fragments, which combined, are capable
Of producing the grandest events. The
path to success is dark and steep :; the
race Of life is intense tho runners arc
treading OH each others heels woe to him
who stops to tie his shoestring. Time
and opportunity SHOULD never be allowed
to pass without accomplishing some good.
Time is the least part Of eternity the

Oration-'' Diamond Cut Diamond. -
A. NJ. Viven, Reading, Pa. Education is
the development Of our ethical or moral
nature. We can train the animal or the
plant but man must be educated by the
action of mind upon mind. The teacher
is not an antOmaton who gauges his work
by his salary; lie must be man, in love
with truth and beauty. The college pro
fessor must be q fountain of knowledge
and sympathy. All pious admOnition to
the contrary, students will criticise the
methods and actions of their teachers, and
the latter must therefore strive to gain
their regard. At this point the speaker
entered upon dissertation as to the prop
er method Of culture, and closed with an
earnest eulOgium upon that pursued IN

absence of any break in their proprietorship

remarked that it was largely due to the
fact that they sent their sons to Pennsyl-

an effective and appropriate response with

to hear favorable report from the COL

stcadicr than when first lit up some
time ago. The street light is very
steady and makes very good substi-

markedly soft, and person can gaze
steadily at it for a long time and with
out any apparent bad effects to the
eyes. Judging from present appear
ances the electric light will answer adj
mirably for lighting up the streets, but
for business houses, residences, etc, we
arc of the opinion that there will have
to be some Improvement made before
it will be generally adopted. The &C.
casional jumping of the light will have
to be stopped. The works, however,
are new, and not perfectly adjusted, and
it is too carly to form fair judgment
