that one work-deemlng no sacrlnct
too great for its fulfillment.'
OF his success, there are many
witnesses. One whose knowledge OF
his life and work was most complete
said: ''He seemed to infuse his own
spirit and energy into all
connected with the school, so that il
rapidly rose to the rank of the best
Academy in the West. Its pupils
were multiplied, numbering one yeal
one hundred and seventy-six. From
all parts of the land young mer
gathered to it. 1t needed none OF
the canyassing, now so important, fol-
every student effectually presented
its claims
Other elements of success were
Mr. Moore's fearlessness in the dis
charge of duty, lirmness in the en-
forcement of rules, and in the eXer
else Of discipline. So earnest anc
decided character could not fail tC
encounter prejudice and opposition
but in this time-serving world
of him, we may say, as did Car
dinal Beaton of John Knox: There
is one who never feared the face o

less arduous positions, could temp
him.
We give an extract from Gun
ion address delivered by Mr.. Chaun
cey f. Black, now Lieutenant Gov
ernor of Pennsylvania, June 9th
1860, as illustrating the relation be
tween teacher and student.
Milton drew the plan of perfect
school Its numbers were to be few
scarcely exceeding one hundred
All the studies of the college an(
University were to be pursued; anc
he who presided there was to live il
intimate communion with the stu
dent, giving character to his daily
thoughts by the imperceptable oper
atoms of his infuence-the young
spirit expanding in the shade of thu
mightier-that from youthful seclu
sion he might emerge so tempered
and braced, that his balance would
be true, and his step firm amidst thu
thick strewn dangers and along
the rugged ways of life.
Those personal relations between
the teacher and the taught, which
the great blind man invoked, every
Academy enjoyed in their highes
perfection. And they were of double
power to mould the youthful charac
ter, emanating on the one part from
such man as the head of the In
stitution.
Let me only say, that, when TIN
bier and the pail have done their of
fees for him, he will live in temple
which bear his own impress, the pro
foundry grateful hearts of thos
whom he has familiarized with tn
ambitious pleasures of education
and SO brayely led from paths whicl

up into the regions of moral light
Long years hence, perhaps when thi
generation has gone to rest, old me-
who once knew his good counsel
will yet live to perpetuatc the remem
brance of his virtues, and see tina
his good name does not sleep union
ored.
The citizen of West Virgini
points with just pride to its UniveI
sity, whose beautiful buildings crow
the heights above the calm, flowini
river, and recognizes it as the cente
Of cultivation and true refinemen
for the young men of the State.
The citizen of Morgantown look
with respect at the gray walls of til
old Academy, remembering thai
here originated that influence, an
reputation of the town, as seat Q
learning, which secured to it, the lc
cation of the University; and tina
from it's halls came two honored Pre-
fessors, and the President who's
manly dignity and Christian schol
arship grace the University and al
the earnests of its onward progress
to a place among the highest inst
tutions of our land. Nj.
