Eye Hath Not Seen.
BY MRS. 1DA.C. H- ubRSE.
How fair and bright thes blue June skies.
How wet th? rones, blooin :
And yet flitTe Jines a purer laj,
Beyond the quiet tomb.
We love these soft and balmy days,
And siffh to see them fade.
Bat still there gleams a fairer clime,
Without a care or shade.
These Summer days vr ill rss away,
TKaw mill urtt rxnnnt lat !
The flowers fo sweet will droop andie.
! With Autumn s cnuiing wasi.,
We have a home forever bright, i
With Jora that will not die, '
Fair, fadeless fiower6, and music pweet.
And love that knows no sigh.
This earth is fair ana beautiful.
In ppriug-times smiling hours,
When sweet-voiced birds ring joyously,
An4wake the fragrant flowers. -
And yet. beyond these azure skies.
There waits a perfect? life,
Without a (frier, a siph, or tear.
Or pain, or .weary strife.
Ear hath'jiot hen ru a strain so sweet,
As greets the spirit there ;
Soft thrilling notes of melody,
That fill the ravished ear.
And we, who feel our pulses beat, -With
quick aud painful thrill,
When niuaic sweet fallxn our ear,
And all our 6eusc8 fill.;
Will fel a purer, holler joy,
We'll hear a sweeter strain,
A joy that thrills the soul's deep chords,
And leaves no aching pain.
The heart has never yet conceived.
The beauty of that home,
The joy. the pace. the happiness,
Tbat wait beyoud tbe gloom.
For those who love the Father, here,
And strive todo Uis will,
That peaceful home in glory waits, .
Beyoud the crystal rill.
O. let me love Illin more and mora. . . .

Closing Exercises of Clay-
ton Institute.
The spring term of Clayton
Institute closed on last Wednes
day, the 6th instant. At 10
o'clock a. m., a large crowd-had
assembled in the Academy
building, and the exercises were
opened by a fervent prayer offer
ed by Kev. Amos Weaver, of
Clayton. The first thing on the
programme was the reading of
Kssays. The following named
young ladies each read an essay,
except one or two the reading
of i which was, on request, per
formed by proxy.5 They were
well written, and were credita
ble, not only to the young ladies,
whose names nnd the subject of
each-wo give Ijelow. but were a
credit to the school: Miss Ilattie
M. IIonevcutL Clayton subject:
l'Our School Days" ; Miss Kittie
E'lington, of Clayton subject :
"Kindness"; Miss Mattie ,E.
Johnson, of Clayton subject :
"Youth"; Miss LuIa'M. Thurs
ton, Clayton 'subject: 44BeTond
the' Clouds the Stars are Shin
in"; Miss Mary E. Barnes, of
Clayton subject: "Forgiveness";
M iss Sallie D. Weaver, Clayton
subject : "Music" ; Miss Ella 0.
Xowell, of Clayton subject:
"Beauties of Nature" ; .Miss Liz
zie B. Jones, of Chatham sub
ject: "No Royal Road to Know
ledge." A sweet piece of music
was then played by the baiid ;
after which the contestants for

I B.Jones, of Chatham, was first
speaker subject : "The South
Faitjiful to Duty"; 2nd speaker
was IMr. Wade II. Atkinson, of
Johnston subject: "Count Can
desp nia's Standard" ; 3d speech
was by Mr. J. N. Booth, of
Wake subject : "Courtship" ;
arid' he last contestant was Mr.
A. Maynard, of Wake, whose
subjejet . was 4The Stars and
Stripes." These young gentle
menjacquitted them-selves hand
somely. They, each, put firey
anirriation into their delivery,
carrying themselves on the
stagcl, and some of them gestur
ing as gracefully, as many men
who have a national reputation
for oratory. Mr. S. T. Under
bill, of Wake, and Mr. W. M.
Buras, of Chatham, both of
whbnji had prepared themselves
to declaim., were too unwell to

t our cirls should not
go home from school, and sit
down apd wait for the bridal
veil, and; orange bloom, but that
they shduld lighten the burden
of theirj parents, by entering
uoon some pursuits or profes
sion thai jwould be remunerative,
and render them independent.
Mr, Busbjee's oration was an ad
mirable one, aud we endorse his
sentiments Throughout. In order
to be happy we must be useful
have some employment and not
be dependent. To be all the
while dependent is certainly
enough to make one miserable.
There is 4 bright future for the
girls ho aut forth efforts in the
right direction. After music by
theband came the presentation
of medals! The committee ap
pointed asi judges,' awarded the
"Richardson" medal for best De
clamation I to Mr. W. II. Atkin
son, of Johnston, which was pre
sented in a brief, but 'grace
ful, speech by F. H. Busbee, Esq.
The medal for the best essayist
was awarded to Miss Lizzie
Jones, of 'Chatham, aud was
presented by Rev. J. M. White.
The "Excelsior" medal, for best
General Report, was awarded to
Mr. J. N. Booth, of Wake, and ;
was presented by N. R. Richard
; f - ; .'
son, Esq: The "Excelsior, Jr.,"
for best General Report, j under
12 years old, was awarded to
Master Bruce; White, of. Clay
ton, and was presented by Mr.
Busbee. 'Penman's Badge," for
best 'improvement in Penman
ship was awarded to Master
.cammie Uoneycutt, of Clayton,
and presented by Key. W. C.
Nowell. ; The . exercises during
the day were unusually interest
ing. Tbe awarding of medals
is a new feature in the school,
but will now be a permanent
thing- I By 8 o'clock p.' m. the
Academy Hall was packed, and
att8.S0 the exercises began. A
gof d long programme was carri-.
ed out, and the whole of the
evening's entertainment was
good, we only mention two or
three acts. "Buds of Promise"
was well acted, by a class of
promising r little boys, as was ;
also ''Young AmeTica," "De
scripfion of a Ship on fire at
Sea," spoken by a little boy was
exceedingly good, and was high- i.
ly complimented. "Patsoy
O'Dowd' a dialogue, was acted
to perfection. We would be
giaa to give the whole evening's
programme, in detail, if space
of our columns would permit it.
for "everybody" was there and
could see 1 and hear for them

mensely large one. After the
exercises closed, the social gatb

.'Fhe Characteristic Amer
ican Book.
Webster's Dnabridged Dictionary is now
considered throughout the continent of Eu
rope, not only the authority par excellence
in Enaish lexldographyfcut as the charac
teristic American book. It is better known
nd more widely circuited' than any other.
I have mat with it at the Imperial Library
in Paris, the Libray of tbe British Museum,
the Athenaeum and other London Clubs,
and numerous other places. I have herd
of it from Turkey, India, China and eren
Japan. It is everywhere deservedly ap
plauded for the elegance of Its type, the
distinctness of impression, the beauty of
'the engravings, and the vast amount of
information condensed within Its cdVera.
To the great talents of Dr. Webster It 'lain
its present state a noble and meritorious
offering. , !.;
