The perfect harmony which has existed
between teacher, pupils and patrons during
the term of this school is indeed very er-
markable an d will now say to you schol-
ars that in your teacher you may recognize
perfect picture of innocence, whose every
word denotes intelligence blendid with gen.
| tleness, kindness and affections, and it
matters not upon what remote inhabitable
| portion of this earth your future lots may be
cast and although you may live until re-
volving years have whitened your locks
like those of your humble servants you
will still retain vivid recollectionsof your
school days and fancy will often cluster
around your associations very dear to mera-
ry you will often review the bright and
Joyous faces of your school mates, nor will
You forget your teachers, their name nor
the estimats set upon their merits, and am
sure that when in her turns Miss Glass
may be presented to your minds you will
pause long to reflect upon her gentle kind
ness her assidious effects to instruct in the
various branches Of education according to
the age and capacity of her pupils, how she
indeavored to encourage you become intelli-
| gent, respectable and useful members of soci
ETY.. To be ladies and gentlemen in every
respects and on all occasions. Miss Glass
has now finished the work she came to pre-
form, the manner in which she conducted
| her school does credit to her self and is en-.
| tirely satisfactory to all who are concerned.
She came among us stranger, but during
her brief sojourn she has succeeded In win
ming the highest esteem of all who have had
thespleasure of making her ACQUAINTANCE.
4 She is now ready-to return to her friends;
she is expecting her Pa to come and take
her home to repair the family circle of loved
ones there. The good name she brought
with her she takes back to her friends un-
tarnished. She takes with her her well
earned wages dollar of which am sure no
4 one begrudges her. And last. of all and
what may afford her an enduring pleasure
she takes with her the best wishes Of both
Pa irons and pupils.
