On Monday large crowd assem-
blod at the Chapel to attend the cx-
ercises.
The programme was taken up and
gone through with in the morning
with one or two changes. The adj
dress of Rev. G.. ". Hartsfeld of
Mansfield, at the close of the morn
ings exercises was one of the best
things ever heard. 1t was full OF
amusement and instructive.
He said some people saw fit to call
the ladies angels, especially tie young
men, and that it would not take long
after marriage to get that idea oui
their heads even if it took all their
hair off of their head to disabuse
their minds. He went on to offer some
good advice to the young men. Said
it was best not to fly too high that
he was plain and that it is better for
all to be plain and exercise common
sense. He related by way of illus
tratiop, that he once knew a very ex-
cellent old, good, common sense min
lister who was requested by young
preacher to attend his church and
The good old brother attended, and
after preaching, the young minister
desired to have an expression OF the
honest opinion of the good old
brother. The old minister had lis
sened attentively to the discourse and
said, "My young brother, if you
would extract some Of the feathers
rom your Imagination and place |
hem ill your Judgment, you would |
10 very we'll" He then related an
Incident that came under his own
observation. He was riding along the
cad and discovered an animal beside
he road, with crooked back, pro-
ruding ribs, &c. Said he "Can you
ell me what is the matter with thai
.nimal?' He was informed that some
me in the neighborhood had one of
hose old fashioned out door cotton
,resses; that this animal had assembled
me of the wings until reaching the
ummit, he attempted to turn round
md down lie came producing O mass
# goat flesh. Thus demonstrating
he folly Of trying to get out of nat
Iral element.
The speaker then addressed his
ubject to the young ladies'; said it
vas we'll to learn tie way from the
'arlor to the kitchen. After marriage
ohm would come home from work,
ane would meet him saying, "John
% you know the distance from the
arth to the sun, moon, etc?" The re.
ly would be, 81 don't know that /
o, but one thing l do know, I am as
ungry as wolf"
Turning again to the young men
o said; Young men, go to work.
hat heretofore lawyers would look
own upon farmers; that now the in
,lligent farmer was nearly on level
18th tie lawyer. That in the near
lture the lawyer would look up to
le farmer.
