Miss Howell's Salutatory was !
short. but striliingly happy.
She welcomed the friends who
had come there to witness the
launching of their irail harks on
the great ocean of life, and said
that they started upon theirv"y-
age, not Xn0uHissirinss, for
they were aware that head winds
aud adverse currents had prov
ed fatal to many WHO had gone
that way betore'them. The first
essay was read by Miss Elise
Johnson. Her subject was 'Har-
mony of Nature" and too much
praise cannot be given her for
tile masterly manner in which
it was handled. She seemed
perfectly at ease while dealing
with the most abStruSe ideas,
and really exhibited a thorough
acquaintance with Chemistry.
| Natural Philosophy, Astronomy
and Geology. Size has evinced Il
decided taste for the sciences.
and we trust that she will have
the opportunity to >"a deea1'
into those hidden paths that
contuin so many mysteries.
We were equally pleased Will
the essay .f Miss Mary Powell
entitled 1.-The World Il kaleido
SCOPE" She began with Web,
STEERS definition of Kaleido

pare orr world with this curious
instrument. She discussed the
creation OF the earth, showed
the "six days spoken of III the
Bible, were six eras Of unknown

The final examinations of the
T.. f. G. Institute were held on
Thursday and Friday 10th and
Nth insts. The pupils ac1nit-
ted themselves crcditably. The
itonotouy of questions and an
;swers was relieved 10y music and
recitations. All the performers
tiid well. Most Of the instru-
mental pieces were of Il spark
ling style, the "Carnaval de La
:Nouvellc Orleans particularly
so. The 'Caruaval de Ncnise,"
ami ''La Plainte ct la l'rlse' were
rendered with much expression.
The singing Of the class was
good, and the vocal solos, 'Look-
ing Back" and ''Return" were
swcetly sung. Music is an
agreeable pastinc, and a pleas
ant feature ut the examinations.
The pieces recitcd were well
committed to memory, but the
delivery ola few was not at all
good. There was too much
stiffness about some, and the
gestures were rather unnatural.
Master Edward Batter, although
very young, seemed more at
ease than the older ones, and
with his little face radiant Will,
excitement, aud full Of smiles.
he thanked the audience toI
their kind attention, and closed
by bidding them all farewell
The compositions Of the junior,

classes answered readily, though

Miss May Howell's essay was


"After." Though it lacked the
depth of thought which charac-
terized those just mentioned, III
possessed many beauties otTss\
own. Herwell-rounded periods
were, now and then, ornament
ed with some beautiful and APP
propriate quotAtion. The lan-
guagn was pure, the style was
chaste, and there were touches
OF pathos that reminded us OF
Hawthorne and NJ rvel. We
may say of ''Atter," what ceie-
brated writer has said Of Col
Inns "Ode to Evening" ''All Is
soft, airy, full Of variety, YET
har,nonizri into grace: it is one
of those undulatinG mclo'!ieso or
Schubert, Oh which the soul
floats drcaniiy, as If on thc
dcwy breath of twilight.'
Miss Carrie Reeve chose for
! her theme. "Lcarn to Lab l. an"
to Wait" Her style is happy
medium between tie diif'nse and
concise, and in her essay, we
found nanny passages of tehes,,
Il
beauty. Beginning with Colts
curse, promo luceu on the ground

that ''n,an should earn his bread
by the sweat of his brow" She
proved this to he bat u blessing
in disguise. Labor was the g RI
mai curse," but afterwards "sot-
tened into mercy" And tronl
this, she went on to speak OF
labor, both mental and physl
cal, in all its relations: she con
icmnch him who, with vain
: regrets for what ''might haN-
