This little monkey was not all brass in his
younger days; but II he changes as fast ~ the
future at he has since he arrived In Newark, we
may expect soon to see him converted into sollu
brass: IN fact the same might be said about them
both.
A brush was presented to Mr.. Carpen-
ter with the following:
In presenting you with this brush. we do not
wish you to brush the dust of our town from your
feet but hope when you have crossed the continent
and settled in your western homei WIN some inir
one by your side, you will explain tqher that this
that one member had the particular qualities OF
that excellent class Of individuals, termed, old
maids.
A bonnet was given Mr.. Curtis with
the following words OF presentation:
You all have full view OF this young man.
You all perceive the asthotic appearance Of this
article. This Is sufficient. Here SISSY take yonr
bonnet.
Miss Polk was given spoon with the
following:
Youth Is surely the golden time of life. You
being the youngest OF our number, we present
you with this golden spoon, as nn emblem OF your
youth
Some people get spoOny
At the sight Of spoon
While others get luncy
In the light of the moon.
We must not grudgo, we must not parley,
About the things concerning charlie;
Or our eyes may close to soon,
To ever again sec the light OF the moon,
Iii diddlo, 'sI and tho fiddle,
They prOmcnlded under the moon;
The students all laughed to see to sec the nne
sport,
Aud immv ran away with the spoon.
On Sunday evening the Rev. W. ST.
monitor, class Of '46, of Emmittsburg,
Md, delivered the baccalaureate sermon.
The text was taken from the eighteen
chapter of the Acts, seventeenth verse {:
"And Gallo cared for none of these
things" The subject OF his remarks
was 'Indilferontism. He preached upon
its sins and the evil that it did. He said
that indiiferentism was nothing more
than diluted iniidelity, and belonged
more properly to the practical than to
the theoretical kind ''Tho only safe
aud rational course is present, earnest,
studous attention to the voice Of God as
uttered in conscience and rs pronounced
in His Holy Word. And to this, he
said, II would alfectiOnately and more
particularly exhort the young ladies and
gentlemen whom have the honor to
address tonight, and whose student days
rs undergraduates are about TO close.
Oh he entreatcd to listen to in offer of
life and everlasting blessedness, which
could not be proposed until the ransom
price was paid in the sweat and the tears
and groans and blood of Gods beloved
Son. Permit not an insensibility which
YOU could not for moment in any
worldly transaction TO bring upon you
the remorseful and ineXhaustible penalty
involved in the declaration 'Ye knew
your duty, but We did it not " The
church was filled with large and appre-
ciative audience.

erary Society celebrated its forty-ninth

meath commodious canvas, handsomely

with prayer. V. b. Wooliey acted as

and took for Lis subject, "Mistale not
your Calling" His address throughout
was logical and pleasing, and aptly illus

best chances in life. The effort was re-
ceived with merited appreciation.

phia Press, followed in n very forcible
grafton. taking for his subject, "Youth
and Success" He dwelt ON the many re-
sponsibe positions to be filed by young

pre- ciated by the large audience.
