OF the music, from want of space to go
into details, we will say but little. except
to express our great pleasure at the fne
and spirited rendering of the chorus,
sour Country" by the chorus class, sup
ported by grand accompaniment of Or
gan, piano and cornet, a,volume of har-
fullness of sound that filled the
heart with emotions of devotion, patri-
otism and the pleasing influences Of Mu-
sic, heavenly maid who always is young,
and never to grow old to the ears of her
devotees. ~
The Senior essays followed in their or
der, between each of which was inter
posed some vocal or instrumental treat
7 Miss Bessie f. Harris, Of Morristown,
Tenn. led off with an essay on art, read
with .elearness and eomposure, and
demonstrating that the young lady was
well read up In her very happy subject,
we'll chosen and well handled. Miss Adj
die L.sSmith followed with here essay.
"Our National Safeguard" the weapens
for which were chosen with a woman's
and treated with woman's
fervor.
This was thoughtful. well written
production.
Miss Sallie E. Weaver read an admira
BILE essay. A voice sent forth knows not
how to return in which was illustrated
by many happy and recondite, as we'll
as familiar, Instances. how the world had
been moved, how the world had been
changed, owreligt 81 had1een advanced
how tyrrany had per1shed, how liberty
hand aourished, through the utterance
of words, spoken in haste or fervor, gone
forth, irrevocabie, TO their mission till,
time shall be no more.
Miss Eudora Carruth, h,of Louisiana, read
q well written essay. "Still the
World moves on" topic treated with
phiicsophic yet graceful gravity by the
young lady whose graduation marks her
first footstep on the arena of life.
Miss Alice ". Wilson, Of Lenoir, read
an admirably we'll written and Thought
ful essay. "How the Nations Embalm. y
It was original IN thought and treat
ment. sFhe typical idea of embalming
was merely suggestive Of the mental and
moral, or perhaps material, panoply with
which nations enclose themselves to ac-l
duire or secure the strength TO carry
their fame, the results Of their modes Of
lite, or their public conduct as inhden-
cing national career or character far deep
into the future, to secure the memory or
revererce of prosterity. There was much
fine Thought, very elegantly expressed
in this essay.
