fall of the Roman Empire as accomplished by
one little torch, when vast armies and cum
ming intrigues for centuries failed to accom-
plish it. Wellington owed his victory on the
ground of Waterloo not Though his military
but to the failure of Gen. Grouchy
to appear in season, his watch being few
minutes behind time. The defeat and down
fall of the intrepid Napoleon, and the ami
hilation Of the Grand Army of the French
Republic, was the result. The invention Of
the Monitor, very little thing, saved
many thriving cities from destruction and
revised the construction of war vessels.
"A tiny seed has converted barren is
lands into inhabitsble and verdant land
The voices of poets and sages have come
down to us through ages and will never be
silenced as long as men have joys and sor-
rows achieve victory or suffer defeat. The
thoughts, actions and words Of every human
being will be initiated by posterity."
Some twenty Primary pupils sang q clock
song accompanied with grotesque ges lures,
which sat the audience in a roar of hiIarity,
as itbrought mp recollections of school ex-
hibitions as they were many years ago. Prof.
Weaver deserves much credit in training

have consumed much time and patience.
ga Century of Honor" was the subject of
an oration delivered by 7Tn m
sf'''' EDWARD LINGEL.
He was attired in the conventional black.
This oration embodied vast amonnt of his-
torical knowledge of our country during the
last century. Taking each field of enterprise
he traced the gigantic strides made from the
Declaration Of Independence down to the
present time. He expatiated ON the achieve
ments of our great inventions, instructing
his hearers much in that line. The great use
of the printing press and its means Of diff
fusing knowledge, the discovery of electrici-
ty and Edison's miraculous inventions, the
advantages offered for religious culture, the
great means offered by the United States, the
most fertile of all countries, all natural ia
cilities the best. and the form of government
the nearest perfect, all came in for share of
the young and eloquent orators attention.
His peroration was 1--WE offer profession to
all who may come with peaceful intentions" I"
Our policy: 'Do. and due just, )" and our
aim to make purer and more peaceful peo-
pie; to live in harmony with the laws and &C.
complish all things by Courage, Not by
Craft" Then may we be thankful to oul
God; who so wisely guarded our actions of
the past, is guiding us in the present, and
will direct us in the future" gssgsaB
