was be in bis effort.
ga mcrrier man
Within the limits of becoming mirth,
| never spent an hours talk withal.
The Lecturer said:
Love is the poetry of life.
~
Love is, or ought to lie our greatest bliss;
since every other JOY, how dear soever,
Gives way 10 that, and we leave all for
love.
The young ladies present thought
this premise splendidly taken; and it
was so well sustained with anecdotes
and arguments from the poets, that
the young men concluded the girls
were right, and they would admit
the proposition without any doubt.
The second premise--CoURTsHIP:-
When happy lovers meet
In some lone spot, where not sound is
Save their own signs, or the unequal
OF their young hearts to tender wishes
stirred,
As hand seeks hand, and meeting chances
The unuttered tale OF love too sweetly
well.
The delineation of the bashful
lover and bis smiling sweetheart
convulsed the house and taught con-
didates for matrimoDy useful les
son.
The Observation-Disclosures
There's bliss beyond all that
the minstrel has told
When two, that are link'd in one heaven
ly tie,
With heart never changing, and brow
never cold,
Love on thro' all Ills, and love on till
they die.
One hour of passion SO sacred is worth
Whole ages of heartless and wandering
blias;
And oh If there be an Elysium on earth
1t is this it Is this T.
The contrast between the happily
married man and the old bachelor
was graphic picture, There was q
beautiful vein of the philosophy of
life running all through this lecture,
aud there is little doubt but what
the preachers revenue in this section
will be greatly increased during the
year.
The Soiree rendered on Friday
evening. is said to be oue of the most
delightful entertainments ever given
in this section of the country. The
house was crowded to excess and
scores who could not get entrance
surrounded the windows. The

The music was well rendered,
especially the solo of Miss Boone and
that of Miss Fowler. The ladies
labored under the Inconvenience of
having to accompany themselves on
the instrument. Both received a
hearty encore.
The tableaux were life pictures,
especially the Three Little Maids at
School. The recitatioDs showed con-
siderable study Of elocutioD; and the
dialogues gave evidence of dramatic
talent
Surely this Club is a delightful
school to the young men and maidens
of the neighborhood. and should be
aided and assisted by every one who
feels any interest IN the improvement
and elevation of the growing genera
ton.
