H, who were not present 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,!

STATE PRIDE. , 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 Messrs CHAjro Airo Ewo Those interesting ex otics, from whose land all the iolden fountains and Uil king Ian ran, 'and singing treis that graced our juvenile literature were derived) were much grati- nea oy an mwouuciion. w mrs rarungion one oi a i i ' 1 .? . if I i .

At a recent fire in Fall Blver, two Irish laborers, who had behaved 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.

But oyr limits forbid. Jn tho meantime it has been our good fortune, since read ing Claridge, to see a sick drake avail himself of the Water Cure, at the dispensary in St. Jamfs' Park. First, in waddling in, he took a Fassbaid, then he took a Sitz-bad, and then, turning his tail up into the air, he took a Kopfbad.

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 never sing.

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 thy(xtbiitbtealk toOiemtoeri --: ....
