PRESIDENT HUMEs' ADDRESS.
The young gentlemen of the graduating
class were called to their feet, and were ad
dressed by their worthy, revered and vener
ated president, in the following sound
sensible and Appropriate remarks, ever.
word of which, if taken in the proper spirit
would rebound to their everlasting good ant
prosperity in the battle of life and shoult
be treasured up. He spoke feelingly ant
fatherly, as follows:
Young Gentlemen:
According to our usage, take the oppor
tunity to speak to you few parting words
of advice and encouragement. Upon the
eve of going forth from the University tt

some idea of what kind of men you will be
employment you will follow, but the type
of manhood you will manifest, and towardi
which, in its perfection, you will aspire.
In that connection, let me suggest to you
few thoughts concerning the citizenship
upon which you will shortly enter.
Industry, need scarcely say, is an es
sential element of good citizenship. I'm
pressiyely, Solomon has taught it in words
and Hogarth illustrated it upon the canvass
That it leads to honor and happiness, and
idleness leads to disgrace and misery, is 6
trite truth, but not the less does it need tc
be repeated to every generation. What
ever your honest avocation, follow it as
siduously, with energy and prudence but
diligence in business should be allied witt
the cultivation of all virtues. 1t is wise to
beware of vice, and of places and associa
tions that lead to vice.
Good or harmless recreation are needfu
in the midst of affairs; but they are active
ly to be Stunned when they open a door tt
evil Especially is this true in our owl
land, at the present day, when young mel
are so strongly tempted by various forms o.
sensual indulgence, and particularly to the
Incorporate use of intoxicating drinks
We are doing much, and rightly SO
for the mental education of the people
But we are not doing all that should ant
might be done, at the same time, for thei
moral training. 1t is no doubt of great i'm
portance that every citizen who exercise
| the right of suffrage, should know how T.
read and write. But IL is more importan
! that he should know, and should feel il
his very soul, that the right of suffrage is
| noble and grand privilege; that it is one O
the most precious possessions of an Amer
| can citizen; that his ballot should always
cast with single eye to the welfare of hi
country, and that it is a base thin
| to make it or the vot
of his neighbor, thing of traffic for money
Honor then the suffrage, by example an
active effort, as a palladium of America
liberty and order. Unquestionably we nee
a more vigorous and active leaven of virtu
and purity to permeate the whole body {
the people, from its head to its feet. An
to the young men who are now coming fol
ward upon the stage of action, we mul
look to arm themselves with principles c
rectitude, and to do valiantly in its behalf
to frown always and everywhere upon CO.
| ruption, as well as violence, and to maintai
and promote all that is true, and pure an
praiseworthy.
Intelligence without morality, and bot
of them without religion, will not give SUI
cess to the experiment in government
which this nation is making before the eye
of the civilized world. Its duty, not onl
for its own sake, but for the sake of th
world, is to save its life, and this it can dt
only through righteousness, and by faith
an unseen Power, infinitely higher an
greater than itself The young men of th
country, therefore, should be not only il
telligent and moral, but Christian youn
men; not only Industrious, honest, ten
perate and chaste, but consecrated m hea1
and life to Jesus of Nazareth, who is th
noblest type of manhood which it is posi-
BILE for the mind to conceive, and as fa
transcends all other ideals and living exen
plars among men as the heavens transcen
the earth. A man, and yet as the first Nj
poleon testified, more than man, who wa
and is the Son of God Said Napoleon
Alexander, Caesar, Charlemagne and
founded empires, but upon what founds
tions did We rest the creations of OF
genius? Upon force. Jesus Christ alon
founded his empire upon love; and, at th
hour, millions of men would die for hin
I die before my time, and my body will b
given back to the earth, to become the foo
of worms. Such is the fate of him who hs
been called the great Napoleon. Whi
an abyss between my deep misery and tt
eternal Kingdom of Christ, which is pro
claimed, loved and adored, and which

Let the golden rule which Christ CAV,
sDo unto others as you would they should
unto you, " be your motto all your days an
His word, to "love ones neighbor as one
SELF" be your guide. The aim of ever
young man should be, after Christs exam
pie, to do good to the glory of God; to d
