AN ESSAY READ BEFORE THE CEN


TRIAL FEMALE INSTITUTE, OF
CLINTON, BY MISS sALLIE e.
EUBANK, OF DuRANT, MISS.
An era OF seven geological ages
in the worlds history rolled by.
Its Maker, on the last day of its
completion, turned the hinges of
Sunsets golden gate to bid man,
in His own image, come forth
from the dust of the earth and
dwell in the Garden of Eden. So
to all things on which you tickle
sun shines, be they dull or bri. CHI,
there cometh consummation
day.
Day by day, like an inexorable |
fate, we meet with moral wrongs
things, so grossly mean and
vile that life resolves itself into
this problem; How shall they be
met? If there were only de-
mand for them somewhere, not
beyond the region Of Hades, how
gladly might they be exported
thitherl But by the law of COM
pensation in all countries, some
how the supply Of such has always
fully equalled the demand. Yet,
though it be with an energy as
boundiess, uutiring, neverteasing
! as that which IS required to over
, come a lightning-rod agent, or a
travelling book agent, that we
must labor to extirpate these nui
sances, let lis waitl Wait and
and work, with all the patience OF
Joo, the meekness of Moses end
!. the strength of sampson for so
J. surely as these evils exist beneath
: the sun, the concluding day to
y them shall come.
The mariner, through raging
storms and tempests has brought
: the ship freighted with human
= lives and the rich treasures OF
2 Eastern wealth weIl-nigh to the
destined haven, and, now, to him
y last day cometh when he enters
y the port and his voice reaches the
= objects of his pride anil love.
y The benevolent man, who, aftel
= years mid painful tolls, hal
= plaated the seeda of truth within
:. the domains of erros, ere he close
~ his eyes, sees the fruits of hi
sse labors in the yicsory CT truth, an,
le thus the concluslon flls his sou

is liam birds of politics, with insal
~ late appetite and noIscme wiz

''u dismal orgies TO gloat over th
spojls of an lll-gotten Office. w
ne can but rejoice at the end of me
