to bear its delivery. Tbe high tone of pure mo-
raltty that perraded the nibble address was very
grateful to the friends of erangelicsl religion: the
seducing influences of high political station, the
eecularity of feeling induced, not 'to refer to the
unfortunate proclirity -of our nature, to rely on ex
ternal eeremonials, rather than purity of (he heart,
for tbe renoTaUon .of the soul and a preparation
for beaven, all render such an address as tiiat de
livered by, Mr. Vrenableon the 8th in, before the
literary societies of Wake Forest College, an of-
fering highly acceptable, in the present 'stage of
society. Fr the great battle of formalism against
evangelism is about to begin. Some suppose that
the perversioo of a distinguished minister from a
prominent religions sect! in our State has given a
mortal blow to formalism, but, there lis reason to
apprehend that there will be & recoil from the
present appannt sbock,; that will tend ultimately
to advance the cause of formalism in the religious
world. The Jesuits around us, robed in protes
tantism, see tbe shadows of eomingjevents, and
while tbey raise tbejr hands the highest in hojj
borror at tba moostrou wickedness of Mr. Ives,
only do so, tbat they jnsy the more effectually
mala hisapostacy eottrej ultimately to 'the promo
tion of phariseeiam in the chrwtian rankn. " The
doctrine of ydti2calJon by faith," said Mr. Vena
ble, 44 was the moral lever by which Martin Luther
overthrew the powers of Bome.n
- .In the efforts we make at"success in life, said the
orator, self-control ia hecesry ; to attain tbis, self-
denial must be practised, and .that too in early life.
Alt may not expect to attain to enure success and
distinction. Experience and history sljew us that
these are to be regarded rather as exceptions than
tbe general rule.
Ou Thursday tbf tieercises of the graduat
ing clwss took place. Uarfy of tbe orations of the '
young geutlemen exhibited a freshness and origin
ality that not only reflected crediubly on the
speakers, but were exceedingly grateful in this day
of crap-gatbering and literary pilfering.
Mr. M. D. Fennell, of New Hanover, took, the
first distinction. The subjeef. . wnich be dbedk
laracter, presented w vefy.afprfl,!5
finale to a series of addresses, prececded ta-Jay
before by such an address as that of the annual or
ator. " i
Of the graduating class, six in number, we will
not discriminate, but : make the single remark,
made by others often before, that Wake Forest
students declaim wa)l&tbey speak like men in
earnest. j v
. In former years it baa leen too commonly the
practice with young men appronching the close of
college life at Wake,, Forest, to leave and graduate
at other institutions : put that time, we trust, is
gone by. In the class! that left her halls this year,
were numbered those ! who commenced their col
legiate course in other and older institutions.
And for the future, it is probable that her gradu
ating classes will be larger, as the institution is
properly appreciated. '. Wake Forest may now
point to some of the mot distinguished men of
our State as being her children. And: even in dis
tant States, men who have attained eminence in
the sciences proudly refer to Wake Forest as their
Alma Mater. ;
The exercises of the anniversary closed, on Thurs
day evening with a party, at which the youth anJ
beauty of Raleigh and from remote sections of our
noble. State were present in dense masses. Thus
a day well spent was agreeably ended.! ,
On tbe platform in tbe chapel to-day, we were
' gratified to recognise, among other distinguished
visiters, his excellency,! Governor Keid, who mani
fests a becoming interest in all the literary enter
prizes contemplated in our State. Anf 1 among the

Messrs. Editors, that we did not meet you; as

, y!V Fwa the Child' Paper.
It is curious td see bow many (dxerent binds of
mouths there are, each adapted tojdjfferent kind
of food, and . the different .'waya if taking tbe food,
and tbe different places where the food is found.
The human mouth his a good set of tools for
biting and chewing, with die hands to wait upon
it, to prepare sad bring it foodVJhe rough tongue,
the broa 1 cutting teeth of tbe bone, with his long
neck, fit him for bepwsing in the pastures, and
gathering up his food from the earth. The mouth
of a chicken is a pair of -nippen, long, sharp, and
bony, to pick up tbe corn and little seeds.
The woodpecker's mouth has not only to find
the food, but it has to work pretty bard for it. It
feeds upon the worms and insects which live in the
hollows of old trees, and tbey bare to ba taken out
soaw way or other. For tbis purpose it has a long,
sharp, hard bill like a mallet, and withthis it chisels
and taps and taps, and was orobablr vary busy ret
ting its dinner, when the poA went out in the
woods and beard him, and wrote the song,
' M Tbs woodpecker taps the hollow beach-uee,"
which has made the woodpecker a famous little
bird ever since. lie keeps n working until a hole
is deep enough to reach the poor worm, when he
darts out 'his tongue and seizes it. . This tongue is
made ou purpose, for it is long, sometimes darted
out two or three inches bevoud tbe bill, and at tbe
of a fish-hook. There is now ho escape for the
worm ; it is hooked and draws into woodpecker's
mouth, and made a meal of.
' All this is verv curious ; vet very different ia the
butterfly's mouth, for the butterfly eats honey, and"
the flowers sometimes stow their honey down in
little cells, quite out of the way. But the butter
flies have an instrument to work with ; their tongue
is hollow inside like a tube, made of a great many
little rings, moved by little muscles. When it is
not in use, it is coiled up, so as not to be in the
way ; but when it is wanted, it is unrolled and
darted down into the bottom of a flower, and the
honey is sucked up through it very much as boys
sometimes suck cider through a straw.
As you study the liouths of other insects and
other birds and other animals, and the finny tribes,
you will find this wonderful adaptation of the
mouth to obtaining the proper food. These differ
ent mouths could not have 44 happened so ;" they
could not hare made themmoea ; could they ? Does
any body seriously suppose tbey cou Id have
come by chance ? The study oi mouths bring out
a degree of skill and contrivance which could be
long only to a great intelligent, contriving wind,
and it forms a deeply interesting ehapter in the
great book of God. t

in

gallantly in attempting 4o subdue the flames, were
caught in a dangerous predicament ; one gable ,t.
tbe house fell in, and that under which they were
standing tottered over them.
The younger attempted to fly from the spot, but
was overtaken by the burning ruin, and very severe
ly injured ; the other, seeiug an oj.en ooor iu the
base of the wall, darted through it, and emerged
unhurt on the other side. Uis employer, next day,
commenting on his escape, said he should return

then he took a Sitz-bad, and then, turning his tail
up into the air, he took a Kopfbad. Lastly, he

A Boston astrologer pYedicted that fin extraor
dinary literary work would be preduced in New
England about this time. The prediction has been
fulfilled to the letter, for a Boston publishing house,
has "got up" a Quaker hymn book, having heard
that no work of the kind was in existence. It seemed
to be a pretty good opening ; but one unlucky
circumstance attending the speculation is, Quakers

SECTARIAN POlITICa
." Verila nihil veretur nisi abscond!" ;
Our correspondent44 P. F. R." expresses consid
erable satisfaction at our 44 monosyllabic" responses
to several of his queries. We think," certainly, i
that he excels us in that 44 Jesuitical self-control"
of which he appears not unwilling to boast, and
which is especially conspicuous in his continued si
lence in regard to several of our questions put to
him. We hope tbat in the exuberance of bis Lat
in recollections, he will not forget the familiar one
44 Qui non nega', fatetur" Silence generally
gives consent.
But we fear his satisfaction, derived from our
answers, wa& rather premature. lie has arttved at
that delightful state of mind by a misrepresenta
tion of our language, which, if it. brings nodishon
or upon his heart, does little credit to bis critical
acumen. One of his question was this: 4,lf
Catholics are so treated as they state, with regard
to' the Free School education, are. they not justified
by the laws of the country in seeking redress t"
We answered1 this question in the affirmative: but
he will please, observe that there was an 44 if.n in
the case, and that little word had a great deal to
do with our reply. According to bis own showing.
Catholics have "stated" that they are unjustly
treated in the operation of the common school
system. According t0 other abundant evidence,
they have 44 stated "that this system is an 14 infi-lel
and godless'f one, and ought therefore to.be essen
tially changed ordestroyed. If tbis had been true,
ihi ham brrn nf inm Tna tn Mm
But we denied it, and of course the fancied "tri
umph of 44 P.. F. R." amounts to nothing. ,His
statement that, in our affirmative answer, we 44 ad
mitted and proved that the Catholic complaint is
valid," is one which no careful reader of our arti-
i cle would have ventured to make. We avap;nin
that, if the Catholic statement were true, they would
44 be justified by the laws of the coufitry in seeking
redress." But their statement is Mof true, and it
will take 44 P. F. R." an age or two to prove the
contrary.
Our correspondent -lias also represented us a
''seeing no difference between a paid t'acher and a
paid preacher? As he has quoted our words er
actly a few lines ,bove, the reador can readily
that such was not our Ianzuase or our meaning.
Again, he represents us as maintaining that-relig- j
ious education 44 is impracticable" in our common
schools. We said nothing like it- Our words j
were 44 no such system," that is, one in which the j
teachers would be required . 44 to give Ca thnlic in
struction to Catholic children, and Protect tnt in
struction to Protestant children," is practicable."
1 be difference is obvious. He says moreover, you ,
are also illiberal, because you would refuse equa.
favor to be shown to all denominations." This j
charge betrays such anxiety to cripple his antago- i
nist, that we feel rather comnlitnrntetf by it than
otherwise. -All who have read our articles careful
ly, know well that our objection to a division of
the school fund, is not because it would be pro
portionately divided, but because it would substi
tute denominational schools for common schools.
Of course, if his church gets a part, w wish others
to share in it by an equitable division. Let, him
now say whether lie would like to see equal favor
shown to all denominations ; whether he desires or
not that Protestants should enjoy the same privi
leges in Italy and other Catholic States, that Cath
olics do here. No dodging or shuffling, on such a
question, will satisfy aa American community. We
kriow, however, very well, that the system of logj- !
ic in which he has probably been instructed, sel- j
dom allows of a direct and categorical answer to 11
pointed inquiry. The party to which he belongs j
have ever shunned the torture of this species of
isqctmtioic, however ready tbey may have been
to iofl'ct actual, literal torment upon their oJ;
nents. Their poucv has alwavs been, .like huf
ent criticism, to quibble around the point, ins'
of meeting it openly and boldly. Any comment
on such methods of conducting a controversy, is of
course unnecessary. The intelligent and candid
reader will perceive that our opponent, while pre-
ferr'
ing offensive to defensive warfare, has blundered
ly in the assault. The awkwardness of bis
sadlv
manoeuvres proven the desperate state of his cause,
The next time he endeavors to find a breach in oar
argument, he must take a more careful obser
vation. Let us now see bow this redoubtable knight of
the quill acquits- himself, in defence of tbe claims
of his party as stated by himself. In a former ar-
tide he said, 44 Thev do clai n a right to see that
their children be educated from the common fund
according ta tbeir othi tciA ; and they ask, tehen
that canno be done, nor the sytem changed, tbat
a proportionate part of that fund towards which
