FROM VARIOUS PARTS OF THE COUNTY.
lantic County Public Schools was q sue
cess. 1t was held Friday evening last in
Red Mems Hall, Pleasantville, beginning
at O'Clock.
The graduates took their parts in a
creditable manner.
Long before the curtain rose, parents
and friends from all parts of the county
had assembled to hear these young people
deliver their essays. There were fully 500
people present. Rev. Mr.. Larew opened
the exercises with a short and appro-
pirate prayer, after which a pretty Sc
lection was rendered by the orcestra-
"Angels Serenade."
Scott Long, of this place, captured sec
ond honors. In bright and noble man.
ner he welcomed all in honor of the
class of '95.
Miss Amanda Morse, OF Mays Landing,
with her class prophecy elected applause
and Miss Clara Hewitt as valedictorian
showed careful study in the arrangement
OF her essay.
The annual address was made BY
Prof. Edwyn Leibfreed. His remarks
abounded with words of announcement
and good feeling. He spoke of life and
it's opportunities. He advised his young
hearers who stood on the threshold Of
the world to study to the end and never
to miss chance to improve their minds.
Education as subject is inexhaustible
Sacrifice all for it, almost health. He
commented on the larger number of
girls than boys who graduated and pre-
dicted bright future for them. When it
comes to their voting, he said, the ballots
they cast will be clean and pure. Their
wills are stronger than mems. Educa-
tiOn and the soul are twins-cultivate
the former and the latter will soar up to
the skies in its beauty and purity, for
education will quell and put to flight all
evil; vice is committed in ignorance.
His address was interspersed with
laughable incidents and the audience
enjoyed it heartily. Although young Mr..
Leibfreed shows a brilliant mind and
much ability as public speaker.

titled Arnold the Traitor" in an able
manner.

Wise Words.

Be deaf TO unjust criticism.
Keep your secrets to yourself.
Newspapers are the best statesmen.
Men view life from their own cx-
perience.
Economy may be as unwise as ex-
travagance.
1t is a great thing to know how to
take a hint.
Our motive power is always found
in what we lack.
Humor is one of the most deceit
full things in the world.
The most unsatisfactory thing in
the world is the weather.
Those who really deserve success
rarely fail to achieve it.
A thoroughly equipped lawyer is
always q close law student.
Love often makes man miserable,
but it very seldom kills him.
When good seed is sown, the bet
ter the ground the better the crop.
1t generally takes blockhead a
good while 10 find out what ails him.
When there are thousand reasons
for anythings there is seldom one
good one.
Men dislike details, and women are
never content with mere statements
Of fact.
A man never learns how to step on
the tack of adversely with comfort
to himself.
The more money other people
make the better chance you will have
to make some.

What ID q Model Wife.


Who makes friends and keeps
them.
Who has learned that a soft an
swer turns away wrath.
The woman whose Hitchcock has
love written on every page.
She is the woman in whom the
heart of her husband doth safely
trust.
Who keeps her sweetest smiles and
most loving words for her husband.
Who is sympathetic in joy or in
grief, and who finds work for her
hands to do.
Who is not made bitter by trou-
BILE, but who strengthens and sweet
ems under it.
Who knows that the strongest ar
gument is her womanliness, and so
she cultivates it.
Who respects the rights OF hus-
hand and children, and in return has
due regard paid to her.
Who tries to conceal the faults of
her husband rather than blazon them
forth TO an uninterested public.
Who is confident in sorrow or in
joy, and who does not feel the neces-
sity of explaining her private affairs
to the neighborhood.
Who makes a home for a mana
home in house and in a heart. A
home that he is sure of, home that
is full of love presided over by ono
whose price is above rubies. She is
the model wife.
