takena nyely interest, none were more
significant of real progress, hard
work and good results than that of the
Wesleyan Female College, whiChcame
off last week at Brownsville, The
exercises closed Wednesday evening
in the presence Of a large and intellis
gent audience, composed Of the friends
Of the college and the cause of higher
edcuation, and the best elements Of
society in Haywood county.
In abiding to the occasion we will
draw somewhat literally from the re-
ports Of the local press of the place
without giving special credit. The
commencement sermon was preached
Sunday morning at the Methodist
church, by Rev. w. V. Tudor, DID,.
of st. Louis, an eloquent
divine, whose utterances always
command the respect of intellectual
and conscientious people, Hepreach-
ed an earnest and eloquent sermon
from the text: Whose adjoining let
1T not be that outward adjoining of
plating the hair, and of wearing gold,
or Ofputting on apparel. But let it be
the hidden man Of the heart in that
which is incompatible, even the orna-
ment of meek and quiet spirit. :"
The sermon was a happy exposition of
the text, as applied to the prevailing
fashions Of the day, and of the true
beauty ola meek and quiet spirit"
