After the officers .hkI participants lisd been j escorted in, Miss Mary Millar, President for t!>e occasion, arose, and with much ease and grace bade them welcome to the lla.ll and the j pleasures of the occasion. She expressed uludness that the ox- reives had attracted such ! a:i audienceof relinenieiit and culture. Those! who have hefore attended knew that- the admonition, "be to their f.uilts a little blind," ! w,i< useless. Tlere was before her a svpa- j thlzlui; not a criticizing audience. 111 h'.ngu-:ge chaste. tli<; Valedictorian, Miss .f'-nnl" Edwards, desired that those who j won!.I hj iji be member* of the Society sliould , ! increase their interest In its welfare and keep I its record as bright an over.

Those that will have their places to till may find it difficult, but they have before them the example of the j Senior Class to cheer t'.ietn In their work. 1 The most important event of the evening next upon tl?' programme was the delivery of the medals. This was done by Miss Jennie Grior, in a forcible yet elegant manner, and j taking "Per aupcra art auyu.\ta" ns her theme,' she gave words of encouragement both to the successful and unsuccessful The following, young ladles were the fortunate competitors' for the medals : I'est clcl-ater in the Junior Class, Miss Knnlct; Hell; honorable mention, Misses MattleStrong and Little Brice ; best essayist In the Soph more Class, Miss Maggie, Caldwell; honorable mention.

C>n Wednesday morning, seated n one of Messrs. A. M.

At ten o'clock the exercises were commenced. President CSricr welcomed the audience In a few graceful and cordial words, and hoped that the exercises would be a pleasant episode In the daily pursuits of the life of those who bad assembled here to-day. He then announced that the Rev. Dr. Adams would open the exercises with prayer 1 ?r. Adams said : Almighty (Jod, we would invoke Thy prosonce niid blessing a' this time. We would pray for the assistance of Tliy Holy Spirit that we may lie endowed with that reverence of mind, Hint purity of heart, ami that earnest.;, ess of purpose which shall b? acceptable and pleasing in Thy slulit. We ask Thee to aid the work of education in this village,and logranta blessing to those who have undertaken the discharge of that |iivrli and responsible duty. We would beseech TheeO Lord our (!od to look with loving favor upon this assembled audience, while we would iisk a blessing Tor cadi one of us, as wo may individually need. We would pray Thee our Father, especially to bless the students in these Colleges,nnd we would look toTliec to guide and direct all persons entrusted with the education of the young. We look to Thee for every blessing. We wait for Thy presence. We acknowledge our indebtedness toThcc for nil the irood that is within us, and we thank Thee for Thy grace as manifested in Thy son our hold and Saviour Jesus Christ. Amen.

President Grler now announced that he would deliver the Diplomas which bad been awarded to the graduates by the Fac. ulty and the Board of Trustees. Each of the young men came forward as his name was eatieu, received ins parcumeiu, dowcu nis thanks, and withdrew to his seat. President (irler, then rend: Youny Gcntlcuwn: Old chroniclers tell us that every Anglo-Saxon youth on reaching his manhood received, with something of ceremony, a spear and shield. These were his significant heirloom. These wero thesymbois of his full equipment for the work 'of life. This ancient ceremony of n race, whose blood flows in our veins, reveals the ideal life of that rugged age witli its tierce and savage struggles, wliii its right of might and its sovereignty of brute force. This scene of to day marks the wide Interval In time and the equally wide interval In progress between usand our early ancestors. The former scene Is typical of the iron age,this latt6rof tlicgolden period when 6words are beaten Into plough-shares and spears Into pruning hooks. We have now placed into your bauds these Inst testimonials. They bear upon them the names ot t he Professors and the seal of the College. What is the significance of this act? Is this niere pageantry? Is it a mere ceremonv with which we hope to entertain this audience? Or, more than that. Is It simply an expression ol kind regards and good wishes? What, wc repeat, 1h the significance by the presentation of Diplomas ? It does not signify that you are finished scholars. The range of your Investigation I" ' " I ha? been limited hy the very necessities of the ! case. Thi' study of a few yearn devoted to va-1 rlous brandies doc* notcontomplale extended i and thorough acijimintancc with tlio.sedetails t \\ liich are the special dlstlnc'lon of eminent ' scholarship. Take I In- single department of j 1 natural science. When remember how vast this lie I'J in what wonders of Chemistry,! Geology and KoIhii.v lie concwilcd In eve.-/' -lull, lock ami ti'iwer, when you remember f :lifit e.iilnei.l hp'-enllsts luive de\o!> d a lifej time of unrcmiltl.ng study to a shnrleoin: of! ; the.-e departments II is eert.'r.tily nothing to; ynurdlticre lit to say that you have just learn-' led the alphabet ol these and other sciences. < ' That Itseif is no small attainment, lie who! I knows thoroughly the alphabet of the Knir-l | lisli language may re vel in the vast troisnres i : of Its litcialttre, and hold eommunioti with ! !!ho>e master spirits that, still rule us Iroin ; their tins. So lie who has u astercd the first ! j principles, the treat underlying truths of our I i < -ollege course, while far from being a finished j scholar has the materialsat hand which lie! may use lor the gmndesl, m:bl<.st ends I However high may he tins opinion which J I V">u cnleitain of your own attainments, what-! I ever may he Hi- exp'-etation of friends who | ! rejolee this day in your deserved honors, (mio j ol the first lessons you will certainly learn , i when y?>u pass out of lhe*c halls will he the! 1 meaut'etiess of vour knowledge. A painful I sense of I his deficiency Is one of the freshest, keenest feelings of a. modest graduate. Only Mi'iliiiie iunornnce and invincible Indolence delude themselves with the idea that a Diplo-l ma is' the itapp.v finale of hard study and j mental toil. The wise student, whether ol see- j ; tilsir or Uivme inings "kiihwk iinv.njs i urn : I there is another world ol' (munificent splen- j : >r lying still outside the utmost ?liKferni ?!?.* | *tar,'" and thai in the great, school of truth i there is no such tiling sis graduation, Kvcry i step forward only widens the grand prospect j and discovers vast stretches of landscape i which 110 mortal vision can sweep. | Again: A Piploma Is not a passport to po| si t ion, nor the pledge of a livelihood. I'arch; ment is too cheap and idle graduates are too numerous to command either |>lace or pelf. {Society has learned that there Is no magic in j : the ml t/rmltthi Jtiwctil-iurfi. Von iimy lament the cold, calculating, prae-j Ileal spirit nf our times, hut he sure there is j I no discernment so sharp and so unsympa! thetie as that which judges of our capacity to (io the work which the world asks lo he : j done. Your scholarship, your habits of in-, I duslry and carefulness, your willingness to do j t he task assigned, all these are not matters of\ i sentiment. No testimonials of individuals or' corporations can substitute real strength of' I character niiil the solid virtues of honesty. !i-] dellty and truthfulness, lie therefore who j makes hisliipioma his reliance will find no place open to iiim in the active competition* [ ot trade ami business, lie will nev<-r he call-; eil for and all his solicitations will fall on ears i that are closed. j Hut these testimonials are not. without their | I value and significance. They announce a ter-1 | initiation loa period of privilege find special] opportunity. You arc reminded not only that ; nionlhsnml years have swept by you. hut that! they were freighted with richest treasure. It: I Is solemn enough to sober the most thought-1 ; less to take a final leave of a season so pre-; jcious and so influential in shaping and j j moulding character. Yon may have seen i i somewhere thai splendid pas-age of ISnrke In j j which lie speaks of the old religious factions J as "volcanoes burnt out. On the lava and J ashes ami squalid science of old eruptions j crow the peaceful olive, the cheering vine and i [the sustaining corn." So, without straining i the image, we may say to you, let there grow | I out of tho dead past, with its remembered I ; failures and Its partial successes such a hus-l jbandryof resolveand purpose as shall benutl-j . fv and bless thatnew life upon which you this day enter. And thus that old riddle which so ; puzzled the Philistines shall receive another I ; tult) 11ment for out of the carcass there shall' j conic lortli the sweetness of honey. Another thought: These Diplomas are] j something more than a reward of merit, i They are something more than a reward for j ' past diligence. They look forward as well as | backward. They are your high commission ! ; as apostles of truth, virtue and excellence. I , They are your formal investiture with cllizcn' ship in the republic of letters. While you arc j no Kniirhts-crrant, making war upon imagi-i I nary wrongs, you are pledged by all the ad-1 ! vnntages which you have enjoyed and by all i the attainments yon have made, to a resolute | regard for whatever helps humanity in lis | ' fierce battle with sin and mi-ery. This is the j great practical business of every man, but es-; Ipeeiaiiyof those who are educated. This is | something us in licit a novo mo si-nn men liiuij or the cheap reformer ns tlie personal labors I ! of si Howard In filthy prisons and plaguei stricken hospitals are heroic above those oil the novelist, who. in slipperntul gown. behind ; silk curtains, resting In an easy chair, de-1 | scribes scenes of suffering with which he has ; j never come in contact. In fulfilling this high commission you will need to cultivate the I quiet virtues of patient continuance in well-' doing and a ready sympathy with the weary j find heavy-laden. Above all yon will need 'that strength found alone in the everlasting] arms. "There may yet be for you struggle; and suffering, the darkness and the. storm. | There ma.v be weeping which shall endure for . a night, but strong In a divine might joy shall i come in the morning u morning without) j clouds, the morning of an eternal day." Commending you to that Almighty aid ami ' congratulating you upon that wide and varied j Held of usefulness which lies before you, we . bid you u "farewell ' of earth, with the earnest I longing In behalf of every one of you for a j I "welcome" In that city which hath founda- j 1 lions. ! When lie had concluded his speech, i President (trier announced that, the exercises ; were now finished until after a recess of two ; i hours. As had been customary on such occa- j ! slotis, the best was saved to the last. The an- i 1 ill ve.'sary oration would be delivered In this! Hall, upon the re-assembling of the audience, j . two hours from that time. President Grieri I then paid a nice compliment to the orator the j | Hon. W. M. ltob'jlns, of North Carolina, and j I time was called for the reccss. Afternoon. In lieu of anything that we might say of the anniversary oration, we copy the following; ! from the lifukinr Student: i Hon W. M. Itobbins was felicitously Intro-! dnccd b>*l)r. Orier. The < 'rator spoke upon i I the work to be done by Southern young men. He noticed thegood and the bad ol our former j j Southern civilization. He spoke of our duty | to our new South. He Inspired hope, while \ he dwelt at some lengt h over the dark features t.i.i ir^. .....I-,. ,.r 11... ,,t our frep country. lie chiefly pointed out. by' many felicitous Illustrations t.he duty of edu! en ted youth, lie* closed with the; grand wish ! that iaeh one might develop intu a man?:i . true man. i The orator made a lasting impression, and we regret that wu have not space enough to ' attempt a synopsis of his speech. We were j sorry to see him sit down, and we shall lonjjj remember his genial fate and bright, win-, I nlng siniic. 1 i Evening. I (ireally to tiie regret of all parties the ; Alumni Orator, Hew P. G.

With what success.beachieved this fond dc-j sire of his heart, may best be inferred from I the growing patronage and Influence of the [ College which he did so much to e.stahlisd: j the aide corps of assistants whom he collect-! ed around him,and who have now proved' their ability in carrying forward, with even increasing success, the work so auspiciously j begun,as well a< from the number of edu-, uated women who go forth annually from j these classic halls, to fill the various positions j of noble woinenhood through all the land.; This ileiimnslral inn wit li al I t hese floral oiler lugs, attest his success more than words; yea, j !iiid will attest it, as long as that marble motiunient shall stand to record your affection ami esteem of the man who did so much for| woman; unit long after oilier good and great i men shall have imitated his example, and j rested from their work In the totalis of the mighty deul; yea,even when that bright shaft itself shall have heen defaced or crumbled Into dust, before the rude hand of time, the influence* for good, which have started ! here, .shall roll nti and on, over land and sea, mingling with llie tides of other fountains and streams of learning to ameliorate human woe and bless mankind. The actions of the good and great, like the pure spirits before the throne, never die. "The righteous man's memorial shall everlasting prove." Already a thousand educational ccnters, under the fostering care of this institution and of this Alumtije sisterhood, have started forth i n tlieir mission of love and mercy to widen the circle of blessings until it shall reach the most distant shore. I tlnd them wherever I go, and even read of them in history and song. An educated woman is ever the mistress of the situation. I followed one of tho>-c educated here, at least in part, under the lamented Dr. l!onn"r, across continents and seas, and whether in the art galleries of London or Naples, amid tlie snows of the Alps or thesandsof Africa, amid the ruins of Pompeii or tanning the fevered brow of pain.beside the dying Copt, whether in lift4 on a Nile boat or ascending the great pyramids of Kgypt, and sitting down with Tayl trandsmylh, the royal astronomers of Scotland, to nna-yze the great problem involved In the construction of the pyramids, she proved herself to be an educated scholarly woman, more than aprlucess of royal blood. She sleeps, however, on the field of missions. And they tell me she left her crown Jewels to loving lianas; that they are here, to lie entrusted finally to yon, to tie taught in the same school in which she was taught, Guard well that sacred trust and bear those jewels near your heart. Others, too. as good and as true perhaps, fillins wide and important stations, have also slept their lasl sle>*pand now rest from their labors. And still they die, and soon, very soon, we all shall die and Join their classes In heaven, where we will find the Marys and John, with all the beloved disciples, sitting at th" feet of Jesus or standing 011 the glassy sea with the harps of Hod In their handsand iheir crowns of glory on their Iwiids. Then adieu, a fond adieu, until we meet them there. I)r. (irier pronounced the benediction, and the assembled people dispersed.

While hundreds of yonng men have enne to Due West to receive collegiate educations, yet the above cold recital of facts can* at most, only (jive the reader n faint idea of the excellence of these colleges, or the benefits which they dispense. There is much which does not appear there. 'J he influence of these Institutions upon those who live within their radius is as Imperceptible anil as certain as Is tliat of the vivifying dews that fall upon the sweetest hud or flower, or that descends upon the coarsest of the plant creation. Delicate and sweet, strong and coarse, alike are affected* So the pure and go.id, the vicious and wayward alike are subject to the impalpable in- i IIuences of these colleges, by which our boys :iml girls are led unconsciously to strive for higher attainments, and to seek that purer rind higher life which shall bless mankind.; I'll esc facts arc proven by the sneers* which lias so often followed the efforts of so many poor boys and girls who lived at that place in Ihe years that arc gone. Whether they had the advantages of a scholastic course or not,) they had the presence and example of the learned and able teachers who resided there.'

Iiave achieved, Tlie exercises in Krskine College on Weilneslay were such as to satisfy the most ambitious faculty, and could not have fulled to ' please the most exacting public. The manner fif llie young gentlemen of the gradualIng! elass was all that their best friends could, ivish, and tiie matter of their speeches was. entirely unobjectionable.

In the Commencement, exercises of tlie Female College the best evidence of the worth ind excellence of that institution was fur-J Dished. The style and general make-up of [he programme, and the grace, and protielen;y, and ease with which the whole was executed was proof positive. The music, the1 painting, and tlie essays were all of the high-. est order. Iu tlie music all were delighted, and we ivouId speak especially of the great admiiation which was expressed by everybody for, that part of tlie exercises. If we may be par-! :loued for mentioning only one piece among1 <o imuiy, we would say thai "Jesus Lover of. My Soul," was universally admired, and | touched a responsive cord in every heart. Miss f.eUal's musical accomplishments and j mastery of tlie languages, together with her sweetness of song, and hor earnest asss and teal, in the discharge of her duties, make | tier a teacher with few equals and no supe-' riors. The attendance on both Wednesday and Thursday was large, and the universal verdict lias been that this is the best Commencement that has ever been held at J>ue West. It real-! |y seems to us that these Institutions have! Attained the liidlest degree of exeolleneo. j The good order for whleh these occasions ire remarkable Is one of the best evidence of l.he good influence of these institutions.; People from every station in life feel an Inter est lii those exorcises ami always no ukm-u m Ihfir best behavior, as if the ground whereon I hoy stood was holy ground.
