YALEDICTORY.
The school year t. closing. Our work
is almost done. GLOW swift the Il gut If
happy hours a" Swift, iudred, mas been
their fl ght. When surrounded by pleasant
associations weeks and months seem only
moments Of bliss, whose joys we do not
reslize till time has hurled them into the
abyss Of the past and they are lost IN the
wreck OF untold ages. Such has been the
fate OF our school days. They gre over.
But they have been spent 10 laying up rich
treasures IN the Iniud-that immaterial
Kingdom where memory Is queen, aud
where knowl DE, love and friendship,
unsullied by time, live on forever But
few mon rs have elapsed since we met
here almost as strangers, but during In
time the ties Of love aud friendship,
strong aud lasting rs eternity, have been
taining themselves around our hearts,
binding us 10 our schoOlmates
and teachers ia bonds taat tine
nor space can sever. 1t IL with
sorrow we strive IN vain To

part. our hearts swell With emotion, our
lips quver,wth pain, ana our eyes grow
aim with tears when we bid our last, long
adieu TO all these pleasant associations.
Surely these happy hours aud sacred Ties
are stamped In letters Of gold upon orr
book Of remembrance, aud will always be
cherished as the sweetest OF the Joys Of
life.
No matter what part we may play upon
the stage OF life--whetaer our cup over
flow with sweets or we drain It's bitterest
dregs-whetner our path be streWn with
sweetest 4 DIVERS, or set with sharpest
thorns, here is one SPOT on Which memory
