I hear from alii ; and so, with my blandest

The Compositions that were read by tbe
young ladies of the graduating class, were
well written, and handsomely delivered. The
music and singing were superb. The chapel
was beautifully decorated with ever-greens,
which was the generous offering of eeveral
young gentlemen of the town. f We noticed
a number of paintings in landscape, which
would aacrean 10 me pcucn oi any amen.
They were executed by Miss porcas Fraley,
Miss M. A. Mcintosh, Miss M. J. Beynolds
and 'Miss J J?lcmirg.
But perhaps, the most charming spectacle
of all, was the galaxy of lovely ladies that
graced the chapel with their charms arid
smiles to brighten and adorn the fairy scene.
Such occasions are eminently worthy the
smiles and approbation of woman for to
the influences of education, and of Christian
ity, ehe is iiidebted for the exalted sphere
which she enjoys in the midst of civilization.
Not the least pleasing feature in the even
ing's amusements was, the-outeide illumina
tion gotten up by the young gentlemen, se
cretly, and put into execution while the ex
ercises in the chapel were going oa. They
had erectetl in frpnt of the palatial portico of
the institution, a tall frame-work, with a
number of cross-bars, anda hundred candles
cast a refulgent'Jight.upon themassive pil
lars and lofty building while the throng of
beauty that collected in tbe vestibule"above,
to admire the magic scene, was like so ma
ny goddesses in the Court of Love. And far
ther, to the east, upon the balustrades that
enclose the Campus, a thousand candles lent
their taper lights to glorify the pageant and
light the footsteps 'of promenading couples
over the gravelled walks.

The Examination of the Students belong

Monday, 8th May. The result wai pre-
eminently satistactory io me menus anu pat
rons of the Academy the young gentlemen
exhibiting a high degree of proficiency in the
various studies pursued by them, which in
cludes quite all the branches taught at the
State University. The exercises in Declama
tion and Composition came off on Tuesday
following, at 9 o'clock, at Stockton Hall, in,
the presence of four or five hundred ladies
and gentlemen. Here the students distin
guished themselves as orators and composers
of much promise, receiving frequent and rap
turous applause from the delighted hearers,
as each pupil enunciated his theme from the
stage. An hotir or so was consumed in this
part of the programme, which being conclu
ded, the audience repaired to the female Col-
ege to hear the address of Rev. J. B. Watt,
before the voting ladies of the institution, that
was delivered at 10 o'clock. At 11 o'clock,
the ladies repaired again to Stockton Hall,
where Rev. W. A. Wood was toladdress the
tudents of the male- Academy. ' Meantime,
the military and citizens assembled in front
of the Academy building and f4rraeJ a line

procession marched up Academy street, across
Jameison Square, down College Avenue and
entered the Hall at 12 o'clock.' The exer
cises at the Hall were opened with prayer
bv Rev. Mr. Krider. Rev. W. A. Wood then
delivered a most appropriate and cemprehen

took no notes we will not here attempt a re

any literary effort that he put forth, and this

Well, there lived an old woman
some years ago at Musquash creek in
South Carolina, that had a large fpr
tin and an only daughter. She was a,
Wrdder, a miser, and sL drunker. he
was very good and very cross, as many
riteons pious people are, , and had a
loose tongue and a tight pus of her
own. All the-men that looked at ner
darter she sho't had an eye to money,
and she warn't far out of the way nei
ther, for it seems as if beauty and
money was too much to gp together in
a general way. Rich gals and hand
some srals are seldom good for nothin'
fds but their cash or their looks.-
Pears and peaches are not often fonnd
on the same tree, I tell you. She
lived all "alone amust, with nobody but
her darter and her in the housey and
some old nigger slaves in a hut near at
hand ; and she seed no company she
could help. The only place they went,
in a general way, was meetin', and
Jerusy never missed that, ior it was
the only chance she had sometimes to
get out alone.
Barney had a -most beautiful voice,
and always went there, too, to sing
alone with the gals; and Barney,
hearin' of the f ortin of ' Miss Elles,
made up to her as fierce as possible,
and sung so sweetand talked so sweet,
and kissed so sweet, that he soon stood
number one with the heiress. But he .
didn't often get a chance to walk home
with her, and when he did, she darsn t
let him come in, for fear of the old
woman. But Barney warn't to be
pnt off that way long. When a gal's
in one pastur' and a lover in another,
it's a high fence -tha;t they can't get
over, that's a fact.
4(1 Tell you what," says Barney,
"sit up alone in the teepin' room,
Rushy dear, arter old mother has gone
to bed, put out the light, and I'll slide
down on the rope from the trap-door
on the roof. Tell her you are . exer
cised in your mind, and want to medi
ate alone, as the words you heard this
day have readied your heart."
Jerusha was frightened to death al
most : but what won't a woman do
when a lover is in the way? So she,
that verv night, told the old voaaan
she was exercised in her, mind, and
would rastle with the spirit.
' Do dear,' says the mother, 'and
you won'tjthink of the vanities of dress
and idle comnanv no more. You see
how I have given them all up since I
made profession, and never so much as
talk of 'em .now, or even thfnks of
em.
'Strange, Squire ain't it?' But
it's much easier to cheat ourselves
than cheat the devil. That old hag
was too stingy to buy a dress, but per
suaded herself it was bein' too good
to wear it.' '
Well, the house was a flat-rooled
louse, and had a trap-door in the cel-
iu' over the keepin room, and there
was a crane on the roof, with a rope
to mill ud things to dry there. As
soon as tne lignts were an out, auu
Barney thought the old woman was
asleep, he crawls on the house opens
the trap door and lets inrnselt down oy
the rope, and he and Jerushy sat down
on the hearth in the chimney corner
courtin' or as they call it in them dig
gins' 'sniffin ashes.' When daylight
began to show, he went up the rope
hand over hand, hauled it up after!
him, closed too the trap-door, and
made himseli scarce. Vv ell, all this
went on as slick as could be for a while,
but the old woman seed her darter
looked pale, as if she hadn't sleep
enough, there was no gitten ner up
in the mornin' ; and when she did she
was yawnin' and gappin', and so dull
she hadn't a word to say. She got
very uneasy 'about it at last, and used
to get up in the night sometimes, and
call her darter, and make her go off
to bed, and once or twice come plag
gey near catchin' of them. So what
does Barney do, but takes two niggers
with him when he went after that, and
leaves them ion the roof and fastens a
large basket -to the rope and tells them
if they feel the rope pulled, they must
