Carlisle, esident of Wofford College, addressed cam e students upon the ants LIFE AND CHARACTER OF SAUL. ie address was an hour long; it was a e of the finest efforts we have ever had tened to, and was peculiarly appro- to si iate to young men in distinguishing to : tween impulse and character. No at- ber, mpted synopsis can do justice to the mar dress; yet we will endeavor, to give s ahort sketch of ft. The speaker be-, and ,n by saying that while walking along railroad that traverses his town a few ing ys ago he noticed a white post by the and la of the track and on it a large "W." iking a friend its meaning. he replied Stol at it meant for the engineer to blow e whistle at this point. It means that far all is right; but ahead there is r in a ossing or something else that calls for in a re and caution-drawing a striking mparison between that circumstance was Ad this Commencement era in a young Rev an's life. He touched upon the sali- C, t features in Saul's character, and rela )m these drew some important les- Del ns.. The first was that puri )OD IMPUI3ES DO NOT MAKE GOOD sho CSARLCTER. mpulse is something that strikes one n om without; character is engraved in s ithe heart. Saul was a ypon man good impulses; he was modest ah ost to a fault. In the strong, beant}ful st$p id simple language of the Old Testa- her ent, be was "a choice young man, and him goodly." i Fronde says that what students learn poi am their lessons is not one-half of nist hat they carry away from college: the e greater part they learn from each her. I congratulate you on the good r >panionship you have enjoyed. It ge impossible to estimate the influence gen one student over another-not only no < morals and religion, bat in cpndupt cd life generally. It is said of David tent id Jonathan that "David went into mar e woods and strengthened the hands his friend in God". It is the com rnion of that kind that yon will re- met ember and cherish in after life, more fol< an him whose brilliant intellect and Pre intllations of genius are talked of a- den nod the table an4 ja yopr societies C. r years. It is a critcal time In the J.l is of.a country boy when he strikes a the llege: it makes his blood tingle with cho pirations, and puts a new heart in at tl m-not always a good heart. He Efir y go back to his home unfitted for fppional life or for usefulness any- met here, ani asbaap4 pf the humble pa- t nts whose self-denial gave -him suph p-e and privileges. Saul said what few PoE me been willing to say-"I have ard ayed the fool and erred exceedingly". Tre bat shows his impulses. Reading one Fac apter of Froude's description of Car- of 'le one might say, What defect canPr re be in this man?-reading the fol- Ad1 ing phapter he .would ask, What gre >od can thre bemi hing Susp rapn as Saul. The naming of his chlren H.g tows how impulsive he was-one he ies ould name in honor of God, another Ka honor of some idol. One was asked )W long he had been a Christian, and reply was "Off and on, for twelve bef< ars"-not a lovely type. Saul's reli- kos png mpuseswer e strong, but super- da5 ire; i family rejected and disip- pur~ rnited; himself cast down and destroy- occ , and Samuel weeping over his ruin ten -yet Saul was a young man of good pIe; spulses. Another lesson to be learned ops om the character of Saul is that He SE MASTER ?PASSION MAY SPOIL AND to 1 DERANGE A PROMISING LIFE, eE ml was not avaricious or cruel; his anc ,ulps were envy, jealousy and b anc per. Hle was intempepate, in ph i igher sense of that tel m. The late m r. Holland relate that in some coun- w y you find a nicely constructed road,ne t no wheelbarrow nor buggy will g y pon it; again you find a wagon, and she appears to be altogether useless-butan ie road and the wagon are exactly fit- fu d to each other. A part of a young b an's nature is fitted for religious life. e [en crowd round an engine when it niz Bts th.e track and gaze upon it-he Lany of them 'are as much of the track i the engine is. A colored man oncear id to a preacher, If you want to talk har > us about stealing and such things do w it it off until Monday; we want to ave a good time Sunday. Young men re asking that these serious talks be the it off-they are young, and want to Pr< ave a good time. Older men, In poll- fro s and business, are asking the same.ha al's religion dlid not touch deeply hissp tonal nature. We see men too often, anting in stability -and character, tiv hipped out in their professions or buui- nti ess, go home to make wife and chil- pIe ren miserable-to tyrannize over a vill ttle kingdom not even having the to rivilege of revolution. Arthur Help bel ys: "The happiness of the family may ser e inarred by th.e husband, but not ade; the woman makes it," We pan ot all be Davids or Samuels, but wepa n avoid being Sauls.

He did not an- it uce his subject; and his speech fur- h ed no clue to it. The speech bad u merit of being short. In other re- C ts it was a failure. And the fail- e, was wholly unneeessary; for the n teman evidently has ability and h e oratorical powers.

THE LITERARY ADDRESS re the Excelsior and the Phrena mian Societies was delivered Toes night by Col. John R. Abney, of mbia, bis subject being "The Fu Sof South Caroliua." The address rpied fifty-five ipinutes, and was lis, ad to throughout with interest and isure. A short (and imperfect) syn is is all that our space will admit. I said. that.South Carolina had much ~e proud of in her history. When i were forced- to :leave the hiomes the graves of their ancestors in the world they found freedom of thought liberty of opinion over here; many south Carolina. She passed through my vicissitudes until the revolution,. mn she responded to the call of a ghbor and joined her in resisting the iny of the mother country. Again appliedherself to the arts of peace, Sher institutions were the results of tful-minds:and virtuous hearts. Her Smen sat in the national councils, itheir influence was felt and recog- ( d. Again that neighbor's voice was rd, but this time in a tone so bitter 1 Sunre3dating that it gpaded her tq I sa; and she was laid low by thie Iron I id of . war. - Her institutions were( low-among these I do not include rery; it was an exotic, and its de iction none regret. Not only was State laid low; she was bound like >metheus, and her vitals were torn n her; the orphans of those who I perished in her defense were de iled; the homesteads of her people re taken by strangers; her legisla halls were filled. by tyrants igno ant and knavish, and the very Tem of Justice was made the bureau of any. Through all her sons clung er. The older men of the State who ong to the old school, and who pre ed her purity and inculcated the rciples of her exalted civilization are sig away. They might .have been ected to give up'In despair; hut not When hopes are thus withered it ard for the iudgment to control the rt; harder still when thus thwerted adapt oneself to the new order of rgs. When Athens was conquered se who did not flee were destroyed the sword. Those who dwell there not her people; they revere not her trious pst and they care not fpr hpr uire. We should rejoice that we are -e, and to the mannor born.' As to Swomen, history does not furnish a 5er picture than a South Carolina man battling with the vicissitudes of tune. In war she encouraged the n with as brave'words as ever fell n the lips of the women of Sparta. peace she has entered every pursuit re shle could aid her husband or port her children. Fortitude, par rice and hope nerve her for the task, : to-day she is the world's heroine. to her young men, those who hasve ined to their majority since the war v not been educated equally with re of the North apd of the old coun .In her youth the State has her ief hope: her future depends on them.. is is a crisis in our history. The tes of peace are clksed, but the ene is within our city. We must not ly build structures that wrill l4st all ie, but we must carry opr shields and ears while building. We are to build t for ourselves and our children only, t also for that enemy amongst us, o, led by evil counsels, would tear wn the structure as we build it up. e laely thought that we had come ito a state of peace and prosperity. If Ti re are disappointed in this far better I rould it be that, like .neas, we take ur fathers upon our shoulders and go da i search of a better country. But the at alladium of our liberty must be pro- in cted. Into the minds of the young th inst be instilled ideas and principles le iat arethesoul of duty,tbe inspiration of so )ought and the spring of action. What pi t done now will color our whole future. at1 'here are new issues to meet and a pu ew order of things to be wrought out. Pr fature has done mueh for South Caro- ra na, and has lavished upon her a cora- M ination of gifts that are unparalleled. s ou may search the world over and not of nd a higher type of people, and she c?n M oast of more teminine grace and beaunt tul an all Europe combined. It is sotnetliug tb rand to enjoy the liberty of citiz -nship. an ur forefathers left us a magnificent iuter- th ance; they fought against royalty and left ab very one of their descendants a prince. here is no barrier to promotion. All n iese are elements of a great and powerft.l fo uuntry. Our State is small in area, but if to :lly developed she will be great in power th' ad influence. Men make a country great ; ha ducation makes men great. There is no- an sing great on earth but man, and nothing a reat in man but mind. No one can see is zford and Cambridge and wonder at the le< wer of England-scarcel) twice as great a South Carolina, yet ruling 250,000,oO i sople. Germa'y's greatness is due to the in ucation, mental a:,d physical, that she ab ives to her people, in t.e kindergarten, i te gymnasium and the universitr. In the orth may be found something of this o uperior educat:on nuables tlhe North to g )pe successfully with the .bnth. The trt nuth once had the best educated men, but s is not so to-day. Hundreds of Northern n3 oung men after graduating at Harvard a ud Y:le spend three or four years in the wl nglish and German Universities. When su tese meet men from the South in the halla re; f Congress, in the warts of trade, and in ge very field of art and literature their power en ill be felt. They are so learned in finance av tat they control all the railroads and other in reat enterprises of the country ; so learned wt trade that they regulate the price of our na atton and of everything else; so learned th manufactures that they take the raw ma rial a;vay frpm ot;r fpler4id Tter power, take it up into goods and sell them to us >r whatever they choose to ask. To-day Wt ie granite for the Charleston jetties is be. ad tg shipped from New York, when nature an as placed in South Carolina an abundance Cc f granite of a superior quality. South "I arolina has the resources, but she needs de dcation, and of this the State should fur- gr ish the greater part She should provide pr igher schools, should foster the Colleges bl iat have done such noble work since the tb ar, and should make her Vniversity such M at its diplodia shoi'ld be as high a certifi ate of editcatiop as any in the Union. She re too poor to spend much money now ; but 0l er standard should be high, and she should or id for the services of eminent men, wheth- fe r they be native or foreign born. South P arolina has one of the finest linguists th t the country-and he is north of si he Potomac ; he should be back here ; wi Quth Carolina needs her best men, and a be should slbow them that she recognisea gi heir efforts and merits.

The receptionetended into the "wee sina' hours ayn;.the twal," The Commencement has been a very pleasant one, and the Faculty and frie,nds of the- College have reason to be gratified at the interest manifested by the public in all the naeedings_ ie Closing Exercises of the Newberry the p remale Academy the p Came off in the Opera House Thurs- Irof. y night. A large and appreciative has r dience,. notwithstanding the threaten- cess Z rain, testified to the interest felt by a community in this institutic- of South irning. The Academy has had a very ecessful year; the health of the pu- Ou Is has been uniformly good, and the . and h endance has been large, many of the Havi pils being boarders. Capt. Pifer, shoul incipal,.,has been assisted in the lite- beet ry department by Miss Ella Motte; And rs. Bailey has had charge of the Mu Department, and Miss Gussie Hood Coun tie Drawing and Painting. Dr. Cottk gyer, Jr., has given occasicnal lee- South -es on Physiology and Hygiene. That and p a pupils have been faithfully taught ities I d have diligently pursued their studies farnie examinations of last week gave bristi undant and gratifying hvidence. The with alytical method of teaching has been lowed; the pupils have been taught bittet think, and to acquire a knowledge of are ,ngs rather than of words. The effect make, s been that they have learned facts Brow d principles, and have thus acquired Conti :onfidence in their own ability, which ton .G the foundation of thorough know- i Ige. . . rhe exercises conslsted-6f vocal and desiri itrumental music, essays, &c. The dress ;trumental music, so far as we ara le to judge,.was good. The singing The S is not as ggod as the other features In the exercises; there was one really noon od voice, that only needs further The e lining to be very melodious and b R eet, but there was a want 6f harmo. by , hr the duets, trios and choruses. But e good voice is a very rare gift, and esting aen denied by nature cannot be Ohio, pplied by. art. And one could not some isonably expect school girls to be of tLb od singers-especially .one wbo has water dured the agony of Iistening to the puff o erage church choir. The essays were, general, very good, and they had, drop think, the rare merit of being origi- divii -not rare with this school, for ;tIs Atlan rulp with it; bp*t rTa $mong female the 2004l generally. Miss Talu Clark how s d for her subject "Silent Cities;" it He tc is carefully written and she read it mirably. Miss Minnie Chalmere had now excellent essay on "Higher- Mental and o ilture," - but she read it too rapidly.

She e;- have esses her ideas very cleiiy and forci- Chur 7, and hpr essay suffered nothing in Chr's readtng. "'Tis passed away,". by iss Alice Cannon, was a wailing of the g ^ret over pleasures gone and wasted white portunities. It was of the pathetic He der, but was not read with good ef- drew t. Miss Alma Kibler's essay, "The betwe rposes of youth," was a statement of when a pleasures and the duties of youth in nple and touching language, and was are t ll read. Miss Miriam Werber drew cuia1 graphic picture of the glory apd the subje amour that surrounded- the beautiful their ieen Marie Antoinette on her mar- and ge'day, and then another of the hor- the d rs that attended her execution-her migb bject being "Two days in the life of g arie Antoinette." She read b p say ' ry well. "The ievised Version of into e New Testament," being a short and etch of the various translations and tnouc me arguments in favor of the late ed a slation, formed the subject of Miss efort assie Reese Perkin's essay. She read chanl very distinctly. Miss Mamie Whites' say on "True Greatness" was a the oughtful and sensible composition, RE id she did it full justice in the reading tonig it.
