Prof. Swing, in one of his recent SER
mons, pays the following eloquent tri-
butte to education: Education is al
most the whole of man. He is little
without it; be is almost divine with it.
The difference between group of wig
vans and the city of London is explain
ed by that one word. The term is so
large that all the arts and industries and
religions can take refuge in its walls as
in a vast temple. All the forms of
human welfare emerge from its recesses
and holy places. If you say we owe
much to liberty, that liberty was evolved
from education; if we owe much to poll
tics, all its principles resulted from the
evolution of mind; if we owe much to
art and religion, they only express the
long and patient growth of the brain.
No one term in the history of man con-
tains more of destiny than this one word
education. Every piece OF great archi-
lecture is its statue; every poem and
Grafton is its language; each invention
is its genius; each piece of music is its
flower; all religions are its study and
hope; every dear home is the work of
its hand. Man was made an infant in
his powers, and then he began an as
cent, and education was the marble
stairs under his foot and the angel by
his side. 1t stands, therefore as the orr
gin and destiny of mantle solution of
every mystery of society"

to give the Middle and Western States

ly suggestion, that, IN anticipation of

the rear of the cold anticyclone, railroad
men should take precautions to keep
their lines open and preparations should
be made in the large cities to remove
the new snow drifts before they solidfy

LEAP YEAR PARTY.-As was to be
expected the leap year party at HYDE
Hall, last Thursday evening, proved an
immense success. The quiet and unob-
trusive managers of the affair, had the
arrangements in every detail well ar
ranged, and everything moved so
smoothly and gracefully that the young
gentlemen were almost forced to admit
in their own minds, that it was as we'll,
and perhaps little better than they
could have possibly done themselves.
Some of the young gentleman at first
were little coy, and naturally mani
tested some diffidence, which was soon
overcome in warm and hearty well
come, and the gay and brilliant festivi-
ties of the evening. The Lancaster
String Band furnished music for the oc-
casion, to whose strains the young
gentlemen and their gallant partners
pleasantly passed several hours in dane
ing, when the company repaired to the
Wright House, where an elegant repa st
was served, in which mine host and
hostess, Mr.. and Mrs. John S. Wright
and his assistant in the culinary depart
ment, Mrs Webber, apparently We'd
with themselves to surpass all previous
attempts in this line in the history of
this famous hosiery. Thus was the
year, famous in poetry and song ushered
in by Lancaster ladies, and no one who
knows their reputation among the ladies
of the land, will doubt their capabilities
of carrying out the programme for the
season so auspicously begun.
