was silent. She was in the presence of
man whose genius she had worship
ped since she was old enough to ap-
prostate the significance of art.
That very morning she had tarried,
as was her wont, to admire one of his
masterpieces in the public square. She
was overawed, humbled, Inundated,
and suddenly conscious that she was
the victim of imposition. Resentment
was in the flashing eyes she turned to

her lips to be hushed by Sancho' S
entrance.

His position defined, talk soon sped
merrily, though Miss Boynton could
not forget the proximity of the bonmst

turned to plastic art.

Only one grave is inclosed by posts and

young sail-maker of Brooklyn, who died
In 1860. The marble slab is surmounted
by an urn, and it has as a border the
representation of piece of bolt rope. It
was erected as "a token OF respect to his
memory by his friends"
Side by side are the bodies Of six seamen

boilers of the double ender Chenango in

burial services were conducted on the
lawn in front Of the hospital in the pres

SOUTHERN CHRISTIAN COLLEGE.

For many years there has been
felt the need of a school, located
in Nashville and conducted by the
Christian Church, for the higher
education Of girls and young ladies'.
A few prominent men have been
laboring to this end, as opportunity
would offer, for more than FIVE
years. During last May Elders w.
R. Lloyd and R. Lin Cave, believ-
ing that the time had come for
realization Of these long cherished
hopes, renewed the work with great
energy.
These efforts have resulted, at
last, in the organization Of CON-
pany with acapital stock Of $25, 900
and the purchase Of the magnif-
cent home Of the late Chancellor
Allison, situated at the corner of
Tenth and Woodland streets. The
place is well adapted to such a
school.
1t is in the midst of one of the
most beautiful and refined suburbs
of the city.
The elegant brick buildings are
near the center of large lawn
shaded by maple, blackberry, mag
nolia, spruce and other forest and
ornamental trees.
There is abundance of pure els
tern water, and, through the kind
ness of friend and neighbor, the
pupils have access to one Of the
finest sulphur wells in Tennessee.
The cars on two different lines
pass the gates every four or FIVE
minutes.
The fall term will begin Wednes-
day, Sept. I6, under the direction
of experienced and efficient teach
ers.
The boarding department will be
under the immediate supervision of
President and Mrs. Surber, who
will endeavor to give the young
ladies, placed in their care, the ad-
vantages Of school and the comforts
of home.
1t will be the constant endeavor
of the officers in charge to furnish
all the advantages of thorough
and finished education.
