tee, has been here for two or three days
past. She is the famous Anna Eliza
Young. Mrs. Brigham Young. No. II.

some 30. some 30 and some 100 fold

combat that kind of reform" He
says the mines pay twice as much as
they should now.

The use Of soft coal in the furnaces

The High School, under the supervision of
Prof. John Beck, prin., and Miss Mayme

Beck has been with us a number of years
and should remain many more as he is well
qualified for the position and has always Civ
en- the best of satisfaction.
Thelclose of this term completes Miss
Seys' first year with the Napoleon schools.
The time is short, but sufficiently long for her
amiable disposition and ability in her pro-
fession, to ingratiate herself within the
hearts of her pupils. In fact, she is gener-
al favorite, and that she will compose one of
the corps of teachers the following, year, is
the sincere wish of all.
Both gentlemen of the class we're dressed in
the conventional black, cheviot. 1t was re-
m arked by many the ease, grace and ell
oquence with which their orations were de-
livered.
The productions were all orations and the

Miss Coover was very becomingly dressed
in costume of amethyst Lansdom with

A CLASS OF TEN, THE LARGEST
FOR YEARS
That Has Graduated from the Napo-

DO THEMSELVES PROUD BEFORE A
CROWDED AUDIENCE 0F FRIENDS +:
ASSEMBLED AT THE RINK,
To Witness the Workmanship of Our
Public Institution of Learning-the
First Stopping Point in the Life
OF Our Studiously Inclined
Young People.

With what anticipation does the pupil,
whether he be a member of our common
schools or our greatest colleges, look into the
future and build up little air-castles for
graduation Partly are these thoughts al
loyed with feeling of dread, but quickly re-
placed with one of pride and satisfaction
when he considers that this day eliminates
the labor of years; that he is about to launch
his bark, made seaworthy by his own labors,
upon the troublesome and treacherous wa
ters of life, which, to safely ride above their
surface, means success and the plaudits of
them he most desires-his fellows.
Then again, what tender memories of for
mer associations-of teachers and pupils
rush upon the postgraduate at the mention
of Commencement" Perhaps their is no
other word in our language that has IN ore
power over the emotions of the graduate
than this; and we'll it might. The term
has common interest, not only with those
directly concerned, for the public itself feels
that in class of graduates it can claim a
share of the pride always attendant. For

posed of our best musical talent. All of
their music during the evening was ighly
appreciated.
An Invocation by Rev. M. L. Donahey was
followed by second selection of the orches-
ira.

Under Currents.

A portion of this theme partook somewhat
of the narrative and was most highly inter-
esting and instructive. It demonstrated the
cogency of that which lies beneath the sur
face, which, although not visible to the eye,
is found by careful search. Her portrayal of
the recent wreck of the Aguan in the Carib-
bean sea. wherein a huge work of man was
hurled upon a reef and wrecked by'an invisi
BILE, though none the less potent current, was
vivid and partook at times both of the SUBJ
lime and beautiful. But Matte proved by
many facts in natural history, that undercur-
rents do not always connIve for the ill-will of
mankind or destruction of other elements.
For instance, seeds are transplanted to the
antipodes, thus converting barren and desert
islands into verdant and populated gardens;
countries which from their latitude would be
cold and uninhabited, rejoice in a salubrious
climate, made so by baImy bree zes, waited
over the land from some friendly neighbor-
ing current. consisting of waters flowing up
from the tropics and still retaining their
warmth.
Then again hidden influence not only guide
the welfare of individuals and matter, but of
nations. For example, the currents that car
ried the Catholics migrating from Spain in
1865 to florida instead of Maine; events of a
like nature with the Puritans; the sudde
rise of the rivers in the retreat of Gen. Gree n,
the fog that saved the American army after
the battle of Long Island,-all were provi-
Dental and cIassed with the omnipoten ce o
currents beneath and apart from the direct
action and force of humanity
After branching off on things spiritual and
Divine, she closed her successful and appre-
ciated Grafton with, "Yet still the undercu r.
rent that rules the world is God, for, He was,
is, and is to come, first, midst and last
"God is law, say the wise, and let us re-
joice,
For if he thunder by law, the thunder is
yet his voice; 49,
Speak to him, thou, for he hears, and
spirit with spirit may meet
Closer is he than breathing, and nea rer
than hands and feet"

Commencement Afterbears.

The class of '91, presented finer appear
ance on the stage than all prior ones.
The stage was not elaborately decorated
still the decorations, when combined with
tile occupants of the stage met the approval
of our best students of aesthetics.
One new departure, and a highly commen-
dable one, was the omission of the distri.
button of presents, while on the stage. A
certain pomp and ostentation was thereby
yoided that has been ex ceedingly distaste.
to many for years.

There Was an Old Woman who Ltv ed
in Shoe.
GALE QRWIG.

GALE uRWIG.
With his text ever in sight, Gale dealt old
England some sledge hammer blows on he
iniquitous modes of government which have
characterized her since the days of Alfre d.
But he spoke more frankly and at NOR Q
length of her nefarious grasping and arbitrary
conduct towards the United States. She was
the mother-we were the oldest son-she at
tempted the spanking business but, as was set
forth in the grafton it panned out dismal
failure.
Great Britain's manner of holding her
many possessions was tersely described in
the words, "She made them some broth and
gave them some bread and spanked them all
soundly and sent them to bed.o Says the
graduate:' "Yes. England's treatment was
too harsh and her most grateful though
strongest child threw off the yoke of a par
ent'scar and entered upon the threshold of
existence, with its own resources as basis,
determining to show her mother an excelle mt
example which has since become noted.
In the mean time her other children
looked silently on and waited the outco me
when the mothers slipper, or England's un-
conquered army should greet the eyes of her
wayward child. But they soon saw that its
stability had almost all been expended and
that it was unable to bear the, brunt of forci-
BILE existence. Since then the old lady has
grown more careful of her treatment towards
her children, but she still remains despotic--
yet is partial towards some.
Let England take care to obey the advice
given by her overseer, Gladstone, and not go
to war with other countries, or her. remain :
ing children will take this opportunity to de-
part from her, one by one, as their resou rces
expand and they see their impositions heaped
and increased. "Let her behold who has
brought weak and dependent child to a
mighty and rivaling parent. And as her
eyesight fades and the objects sink beneath
the horizon, let the departing wave of our
precious flag show to her in golden letter RS
what has made and preserves us nation"

The victor and His Victory.

GRoRG1ARA KNUPP.
among the many qualities placed in the
human soul by that kind old mother-Nature-
one of the strongest is the desire to conquer"
her Grafton began. She averred that this
quality, though naturally strong, is regulated
entirely by cultivation, without which it may
cease to exist. The victor must possess the
elements of victory, the first among which
she thought is perseverance. Excellence is
never granted to man, but as the reward of la
Dor. It shows indeed no small siren 9Th of
mind to persevere in the habits of industry"
She referred to Demosthsnes as the persona
fcation of this trait, and had he not been hap
by in its possession, the world would have lost
one of its greatest orators.
"Strange as it may seem, one of the greatest
aids to success is defeat. There never was
great general who has not suffered defeat,
and, being wise man, these defeats became
one ofhis aids to victory"
"But what are all these victories compar ed
with one-the greatest which exists-the VIC
tory over self. Alexander could conquer the
legions of Persia, but he could not conqu er
his passions. Caesar triumphedi in hundreds
of battles, but he fell victim to his desir of
being q king. Napoleon vanquished nearly
the whole of Europe, but he could not subdue
his own ambitions" Here followed a very
beautiful account of Napoleon's career, fin al
ly landing him on the desert isle of Helena
great man conquered by his own passions. :.
He could fight and conquer the world with
the assistance of the Grand Army, but ''in the
victory over self there was no aid," and h 9
failed.
All ofthis Grafton evinced great thought
and proclivity for research that is remarka-
BILE, even in one of mature years. Georgi a
has been student of rare ability and appli-
cation, and with these two, success to her is
certain.

Those Who Save a Portion of Their
Earnings, Are Sure to Prosper.
Charles Dickens, who was a
great student of human nature,
in his "David Copperfeld"
makes MIR. Micauber observe:
eff a man had 20 pounds a
year for his income, and spent
10 pounds, 19 shillings and 81
pence, he would be happy; but
ifhe spent 20 pounds and one
farthing, he would be misera-
ble." The truth of,sthis quaint
ly expressed warning is every
day shown by the happy re-
suits which come to those, who
from their earnings however
small-are able and willing to
7lay by a portion for future
day. This habit has laid the
foundation for many a fortune,
and proved of inestimable val
ue in time of need, aud those
who have practiced buying
their wall decorations, window
curtains, paints, oils, varnishes
and brushes Of Saur & Balls
ley, are willing to testify that
they have been able to deco
rate and repaint their homes as
well as their neighbors and still
have enough to eventually
place them in easy circumstan-
ces. If YOU are not now
customer, better become one
at once and you will soon see
how easy it is to solve the
problem ''How to save money"
1t is simply remarkable
what fine wall paper can be
bought for very little money.
Tt is now possible to paper an
entire house with elegant and
artistic paper and yet not ex-
pend an unnecessary and ex-
horbitant sum. The display of
unique and novel patterns in
wall paper made by Saur & Balls
ley, is the admiration of all who
have looked at it. It is astock
to please everybody.
No intending buyer Of wall
paper can afford to overlook
this large stock, which con-
tains three patterns to every
one shown by all others COM
bined in this locality. This is
a fact that can readily be es-
tablished by a visit to their
store.
Saur & Balsley's paints and
oils have an established repu-
tation. They are known as
the best the market affords and
sold as cheap, if not cheaper,
than inferior goods. Brighten
up your houses by applying
some of these paints and you
not only make your homes at
tractive, but a thing Of beauty
and comfort.
Then again, examine their
line of drugs and patent medi-
cines, and see if it does not
compare favorably with any of
d similar nature in the North
west. This house is a very OLE
one, and years Of buying have
brought to hand all drugs and
patent medicines of any note.
Their drugs are pure, and are
open for analysis.
The Book and Stationery
