Frm the "age of iwo years retirement for ; prayer rdaily had " been her general habit. ; Her religious principles main tained an' unbroken ascendancy, through the various stages of her disease, till about a day before her death ; wherrthe last struggle of unbelief preceded the last struggle, of inortal life. Appearing restless and disturb ed, she said it" was not on account of pain' of body but that her mind was darki and fears had come. over. her, lest her hopes were vain and would desert her in the last hour! - The minister of God, whose hospitality was priv ileged in ministering to the: wants of the dy ing one,' was immediately called from his college exercises, and prayer wa3 offered round her couch till her soul was greeted iti the good- hope, through grace. , From that time she enjoyed unbroken peace till she" fell asleep in Jesus. . The ' solemn .funeral services, conducted by Professor Phillips, took place the evening preceding commence ment, and her remains were interred in the Uni versity, burying ground. - The new and unutterable interest excited by the triumphant death and solemn burial of this young Christian, checked the' ebulli tion of joyous feeling with which students hail commencement day. At half past ten o'clock on Thursday morning, the usual: procession of Students, Faculty, Trustees and Strangers, was formed in front of- the South College, and moved through the beautiful grove of native forest trees carefully preserved as an ornament of the University grounds, round the monument erected to the memory of President Cald well, to the chapel, when the exercises of commencement day were opened with pray er by Professor Mitchell, of the Presbyterian Church, and' closed with prayer by Professor Green of the Episcopal Church. ; During the exercises, his Excellency the Governor, on the right of the President, Ex Governor Swain, occupied the centre of the stage the orators of the day, nine in num ber, in their rear: and the Trustees and Professors on the right and left. The per formances of the young 'gentlemen candi dates for the Baccalaureate, adorned with the insignia of the literary societies, were characterised by correctness of sentiment, and chasteness of style and delivery ; and an entire.absence of that artificial action and pompous diction sometimes So prominent in academic exercises, before the Bachelor's Degree was conferred, one Of the Trustees read the! report of the Faculty, giving' indi vidually, and by name, the rank of each of the candidates for, the,h0nor, from the time of entering , the University, till the close of his studies and in a general manner the standing of the undergraduates. .The Senior class occupied the area in front of the stage, while this statement was read 06m the Col lege: records Their rank in scholarship, their behaviour in recitation, public worship and daily prayer, and the number of absen ces fromany College exercises, was stated in order. The deep interest : with which this record was listened to by the whole as sembly; evinced the power of this appeal to the sense of honor and propriety in the young men. a strong sensation pervaded the as sembly when i t. was ahnou need that on ac count of inattention to, college duties, often repeated admonitions tvyo of the undergrad uates were in danger of being remitted to their parents. iThe report ' closed . by .an nouncing that twenty-nine young gen tleraen wenj-admiited to the fistegreeT 6f ihese onejhf d not. failed in an exercise or duty during the whole fouryears course J six oth ers had not: failed during the senior year ; and three others had not voluntarily failed, i rThe Degree of A.
