ICOMMUNICATED

Closing Exercises.
1t was on last Wednesday that availed
myself of the previous acceptance of II kind
invitation from Mr.. George Settle to be
present at the closing exercises of Centre
vile Academy, over which he has presided
for the last session and instructed with credit
to himself and honor to the school.
In some respects to me this was day OF
much enjoyment in others it was day of
sadness. What gave me pleasure and lent
| n charm to the day was the creditable man
ner in which each pupil engaged in the pro-
ceedings Of the day acquitted himself, us
well as the rapid progress made by the
pupils as exhibited by the examination
which was very perceptible to me, as it was
once my fortune to be pupil in the same
school with many of the pupils who were
under the tuition of Mr.. Settle, whilst the
school was under the charge and instruc-
| ton of the popular and able instructor, ou,
County Superintendent, F. D. Ficklin now
principal and proprietor of Providence
| Academy, Fairfax c. H., Va.
Mr.. Settles farewell address, in which he
exhorted his pupils to such noble aspirations,
and gave them such good advice with the
words that passed between him and his
pupils as he took each one by the hand and
| babe him OF her goodbye, rendered the
scene very affecting.
l feel quite sure that since the retirement
of Mr.. Ficklin from this post that it has not
been favored with an instructorso proficient
and conscientious in the discharge of his
duties as its late principal.
Among the pupils who Won much APP
plause from the audience, and bore away
the laurels were Masters Lewis Machen,
Arthur DeBell, Stewart Lambert, Ernest
Harrison, Walter Cation, Robert Alison and
Thomas Mohler, and Miss Gertrude Taylor,
Miss Mittie Mohler, Miss Mary Lambert and
Miss Penola Spindle. ERASMUS.

WANTED ANINTRODUCTION

On Il recent trip Of one of the up
river steamers about twenty
couples Of ladies and gentlemen
formed all excursion party, and the
cabin presented quite a sociable
and pleasing appearance. There
We're, too, several ladies who had
but one escort. There was also a
drummer Oh the boat, aud not be
ing acquainted he felt lonesome
and couldn't bear the idea of not
getting acquainted with some Of
the charming ladies. He was anx
ious to be introduced to the group
who seemingly had but one escort,
and went to Clerk Watt, asking
him TO do the introducing. The
clerk said he was not acquainted
himself, but nothing would give
him more pleasure than to give the
i%rrepressible commercial tourist an
introduction to the escOrt of the at
tractive ladies. He made HIM &C
quainted with a man weighing go
pounds. and after the two had gone
through the formalities of an intro
drction, the fat man told the drum
mer that 1t was a mistake about his
being the escort of the ladies.
"But," said the fat man, II will
show you the man who is. Dc you
see that person sitting down there
He is the escort of the ladies. He's
a little deaf, though. and you will
have to t2.ik loud to him."
The travelling man went over
and, after bowling to the supposed
human being and stating his bus
ness with him. discovered that he
was merely addressing a dummy
and. of course those who WATCHED
the fun broke out in a loud laugh
The drummer wanted to fight SOM
body on the spot, but finally cam
to the conclusion that discretion
was the better part Of valor. Fl
quietly Withdrew to the hurrican
deck, and wondered how he cam
to be SO easily fooled.

The gladiolus swings in the sun
Its flaming shaft of light;
Gardenias waiting till heats are done,
Shields from the day their sight.
Sweet marjoram scents the noontide air
The mush III its hull is green,
And over the garden wall a flare
OF hollyhock fiaunts its sheen.
A pallid lily, appraised and tall.
Remembers a love long past;
The mystic passion-iower lels fall
Its tears that love cannot last.
Geraniums, sturdy as toiling men,
Glow red. nor heed the sky,
That CLEANS with a heat that quivers
when
Eolus comes sweeping by.
The pansy, first of the daylight train,

For the morning glory sleeps again,
And the rose leaves fail apart.

And out OF the south a sigh.

And the blue is gray, and the heat is gone
And the flowers laugh at the sun.
