she was forced to take to her bed. The
death Of her husband and child on the

Why is it that sweet girl and boy
graduates who delight their parents
and startle communities with the cor
ruscatious Of their genius do not keep
m their work after the glare and
glamour, and ribbons and bOqusts Of
commencement occasions2 Why is it
that the valedictorian who reads the
finest composition and receives the
finest compliments is seldom heard OF
sfterward as contributor to newspa-
psrs or magazines2 1t would be sup-
posed the young man of fne logical OF
descriptive powers and the young lady
capable Of Analysing the problems OF
social life, and dressing up her
thoughts in the stately language OF q
Madame De Stael, weuld be able
to continue their thinking and
their fine writing long after
the music and the comph'
ments Of the occasion have died away,
and even after the gilt framed diploma
in an unknown tongue has faded on
the wall. But this is not always, and
we fear not often the case. The hot
house plant trained for an exhibition
before the footlights Of a college ros'
trum from the day OF matriculation to
the so-called commencement day
often gets its growth too soon anC
dWindles and dawdles out an unevent
full, passive life on the cherries plain
Of lower mediOcrity. The children
are not 50 much to blame as the sys
TEN which society countenances AMI
teachers and parents maintain, Their
isa deal Of humbug about what ",
regard as higher education aud accom-
plishments, and altogether too muel
time spent in getting ready to show o.
we'll before the public at the end o
the session. The resi- uses Of eduoa
ton are lost sight Of in the settings Q
the stage, the pose Of the actors an
scenic effects. Life is real-life
practical and earnest. II is mocker
to assume its responsibilities in tins'
ornaments and a shield of gauEe. An
to put young people out into tb
world to struggle for themselves wit
Ouly an empty parade Of accomplis |
msnts is as cruel as to dress childrs
in summer clothing andsetthem adri
to beg or work for living in mil
winter. There is nothing sadder tina
ayoung lite already tinged with th
rays Of decaying hopes. Nothing III
kinder than to set youth aAoat with
sham ballast ahd false expectation
Those who dose simply shirk the mo
serious responsibilities and vacate
trust that is oitener sought than d
served.

NEW YORK, December l6.-General
Roger A. Pryor, the American counsel
for O'Donnell, arrived home to-day on
the steamer Germania. Talking about
0'Donnel's case he said up 10 the mo.
ment the Judges charged the Jury the
second time on the degree Of manslaueh-
ter, which ODonnell had committed. he
felt confident Of acquittal, and the jury
inclined toward the prisoner. But ths
Judges answer took away any and all
hope, and the jury were obliged to bring
in verdict Of murder.
General Pryor says the defense wa
absolutely faultless in lis conduct, and b,
was perfectly satisfied with il, Genera
Pryor became much heated when he des.
cribed how the English people held Amer,
leans in contempt.
1T is time" be said, ''lhat the Ameri-

loitiest contempt for Americans, and they

Mayor Johnston gives permission to all
weIl-disposed and law-abiding citizens to
discharge or set of in any OF the public
streets. from O'Clock this evening to mid
night OF the 18th, the usual fireworks, and
adds that he has neither the disposition nor
the authority TO give permission to any one
to fire or discharge in this town any cam
non, gun, pistol, or other firearms OF any
kind, nor to make any NOISE with horns or
other things whereby the inhabitants may
be alarmed or annoyed.
An old citizen from the country says he
has read all that the Dispatch has said
about Randall. Carlisle, and the tariff, and
il amuses him to observe how very much
concerned some of the enemies OF the
Democratic party are lest there should no;
be a schism amongst the Democrats about
the tariff. For his part he would not give
fig for the difference between Mr.. Ran
dali and Mr.. Carlisle IL he only could see the
country rid of the internal-reyenue busl'
ness, and the evils incident thereto.
