The examination of the classes began on Monday, 1st inst., and closed Tues day ovening. The young ladies, in the impartial trial to which they were sub jected, showed, by the general readi ness of their answers, a familiarity with their text books, which indicated good training and industrious application. OiAVcdnesday,the third., nt 11 o'clock, liev. S. 1). Adams, of the Fayetteville District, preached-thc annual sermon. Ills theme was uThc Love of Christ," based upon tire question propounded by the Saviour to Simon Peter, in the 15th verse of the 21st chap, of St. John, which he handled not only with marked ability, but with great appropriateness to the occasion. From this sermon 110 one would fail to sec that Mr. Adams is a good thinker, and 1 felt, during its delivery, that, but 'for his manu script, upon which he leaned, he would have kindled and glowed into a fervent eloquence, that would have; swayed his audience. ISo man can bo truly elo nucnt with a manuscript. Mr. Adams was listened to throughout, however, with unbroken interest and satisfac tion. He is evidently one of the solid, rising men of the Church and country. On Thursday, at 11 o'clock, the Lit erarv Address , before the Societies of the College was delivered by Gen. Wm. L. Scott, of Greensboro. He portrayed, with a master's pencil, the character of Mary Washington, as the example, above all others of her sex, for the imitation of the young ladies. It was a novel theme for an address on such an occasion, but the eloquent manner in which he presented it, and the prac tical use he made of it, made it quite manifest that he not only aimed to please, but designed to profit. Gen. Scott, unlike too many of tho legal pro fossion, is not a neglect or of Literature, as was evidenced by his address, which exhibited very fine literary culture and taste. The Concert and graduating exercises came on, on the evening of the same day.

MOTILEK, WATCH THE LITTLE FEET. Mother, watch the litttle feet, Climbing oVrthe garden wall, Round through the busy street, Iianging cellar, fhed and ball, Never count the moment lost, Never mind the time it cost ; Little feet will go astray, Guide them, mother, while you may. Mother, watch the little hand. Picking lorries by the way, Making houses iu the sand, Tossing up the fragrant hay ; Never dare the question ask, " Why to me this weary task ?" These wime little hands- may prove Messengers of light and love. Mother, watch the little tongue, Prattlingelocjueiit and wild, , What i said and what is sung, By the happy joyous child, Catch the word while yet unspoken, Stop the vow before 'tis broken, The same tongue may yet proclaim Blessings in the Saviour's name. Mother, watch the little heart, Breathing warm and soft for you, Wholesome lessons now impart, Keep, oh keep, that young heart true, Extricating every weed, Sowing good and precious seed ; Harvest rich then you may see, Ivipening for eternity. W ANTED AT THE CROSS ROADS I was in a hurry to reach home. No wonder, for it was the wildest ni-ht 1 had ever known in my life, and the country road over which I took my way as bad, and as dark as country roads in general. Consequently I was walk ing at a great rate, with the collar of a rough coat over my ears, and a com forter tied over mv soft hat and under my chin, to keep it on and to protect my cars, when suddenly a man stood full in my path, and caught me by the arm. " Hallo !" said he. "You're just in time ; you are wanted at the Cross Roads to-night." - v The voice was the voice of a ruffian, I fancied myself attacked by a high- way-man. I stood quite still, and strove to show him by my maim or that I was able to protect myself. " What the deuce am I wanted at t, c Koa(ls for? said L tjics.s I choose, it would be a hard matter to get me there." But, instead of producing a pistol and demanding my money or life, the man answered in an altered tone. " Beg pardon! I made a mistake. I thought it was my brother, and wanted to frighten him. Bad night, sir." "Very!" said I. "You don't know the time!" he asked. " It was seven when I left the train at Ij ," I said. " Thank ye," said the man. " Good night." If his object had been robbery, prob- ably he had decided, from my rough nul filers, that I was too poor a man to be worth the trouble. But after all, I said, probably he spoke the trnth. A man may have such a voice without being a highway- man, no doubt. Sol went on homeward, and soon found myself under shelter, and par taking of a warm and savory supper, My mother was there, and my brother Ben.

I trembled like a leaf, and had no doubt that I had re- ceived a supernatural warning. "Ben," I cried, "Ben, for the third time I have been told that lam wanted at the Cross Roads and I am going." And I began to dress myself as speedily as possible, listening mean while to the storm, raging madder and wilder than at any other period since its commencement. Ben remonstrated with me in vain. At last he also began to huddle on his clothes. " If you have gone mad, I must go with you and take care of you," he said. " But fancy another man going in a storm like this to the Cross Roads, because a nightmare advises him to do so, and what would you think of him?" I said nothing. All I could have an swered would have been : "lam impelled to go: I must goj I dare not refuse, whatever may be thought ol me." In ten minutes we were splashing through mud and rain along the road.

Such is the proposition when divested of its selfish pretences. The iion-oes made a Preferred class over our native and naturhzed citizens. Radicalism elevates them not only to the same Xwhtical and "social equalityj but it tolls them, besides : " You need not earn your bread by tho sweat of your brow, as the white men must do ; vote the Radical ticket, and wo will vote your subsistence out of the people's treasury." The motive of this proceeding is not , even disguised. Now that the States are " reconstructed," the military despotisms which have subsisted in the South since the close of the rebellion can no longer be maintained with any show of right, though the intention"; was to have continued them", had im peachment succeeded.

REMOVAL OF DISABILITIES. The scheme of the Radicals to make the removal of disabilities the reward for' partisan servility is one of the most outrageous of their numerous crimes against the Constitution and iudivid- ual rights. " Freedom of opinion" is guaranteed in all the constitutions, State and Federal, yet Radicals re- ward men for entertaining Radical opinions, and punish those who reject those opinions. i-m j-tamuu.ouicuiu M imt m the party in power have invented to prolong their possession of the Goy- eminent.
