Leaf by leaf the roses fall,


Drop by drop the spring runs dry!
One by one beyond recall,


Summer beauties fade and die;
But the roses bloom again,


And the spring will gush anew,
In the pleasant April rain,


And the summers sun and dew.
So in hours of deepest gloom,


When the springs In gladness faIl,
And the roses in the bloom,


Droop like maidens wan and pale
Shall we find some hope that lies
Like silent gem apart,
Hidden far from careless eyes,
In the garden of the heart.
Some sweet hope to gladness wed,
That will spring afresh and new;
When griefs winter shall have fed;
Giving place to rain and dew
Some sweet hope that breathes of spring,
Through the weary, weary time,
Budding for its blossoming


In the spirits glorious cline.

At the conclusion Of Governor Letch-
er's address, the cadets were brought in
front of the stand and General Smith ad-
dressed them on the subject OF their
studies, the discipline of the school, and
the spirit aud sentiments, and moral and
social obligations which should govern
their conduct. This address cannot fail
to exert happy influence upon the STU
dents now opening new career lor the
Institute under political condition of
their country exacting new duties and i'm
posing new obligations upon them.


GENERAL SMITHS ADDRESS.


General Smith, in addressing the corps
of cadets, said


In the good providence Of God We are
once more permitted to meet under our
own "roof tree" and to resume the exer-
cises OF the Institution in the cherished
home of the cadet. The very spot on
which We stand to-day is consecrated to
lis bv the memories of heroes who are
living and heroes who have died. From
Won parade ground marched our own Jack
son in command of the corps OF cadets, at
the call of his country and for his coun-
try's sake. Here Rodes, and Garland, and
Crutchfcld, and one hundred and twenty
five others of our alumni who have fallen
in battle were nurtured and equipped for
their patriotic duty. Here, then, amidst
associations so precious to us We would
catch the inspiration from their example,
and enter upon the work before us un,
dannted by the difficulties which surround
us and resolute in the purpose that, God
being our Helper, the Iayiaia -Mutdry
Institute shall be fully restored to all lis
former lus!re. s''


The General then gave an entertaining
sketch Of his career as cadet at tho West
Point Academy, which he entered thirty
seven years since. The first lesson he learned
at that institution and the importance OF
which he impressed upon the audience OF
young cadets, was "the consciousness OF
personal responsibility" This great lesson
his "personal responsibility" as founded
upon individual action" first Impressed
upon him on entering hts military life as q
cadet, had been daily renewed as that life
progressed, and was still before him In

he, was the lesson before bis young audi,
