| Among the members Of the class there
is one black Republican. one Democrat,
one Greenbacker and one Mug uump.
As before stated. Miss Axtell has great
illcncy Of language; this. together with
her calm and far-away cast Of colnte-
nance. leads us to prognos.icate her future
career as that Of poet. Her first litera-
~ attempts in that line only coniifm our
opinion. Astounding as they do. III meta
phors. Smiles hypciboles and GRAMMAR
cal errors. Ten years from now Size viii
be the equal OF the Car. sisters; tllons-
ands will read and admire the productions
OF her fertile brain and restless tongue.
The strong. minded female Of tho class
is Miss Marshall. which name she will
carry her whole lifetime. Ter infant
literary productions show great force oi
character; her language Is concise and 4
the point: her arguments carry conslc.
ton to all who hear. Ten years herce oil
men will tremble at the mciition of bel
name. She it is WHO will take from then
the right Of voting and transfer it to Tx
superior sex. All the leading periodicals.
will contain able articles from her pen ol
woman suffrage.
The great educator OF the class is to b.
Miss Thomson Her gigantic inteilec
and great concentration OF muscular pow
or will place her in the front rank. From
all the great schools Of the country ;
voice Of lamentation will arise: and from
1.-THE homes a voice OF praise: all attestins
her skill IN teaching the young idea how
to shoot. All the educational Journals
will contain able articles from her read,
pen. which all the teachers III the lant
will read. mediate and act upon.
The greatest E-liar tic world has eve
seen is to come from this class. BY glanc
at my head. it may readily be seen tina
the bumps of deception and cxaegeratiol
are greatly developed. My youthful pro
auctions, of which this Is a sample. gt
towards confirming that idea. Through
gradual transitions. shall drop from
LAWYER to congressman.

the class with rs. sickness and constltu

Together we four struggled on through
many studies. How relieved We wer
when we made the passage over the l,oa
osiaoram. But even after that trium
plant passage. we encountered many ob
stacles.--almost too many. But at las
cur days as a class are ended, finished b.
the presentation Of the diplomas. All thu
time many opiuio,.s have been advanced
as to the future Of the members. bat al
agree that we viii pass along tie path
way Of life, followed by the blessings o
honor and good deeds. May it be 80.
