seventh Annual C0mmencement---A Bril-.
liant Entertainment--Award of Premiums.

citizens, PrOtestants as we'll as Catholics.
The programme consisted of vocal and |
instrumental music, essays, addresses, an al
legorical drama accompanied with beautiful |
tableaus and the distribution of premiums |
to the pupils; several parts were interviewer |
in such 4 way rs to avoid monotOny, and |
save to the audience the time that would |
have been lost, had the tableaus been pre-
sented in unbroken order.
Intead, however of following the printed |
programme, we will divide the exercises |
into their three constituent parts First the
tableaux and the allegorical drama; Second
the musical and OratOrai exercises, and
Third the comforting of degrees.
The tableauS were very effectively ar
ranged. The first represented Anima
(the human soul, persOnated by Miss Lcih-
erman,) surrounded by throng of pure
and beautiful beings. At the close of this
tableau, Anma appears upon the stage,
accompanied by Wisdom Miss C. Murray
and Innocence (Miss l.. Haberbush), WHO |
hold converse with Anima and instruct
and admOnish her from their different |
standpoints. The second tableau was a |
very gorgeous one and represented Anima |
magnificently arrayed encompassed by
Pride Miss C.. Hepting) and the several
senscs-Taste, Hearing, Feeling, Smell |
and Light, personated respectively by
Misses Stauffer, Anders Witzel, Flood and |
Slaymaker, all of whom tempt Anima to
the enjoyment of sensuous pleasures.
Yielding to the temptation of the senses
the Soul reyels in them until it becomes |
surfeited, and then it's tempters taunt and
mock it, and the place is supplied by the
Gaunt figure of Despair Miss Collahan). !
In the fourth tableau the Soul while under
the influence OF Despair, is visited by Iu-
mlity (Miss OberD and Faith Miss Ken
nard), and under their guidance is led to
Charity Miss Wade), Hope Miss Hart)
and Obedience Miss Wenderotn, and
through these agencies is redeemed as rep
resented in the final tableau. The spec
tacular drama was very well put upon the
stage, the tableaus were impressive, and
the several actors performed their various
parts most creditably.
The musical and literary part of the
programme embraced the following
