence in drawing
him from his worldliness and keeping hin
from becoming savage.
But woman herself gives culpable counten-
anceto this pernlcious sentiment in her am :
bition to share what she falsely conceives to
be the usuaped honors of manhood. She
thereby surrenders her rightful superiority
in the scale of all human dignities.
Woman's supreme influence is in and
through the affections, and the sceptre OF
her power is in her lovliness and goodness,
more potent than the tabled gician's wand.
AS emancipated by the Gospel from
most intolerable social enslavement, it is
woman's heart far more than mans heat
that has kept us from lapsing into barbar-
ISM. Her bosom is the shrine where true re-
ligion would seek its last refuge, should the
pride of mans intellect rule it out OF social
virtues. II Christianity has done incaleula-
bly, much for woman, her acceptance and
possession OF its gracious power has done
more chan can be estimated for man.

in the French language, was the concluding
literary event of the evening.
Mademoisele Schlachter is the teacher OF
modern languages at the Virginia Fema lie
Institute, and her pupils we'll attest their
superior instruction.
The whole programme was fifty crowned
by the beautiful and graceful exhibition OF
postures in the study of calisthenics. The
class appeared in pure white dress for this
part of the exercise, and the rhythmic bar
mony of their movements was really Won
derful. Two of the more youthful gymnasts,
Miss Julia Tuck and Miss Fanny Catlett, we
would name in special praise for their grace
and perfection of movement. but such praise
would, perhaps, be invidiaus where all did
so well. Miss Martin may we'll feel proud Of
such class.
That the concert on Wednesday night, un-
der the auspices of Prof. Devallay, should
prove magnificent success, no one could
doubt who has observed the Professors
method of teaching and hnreserved devotion
to his beautiful art. No amount of care and
labor has been thought too much, and that
he has succeeded in inspiring his pupils with
portion at least of his own enthusiasm, the
rendering of their individual parts of
the programme proved beyond question.
While all was exquisitely beautiful and
finely rendered we mention as specially
pleasing the Scherzo in A minor by Miss
Gussie Weems, the overture from La
Muette de Portici, a quartette by Misses
Coughanour, LIE Sassier, Weems and Drey-
spring, with Miss Mamie Philips at the or
gan, and the overture from Tampa, by Misses
Smith, Gambrill, Aylett and Opperman on
the piano and Miss NJ. Phillips at the organ.
These could not fail to please the most Gull
tured taste in the sentiment Of their melody
and the fineness of their execution. The
song "Oh, Light Divine" from Lucia de
Chamounix, was sung by Miss Nettie Gam
brill in a voice Of exquisite purity and with

| public is invited to witness the evidences of
their progress in the various studies, that
| people ever think Of the great work that is
being accomplished, and the difficulties of
that accomplishment. Those of experience
know something of the task of teaching
children, possessed of all their faculties, but
even they can form little idea of the patient,
tireless work performed by those who teach
| the blind and deaf and dumb. But these
unfortunates are taught and taught thor
oughly, as each years examination evil
dences.
On Tuesday night the annual concert by
the blind pupils, under Prof. Turner and
Miss Berkeley, was given before an audience
that packed every available foot of space in
the large chapel. The selections, large
number of which were the compositions of
Prot. Turner, were admirable, and were
rendered with faultless accuracy and charm
ing expression. For the most part, the pu.
pills were novices, many of them having
been entered at the Institution last fall. In
the band there were only two or three old
members, but the recruits had made such
progress they might readily have been taken
for veterans. There were two little shavers,
Masters McCambridge and Carr, neither of
whom looked ten years old, whose perform
ance on the alto and cornet were so well ex-
ecuted, that the audience forced them to re-
spond to the encore.
TtsL
Putnam, Shaver, and Nowlin gave songs
as sweet as songs could be, while little Dora
Nugent, in ssLittle Gipsey Jane, = was thor
oIghly captivating. The cuets by Misses
White and Berkeley were finely executed
and exhibited voices Of compass and culture,
and the orchestra music was such as only
talent carefully cultivated could execute.

rewards to their share fell only Its trials, tolls
with march and watch, worn with famine they
stood in battle storm, firm as Roman legion, or
Macedonian Phalanx-died with the devotion of
charge as freely as Household Guard. "What,
then, was their peculiar history?" They had
no peculiar history. Their history is the his
tory of the Southern cause, and of the soldiers
who upheld it.
The Confederate soldier needs no eulogy; his
devotion and deeds will speak for themselves
in history. He was tried by every test that
measures the courage, endurance, faith, and de-
votion of man, and was never found wanting
when placed in closest comparison with the
most removed soldiers of other countries and
other ages.
There is one incident In the history of the
Army Of Northern Virginia, SO similar in many
respects to an incident in the history of the ar
my Of Italy, which occurred during that cam
paign, conceded to be the most successful and
splendid OF all the campaigns of Napoleon,
which SO strikfngly illustrates the character
and spirit of the Confederate soldier, that can
not forbear repeating 1t here, though at the risk
Of telling twice told tale.
The success Of the entire Italian campaign
turned upon. the successful passage Of the
Bridge Of Lodi. The Austrian army with its
artillery were massed upon the other side, and
the narrow pass must be won in the face of the
concentrated fire. The French column was
formed and ordered to advance. They stag
gered under the whitening fire and retreated
but failure was ruin-the pass must be won.
They were rallied, brought back to the charge
but again retreated; yet the pass must be won
when Napoleon himself and by his order, Mas
sena, Berthier, Cervoni, Dalmagne, and Lannes
placed themselves at the head OF the column
Follow, your Generals, was the order. They
followed their Generals, passed the bridge
pierced the Austrian centre, and won the vtcto-
ry.
In the earliest dawn of misty morning-the
morning of the memorable 18th of May, 1864
one of those tremendous massed columns
which, from time to time during that frightfu
campaign, were hurled against the army. o
Northern Virginia, dashed against our ling
it asunder;, and, through the breach, poured
line after line and column after column, al
wave follows wave in ocean storm.
In that moment hung suspended the fate Of tn,
army Of Northern Virginia. In the instant. jus
on the spet, that rushing, solid, ever-increasinl
mass. must be met, stopped, hurled back, or al
is lost. Nearly in rear Of the breach were TIVE
brigades. lying along the line of their stacket
arms: In few seconds after the order to '.fal
in they were ready for action, and Gen. LIE
rode to their front. And the picture he made
as the grand old man sat there on his horse
with his noble head bare, and looked from
