such a training of youth it is a source
of wonder that so few come to the

for presuming that Chicago is worse

BROWflVILLE HIGH SCHOOL.
Closing Exercises Thursday Evening,
May 30th, 1678.
The closing and graduating exercis
es of the Brownville High School, at
Marsh Hall, in this city, on Thursday
evening last, were highly creditable
to the managers and teachers of the
school, honorable to the graduating
class, and most satisfactory to friends,
patrons, aud the community. This
was the first graduating class of the
school. The members were, in the
order named Miss Ckma Furnas,
Miss Berthia Church, Miss Fannie
ChatfIeld, aud Mr. Benjamin Lo
rance. The "Salutatory" was by
Miss Furnas, and the "Valedictory"
by Mr. Lorance. The deportment of
this class, the character of their grad
uating essays, and the excellent and
forcible style in which they
were delivered, won the admir
ation and applause of the crowded
audience in attendance, as was
shown by the deluge of boquets
thrown on the stage as each speaker
closed. We could not, if we would,
distinguish any one of the class as to
merit in any respect. All were bu
perb. That our readers who were not
present, may know more than we can
write, we solicited from the class cop
ies of the addresses of each, and pub
lish them In full In this issue of our
paper. They are worth reading and
preservation.
Prof. McKeuzie dosed the exercises
with an address to the claBS and a
word to the audience, In which he
spoke with that stirring zeal and en
thusiasm for which be has so long
been characterized as a. leadiug edu
cator in this Stale. His address we
also publish.
The musical exercises Interspersed
with others of the evening, were ex
ceedingly fine, -sustaining the reputa
tion Brownville has forborne musical
talent. The participants were the
lady teachers and pupils of the school,
assisted by the volunteer services of
Miss Cora Gate3, J. C. MoNaughton,
and Prof. E. M. Lippitt. Seldom Iirb
our people been favored with suoh
splendid musical rendition as on this
occasion. It is no disparagement to
other participants to say that the solo
"Old Crow" by Miss Eva O'Pelt,
was executed in an extraordinary
manner for one of her age. She
evinced rare and peculiar volume of
voice and native talent, as well as the
excellent vocal training by Miss Gates.
After the graduating exercises, a
pleasant surprise was presented by
Miss Bain, the principal's assistant in
the High School department. She
advanced to the front of the stage,
and announced that Bhe had been
furnished by friends of tho school
and graduating class, with the letter
she would read, and the presents she
would now make. The following was
read by Miss Bain, after whloh she
presented each of the graduating olass
with a splendid solid gold finger ring:
We, the young ladles, present you with
these rings as a token of our esteem for your
earnest and persistent pursuit of knowl
edge ; and while we aro proud that a few of
our members, by their untiring diligence,
have ascended the hill of science so high as
to receive the highest honors that our school
can confer ,upon you. rest assured that we,
who remain, inspired by your noble exam
ple, will toll on until we too shall drink deep
at the fountain of knowledge. Accept these,
not for their Intrinsic value, but as memen
tos of our high esteem. We trust that all
your actions and Impulses will ever bo as
tho gold from which these rings aro made.
And may they also serve as finger-boards,
directing your minds back to the happy days
spent in the Brownville school.
Professor McKenzio responded, in
behalf of the class, in the following
appropriate remarks :
Termlt mo In behalf of the Graduates to
return to you, and through you to the don
ors of these pleasant souvenirs, the sincere
and heartfelt thauks of tho recipients.
What memories cluster about the ring.
How many present this evening have pro
clous remembrances that are very dear and
lasting connected with it. History and bi
ography are full of Incidents. It Is said that
by some means William Penn had obtained
a diamond ring that formerly belonged to
Charles I. This ring had been kept as a sa
cred relic of tho unfortunate king, and had
been transmitted from father to son as a pre
cious heirloom. When Ponn desired to get
a new Charter for his Colony, he presented
this ring to James II. This simple present
did much, no doubt, toward securing the lib
eral terms granted In tho Charter. How oft
ten has tho ring been a link in the golden
chain of friendship, and to-night this little
token of esteem will odd strength to the
chain already strong.
As an emblem of eternity It fitly typifies
tho enduring nature of the friendship that
shall over bind the first graduates ol Brown
ville school to the friends who havo so gen
erously remembered them.
TheBrownvilleSilverCoruetBand,
always ready to aid on Buoh occasions,
and as an evidence of their apprecia
tion of educational efforts, favored the
audience with several well executed
and appropriate out-door pieces of in
strumental music as the finale of the
evening.
Altogether this was one of tho most
pleasurable events in the history of
the city and oursobools.
During the eveniug the following
telegram was received from the Nor
mal School:
Piru School, May 30.
To Graduating Class, Brownville :
Normal Class 1878 sends compliments, and
wishes you all abundant success.

SALUTATORY.
BY MISS CELIA FUEKAS.
Friends, Patron's and Students : In be
ualf of the graduating class of the Brown
ville High School, I welcome you to these ex
ercises hoping you will be pleased with our
work. This is the first graduating class sent
from this school. We trust many more will
follow with greater numbers, as well as with
greater efficiency and advancement. Many
changes have occurred since wo entered the
school, all, we hope, for the best Interests of
education and the welfare of this commun
ity. The greater portion of the class, at
least, will pursue further studies here com
menced. In future pursuit of knowledge we
trust our minds will not bo so engrossed as
to forget our younger school days. We grate
fully appreciate tho labors of parents and
teachers as well as the support of friends
and patrons. Many Improvements will
doubtless be- made as the school progresses
which will inure 0 the benefit of classes
taking our place in future. Do not fall to
glvo that attention and care to the Brown
villo schools, In future, for which you have
been characterized in the past. Not only
continue the interest in behalf of education,
but increase it. Much, not only of National
bat local prosperity and standing depends
upon the status and progress of educational
affairs. Everything connected with them
should bo of the highest order. The board
should be of your best men and women.
They, in turn, should see that teachers are of
superior grado and qualification. Teachers
aro leading, governing, moulding powers.
Tholr qualifications, morally, mentally,
physically and executively, should be of the
very best.
While these qualifications are essential as
to teachers, it matters not what may be the
superior proficiency and zeal natural or ac
quired unless aided by support of board
and patrons, tholr labors are well-nigh
thrown away and lost. Only by combined
and co-operative efforts on the part of all in
terested, can grand objects be attained. This
featuro in an educational system cannot bo
overestimated. Again we bid you welcome.
OUR. CAPITAL AND ITS INCREASE.
BY MISS CELIA FUKNAS.
Capital, as usually defined and under
stood, signifies accumulated labor, or wealth
used as a means of increase. Money is the
most important factor, though all
others combined with It, to aid lnproduc
tlon, aro capital. There are two classes or
kinds of capital material and Instrumental.
Material is tho basis upon which wo work,
and Instrumental the instruments and work
men. Both may bo dead or sunk 'capital,
that is, they may become dormant, or tho
medium through which to decrease the na
tional or individual wealth. Tho term capi
tal is used principally in connection with
monetary affairs, but this Is not all of capi
tal. The young minds are material capital, in
a crude state, ready for development. They
are deserving of the best and most careful
training, because they are to be tho moving
powers in after years.
Did you ever think that the little barefoot
boy running along your street Is a part ol the
nation's capital, and that by a little assist
ance from you ho might become ono of lead
ing minds 1 n coming yoars ? Do not depreci
ate his efforts in any uoble cause, but remem
ber that a word of encouragement from you
will havo a lasting effect, and lead him In
the path of right. Did you ever thliik that
tho young man standing behind your coun
ter Is a component part of the nation's capi
tal, and that when you harm him you de
crease it? When you realize that any harm
done him is detrimental to yourself, you will
treat him well, If only from a selfish motive.
Bee what mlud has dono for tho world!
Look at the immense wealth that steam
power has poured in upon it 1 This could not
have been accomplished without the assist
ance of mind. The work of Newton would
have been of no avail if ho had not possessed
a superior mind. Think of tho benefits that
have been realized from electricity, made
useful by Morse. He did not discover Its
use in a moment of time', bat it took years of
patient labor, with mind as the leading pow
er. Many homes have been saved irom de
struction by tho lightening rod, invented by
Franklin. That was Indeed a great inven
tion, but it was mind that formed and ma
tured the plan. The telephone which at
present Is creating such an excitement was
not constructed by chance, but after patient
thought and research, originating from a
well developed mind. We could glvo many
other examples of the past and present, and
by comparing tho future with what the past
has been, we see that what is needed Is su
perior minds -well developed.
How shall these minds be developed Is the
most Important question and the first means
Is the homo" training. The parents havo an
Influence greater than the rest OX the world
and they should constantly boon their guard
lest their influence should result in evil.
They lay the foundation of the child's char
acter, building It step by" ste"p,-erectlng-a su
perstructure finished and beautiful. As a
structure will fall if the foundation" is not
substantial, so a person will utterly fall, if
his home training has been neglected . You
therefore see what a responsibility rests upon
parents, and you should afford your children
every means of Improvement.
Next In responsibility are the teachers,
who havo an Influence second only to tho
parents. This influence will be for good or
evil, and they lead the minds of the students
higher or degrade them. As a block of mar
ble is placed In the hands of tho sculptor,who,
stroke by stroke shall form from this block a
beautiful statute, finished and complete, so
the pupil is placed under the guidance of the
teacher, who, by word and deed sha.ll blot out
all the Imperfections, so that he shall be ro
fined and Intelligent. This should be the
work of teachers. But isitmadesuch? Alas !
too often they enter the profession unpre
pared and utterly ruin the minds of the
young placed In their charge. Occasionally
their Is ono who objects to supporting the
schools who says : "There is no reason why I
shouldsupport the school I have no children
to send and therefore derive no benefit." Per
haps you have no children to send. Still does
not the education of tho young Increase the
nation's wealth, and are yon not interested
in Its success? As tho destruction by firo of
one house decreases tho nations capital, so
one neglected mind has an effect lasting and
detrimental.
The well educated, Intelligent, and Indus
trious child is the best capital the world pos
sesses. It is our duty to let none remain ig
norant, for in thus doing wo are leaving
them as non-workers In life. Theyaro Igno
rant of their duty, and cannot, therefore,
perform It. Such persons might bo termed
sunk capital. Ignorant people often think
they have no influence in tho .Torld because
they do nothing wrong. They have an in
fluence for good or evil; they cannot bo
neutral. Ignorance is not tho only cause,
for many are sunk capital through willful
wickedness. They will to do wrong, and they
let nothing turn them from this course.
WIU-poTer Is good in laboring In a glorious
cause; but, like every other good trait of
character, may do much harm. There aro
none who do not possess some good motive,
and they fall, not because they are naturally
depraved, but because it is their desire.
Lack of opportunity Is frequently the cause
of some becoming sunk capital. A boy may
possess fine moral traits of character, unsur
passed intellectual powers, and still amount
to nothing In the world, only because the op
portunity did not present Itself. Do not Idly
wait for the opportunity to come to yon, but
go In search of It, and you will surely suc
ceed If you aro only courageous and energet
ic. How many young men, in start
ing out in life, mako this great mistake,
thinking that all the good opportunities will
come to them. They are deluded, for nothing
valuable is procured by chance, but by hard,
attentive labor.
After all, tho great question is "How shall
we cause this lnorease of capital?" We
must all do our part, and each work as if tho
prosperity of the nation depended on our
exertions alone. Wo havo a short time, at
best, in which to labor, and we should
"Desire not to live long, but well;
Not years but actions tell.'
We should work with a zeal, no matter what
position in llfo wo hold. Mathews says :
'There is hardly any one who is not quali
fied to shine in some profession, and it is
better to bo at tho head of an inglorious call
ing, than at the foot of one the world calls
respectable."
In every profession It is always crowded at
the foot of the ladder, but there Is "room at
the top." Strive, therefore, to reach the top
most roandf for then, and only then, will
you be doing your part in this great work.
Although we have an Influence while on
earth, still that influence does not die with
us. That remains after we have past away,
having an effect,-gco or eviU
Think of the Influence that Milton has ex
erted, even after death. Every young poet
looks to him as an example which they will
do well to follow. Wo should, therefore, live
so that we shall leave behind usarecord( un
tarnished, that shall live yearsafter, helping
others striving to perform their duty.
In reality our lives show whether we are
increasing or decreasing the nation's capital,
and we might well saw with Frances Kem
ble "A sacred burden is the life ye bear;
Look on it, lift It, bear It solemnly.
Stand up beneath It steadfastly;
Fall not for sorrow, falter not for sin;
But onward, upward, till tho goal ye win."
Here, in tho regularorderfnwhich
they were delivered, should appear
the essay of Miss Church, and we re
gret that bhe refused us permission to
print it.3
WHAT TO DO, AND HOW TO DO IT.
BY "MISS FANNIE CHATFIELD.
The twn great question "What am I to I
do?" and i'How am I to do it ?" meet every
young person upon tho threshold ofllfe. VfS
will dd iVeil tliat for which we have thor
oughly prepared ourselves In order to be
come uscfull men and and women, we must
have something to do, and do this with all
our might. Nothing does more in the way
of making great men, than giving them,
when young, some kind of employment.
So many young peojle.spend their time In
doing a little of everything, and thus fall to
prepare themselves properly for anything.
If we wish to succeed, we must work tor one
object; for if we do not, we may acquire a
little knowledge upon many subjects, but
know enough of uothlDg to make It useful
to us. As soon as we are able to do one thing
better than any one else, there Is one life al
most sure to be a success. Wo do not mean
that a person should bo educated only In his
own profession, but that he should excel in
whatever he may choose as his life-work.
Any one who has acquired knowledge In
one direction. If he be an Intelligent person,
will at least acquaint himself with the
changes which are constantly taking place
in every-dayllfe. Before preparlngourselves
for a special vocation, let us be sure that we
have a talent In that direction. It wonldVf
sau, inueeu, aiier toning lor years to prerje
ourselves for any position, to And that we
would have been much better fitted for an
other. In choosing an ocoupatlon In life, we
should not look altogether from a selfish
standpoint, but consider, besides our own
pleasure, the good we may do to others. Let
us remember that true success cannot bo at
tained by satisfying a fiery and energetic
ambition, totally disregarding the feelings
and desires of others, for it consists of some
thing more than mere worldly success, aud
cannot be built up out of the reverses of
others. The world to-day stands greatly in
need of truly good and thoroughly active
persons. Many have tried to bo great and
failed; but no one ever earnestly tried to be
good and failed. Ot course the way to bo
most useful in the world Is to be both learned
and good. The person who Is both, has In
deed great power If he but work coutlnually
and with his might. It Is said "Man wastes
his mornings in anticipating his afternoons,
and wastes his afternoons in regretting his
mornings." In such cases as this true suc
cess cannot bo obtained ; and such persons
will find, when they step out upon the stage
of life, that they are unprepared to do any
thing for themselves, and must consequent
ly fall. If we expect our after-life to bo a
success, we must employ the golden mo
ments of youth in hard work. Cicero says,
"By living a good and thoughtful early life,
old age may bo tho happiest time of all." It
seems to me a great mistake that youth Is
necessarily the happiest period of life, for if
wo keep our heads and minds turned con
stantly toward the good, we may see to do
study groat men, boo.es and things, that tho
older we grow the greater amount of true
happiness wo may enjoy. But we see that
this all depends upon tho manner in whloh
we spend our youth. Had every one an ob
ject for tho accomplishment of which they
were bending every energy of both mind and
body, there would bo less frivolity, vice and
immorality, and how much better would tho
world be to-day. It is a historical fact that
tho hard workors of a country aro'unlversal
l'y the rulers. We can not depend upon oar
talents to bring us success, for as suro as we
do we will fall. God has given us whatever
We may possess of talent, and It lies with us
whether we shall becomo as shining lights in
tho world, or the reverse. It Is often the case
that men of tho greatest talent make the
most complete failures In life, while those of
only ordinary ability often become fomous.
Thus we see the talents possessd by a person
may either make or ruin him.
Our great men, as a rule, were not brilliant,
yet they possessed the talent for hard work
In an eminent degree. Longfellow says :
"The height by great men reached and kept,
Were not attained by sudden flight.
Bat they, while their companions slept,
Were tolling upward In tho night."
Young people should all have an earnest
desire for tho acquisition of knowledge. A
person In any business must be educated to
a certain extent If ne would be reasonably
successful. But In any occupatloit'tho edu
cated man Is much superiir to the uneduca
ted. Ono who has studied carefully the hab
its and lives of plants and'anlmals, Is much
moreapt to becomo a scientific farmer than
he who has not. The most of our discover
ies, Inventions and Improvements of every
kind are tho result of the efforts of educated
persons. Hence, wo see how important ed
ucation is to tho progress of our country.
Oar education will better fit us for every oc
cupation in life. How very- carefully then
should we improve every moment of our
school life. But how few there aro who
seem to realize that their success in afterlife
depends greatly upon tho manner in which
they spend their school days. The object of
every young womon should be the attain
ment of her highest good and the highest
good of those around her, for there Is no
nobler object beneath the skies. Wo want
our girls to excel In everything that Is pure
and ennobling and not In thoso things
which lead to frivolity. May they soon real
ize that it is not outward display that makes
the true woman, but her genuine worth. A
great number of our noblest women havo
been tho plainest. Many young girls do not
fit themselves for an independent position
In life becauso in so doing they would be
obliged to surrender the gay society which
they so much enjoy and rather than do this,
they, llko tho parasite plant, derive their
nourishment from the food carefully pre
pared by tho parent.
But how much superior Is the young Jndy
who has earned by her energy and self-denial
a position of honor, to the Indolent girl of
fashion, who lives for nothing but admira
tion and tho hope of some day making a
brilliant marriage.
What .great honor has for ages been be
stowed upon the young man who says to tho
world, "I Intend to be of some use to myself
and humanity," and on the contrary how Is
tho man contemned at the present time who
has spent his youth idleness and dissipation
and is unable, when responsibilities are
thrown upon him, to do anything for his
own benefit or the benefit of others. The
time will soon come when any person, what
ever may be his position In life, who Is not
prepared to be of some use, will be Justly
considered as worse than worthless by the
wholo world. Oh ! would that we all realized
the Importance of becoming noble men and
women, this should be the one great object of
our lives and with this in view we cannot fall
to do something, which if entered upon with
zeal and earnestness will make us purer and
bettor. God gave us our existence that wo
should mako the most of ourselves, and this
we cannot do by sitting with our hands fold
ed in idleness, but it must be by continual
labor for a definite object. After choosing
what we Intend to follow through life, wo
must thon begin the all important pre
paration. Many have seen the most brilliant
opportunities of their lives pass simply be
causo they lacked the necessary preparation.
A great share of our success In any thing de
pends upon the way in which wo havo pre
pared ourselves for its accomplishment. We
may be suro that we will occupy just the
position we havo won by our labor. Persons
are often heard to say that they are not ap
preciated, but if they will carefully study the
matter they will generally find that the
fault is with themselves. Wo do not mean
to say that many ore not unjustly condemn
ed, but if they have the courage and inde
pendence to endure the severe criticisms to
which they will unavoidably be subjected,
they will In time take their true position,
for true merit will always reveal Itself. Al
though many llko Milton die before becom
ing really known or appreciated, yet poster
ity always "carves for them niches in tho
temple of fame
Let us rest ensured that whatever we have
really won we will receive, for although tho
world is the severest critic, yet it is tha best,
and for all It Is so fall of sham, yet It hates
pretention, and Is constantly sifting for the
real. As to how to do whatever we have un
dertaken in life, after having thoroughly pre
Sared ourselves for"the right thing, wo will
Dd necessary for its pursuance, an earnest
lovo for the work, and this, with Incessant
labor will surely bring us success.

THE AVO&LD MAN'S EMPIRE.
BY B. F. LORANCE.
Boundless aro the' realms of spaco which
surround immortal man. Strangely multi
form are the innumerable creaidres whltih
inhabit this orbicular earfh. Ihtermldabie
is the web whose environing threads weavo
about man the eternal fabric of being; and
matchless are the nnseen silver wands which
bind together the different parts of man's
organism, constituting bhn a paramount In
dividuality From this high position man looks far out
into the world, and there ho beholds the sim
plicity of construction, tho harmonious ac
cord with whloh everything moves on, the
design manifest In every living creature; al
so he looks at himself and beholds him a
complete mechanism.
Then strange thoughts arise In his mind,
and he is made to ask Was tho earth al
ways as beautiful as 11 Is at the present mo
ment? Has man always ruled supremely
over land and sea, and called them his own?
Turning his eye down the vista of by-gone
ages, when time was not; when tho germs
of life silently slept their lethargical sleep
In homely chaos; when not a sound issued
forth throughout the long solitary depths of
tho universe, and shrouds of darkness alone
ensphered this uninhabited, dreary earth,
how boundless the thought, that In those
dark hours of lonely solitude every particle
of matter which now is, the tissue of every
living creature, man himself, and even the
brain which stirs tho depths of the world
with scientific principles, slept together in
the same dark cbarnel. Y'et, as those lark
ages Issued forth from the depths of eternity,
the great designer looked far down through
their dark, dim shadows, and saw the earth
as it now is. He knew full well that the
world in lonely solitude could never sing
praises to and glorify Its creator. He there
fore breathed upon It the eternal breath of
life, and the web of being ramified the earth
to its utmost bounds. The world is now
finished, and certain it is that It has been
made for some purpose. The earth has not
swung round through space these countless
ages for nothing. The sun has not lent his
powerful rays through these long centuries
for mere pastime. The azuro waters which
cover tho mighty deep havo not been gath
ered together in one place, simply for the
abode of finny forms which may chance to
sport therein. The land has not been reared
from Its onco aqueous home, and beautified
with undulating hills and lofty mountains,
alone for the hungry wolf to prowl among
its lonely haunts.
The skeletons and foot-prints, in revealing
to us tho grand day of the past, from their
rocky ledges, tell us that the earth was in
habited by huge and strange forms long ages
beforo the period of man. All, from the tri
loblte to the huge mastodon, had a," function
to perform. Thus, reiterating, the world was
made for some purpose. Even the little peb
bles that lie scattered all over tho northern
plains of this coutlnont, havo not been
placed there without design. Though voice
less may be their Instructions, yet most
forcibly do they teach us, that one day they
dwelt in n clime far north of wheio they
now rest, and that they have been transport
ed to their present position by mighty rivers
of ice. which at that time moved slowly
down from the north to south, thus grinding,
heaving and preparing the unshapely hills
to be Inhabited by man.
Though long age3 have elapsed since that
most wonderful epoch.and though no human
being was present at that time to behold
them, as poised upon those Icy walls, slowly
they glided down ; yet, that such did come to
pass. Is substantiated by the Indelible writ
ings upon the pages of the book of nature,
where the Almighty invariably stamps tho
mlsterlons workings of his omnipotent
hand.
After this mighty revolution all was silent
In the eternal depths of the sea; tho land
stood forth In iter garments of beauty. No
more the Ichthyosaurus sported In his native
home ; tho Iguanodon forever ceased to bask
In the noon-day sun. All was silent all
vros beautiful. Down In the deep, dark vaults
of the earth were garnered treasures, and
out through, the long bine depths of space
there twinkled shining orbs.
Then came the creation of man, the most
noted epoch within tho earth's existence.
Look at him! He Is tho grandest and no
blest that ever breathed the vltalalr of heav
en. Within him there moves a spirit and
mind, which nre mysteriously wonderful;
and around him the entire world of being
acknowledge his supremacy. The dark, rock
caverns yield up their costly treasures to the
powerful stroke of his majestic hand. The
vivid lightnings that flash so carelessly
among the floating clouds, tamed and fet
tered, are to-day, by their unseen power,
spedklbg speaking the thoughts of man
throughout the civilized world. Mighty
structures stand forth to proclaim his excel
lency ; and by his power the laws of nature
are deviated from their course, and made to
work wonderful mysteries.
But with all hls'powe'rl'inan looks back
upon the silent cities of the past, within
whose walls there sleep the bravest, aud ho
realizes mat his little boattoo, will soon
havo anchored In Its haven under the hill,
and the home where once he dwelt he will
dwell no moro; but as the time over which he
has passed can never die, so the spirit which
In him moves will live on parallel with'the
ages of eternity. And as there was a period
when the earth did not movo Itself beneath
the web of life, when the ant knew not its
terresral hill, and finny forms rejoiced not
of their aqueous home, so there will come a
day when man, and every living thing, will
sleep together In one cold, -dark charnel;
wheu this earth, ensphered with oblivion's
dismal shroud, will roll uncontroled through
space in the lonely solitude of endless night.
And though no sound of music or living
thing shall ever mar the eternal silence of
her motionless tomb; and though man, af
ter that final day, shall never again gaze
upon her In her majestic splendor, yet his
soul will ever be content to bound on through
the Interminable relms of etherlal spaoe, and
study tho siderlal march of grander spheres.
VALEDICTORY.
BY B. F. LORANCE.
Now, friends and patrons, It is with regret
that I address you with these few parting
words. Many times, upon proper occasions,
have we welcomed you, and many times
have we bid you farewell; but to-night you
have come together to harken unto parting
words which never before have Issued from
our lips, and perhaps for the last time have
our voices commingled as scholars of the
Brownville school.
Within the clear ringing sound of that old
school bell have we grown up from Infancy.
All through these long years you havo
Watched us with interest, and with anxious
hearts have you ever followed us, as In our
childhood-days we passed to and from that
building. We have garnered treasures which
the trying vicissitudes of life can only more
precious. Silently have the invisible influ
ences of the school room instilled themselves
Into our beings, and have moulded and
shaped our characters into whatsoever fu
ture years may prove them to "be. That
school room has been our home; our hearts
cling close to its sturdy walls. Time cannot
separate ns therefrom, nor can tho dark
hours of life's long journey obliterate tho
bright scenes of our school days.
To the trustees, who have from time to
time superintended our affairs, we return
many thanks for the laudable efforts which
they .have put forth in our behalf. Though
we have partaken freely of the benefits de
rived from their many endeavors, yet we
hope that those who may come after ns may
labor under even more favorable auspices
than ourselves.
Many haye been the teachers that have
surrounded Us throughout our school days.
All have given their tlmo and Influence that
we might share In the great work of life.
Though some we may cherish above others.
yet our memories run back alike to all. Oar
associations with the present teachers have
been very brief, but the pleasant hours
passed with you in the school room can nev
er be forgotten. Those lessons we will ever
cherish; and tho bright scenes in this year's
labor will, in the future, be thesoUroe or
many pleasant reflections.
We have been Kurrounded through our
echool days by class-mates and students
which aro near and dear to ns. We mnst
now part with you. We say unto you : La
bor, for in labor lies all reward, and without
labor all is vanity. We have only to regret
that from- tho large numbers that started-
with us in tho fall, only four stand bo foro
you to-night. Perhaps it Is for the best that
the others have fallen by the way. But we
must remember, that if wo are going to suc
ceed in this life we must make the best of
every advantage given us.
Now to my companions which surrbhSd
ine. For a long tlmo we hare" labored' to
ge'ther. Many have been ths precious hours'
which wo have passsif in the school room.
You knb'w that there we have enjoyed priv
ileges which many have been denied. You
know that we have been surrounded by
precious Influences, of which many of our
friends know nothing. But those precious
hours and surroundings we can never more
enjoy. We look out before us, and up from
tho bright days of the future there comes a
thought: Where will you and I stand in
twenty years from to-night? The teachers
and dear friends that now surround us,
where will be their vocation? Who will
then welcome the people of Brownville?
Who will then bid them farewell? These
arp thoughts that sink deep Into our very
souls. Now, whatever may be your future
calling, I shall expect to hear of your abund
ant success..
Again I bid yon farewell to all, fa-ewell.
CLOSING
REMARKS BY
KEMZ1E.
PROP. 21c-
Gradhates or the Brownville High School :
It Is fitting at this time that you should carefully
retrospect the past, and candidly, truthfully, yet
calmly survey the fields that stretch out before
you, the true arena of your life's real work.
To-night you erect your first monument, or
plant, as it were, a corner post from which to
reckon your future lines and angles, as you run
the courses of your after-life. This is the first
victory; and. knowing, as I do, something of the
pleasure that throbs in the breast of the young
man cr women when any goal has been reached,
after an arduous struggle with difficulties, I here
by congratulate you on the achievement already
made, and would not in any degree abate or dam
pen this joy by ominous or untimely words of
future toils and sorrows. What you have al
ready done can hardly be overestimated if prop
erly viewed. The knowledge acquired, power
to think, the ability to systematize and utilize
that thought, the habits of patient, close, earn
est study, a will under the full control of en
lightened and well disciplined reasoning faculties,
made thoroughly active by high motives and
lofty ambitions, are grand acquisitions.
The possibilities before you cannot be esti
mated. Infinity alone can measure the results
within your grasp. Like the man standing be
fore the massive iron doors of treasure-filled
vaults, you have the key and the magic numbers
of the intricate numerical combinations in your
possession, and the untold wealth, the universe,
lies before you. Apply the key and enter; fill
you coffers, revel in the luxury that true wisdom
alone can give. But do not forget the treasures
are not your own until the store is entered and its
riches appropriated by your own personal efforts.
The banker may yield to other hands his key
may deputize a servant to fetch this golden treas
ures. But not so with mental wealth. With
intellectual treasures, the possessor cannot acquire
by proxy. Whatever of toil is incident to the
acquisition, he must undergo. Whatever of
weariness inheres in the getting, he must endure.
Toil by the earnest seeker is gladly borne, while
thick along the way are seen its rich fruits ; and
you well know that certain victory awaits the
efforts of the faithful, constant, intelligent toiler.
The read to true greatness lies very near the
beaten track of ordinary life. You need not
search for, or long to find, your field of labor.
The secret promptings of your own heart, and
an enlightened judgment, are usually safe guides
to a choice to your proper field. Do nor mistake.
The highway of every true life passes over moun
tains of difficulties, through deep valleys of sor
row, disappointments and afflictions; over rug
ged places, obstructed by brambles of envy ; en
twined by the poison-ivy of slander ; and over
the rough rocks of bitter, selfish opposition.
But the brave heart will overcome them all.
Let your path be right onward, with integrity,
honor, truth, virtue, and the graces of temper
ance, patience, charity and forbearance as con
stant companions. You will succeed. The good
and noble, the brave of all ages, have traveled
the same road before you. It is the king's high
way ; and though apparently a toilsome and des
olate way to most of mankind, yet to the true
hearted traveler it is a pleasant path, for all the
evils that throng it are but the hedges on cither
side.
You leave these halls to-night. The throng
ing memories of the past come thick and fist
about you. Scarcely a year, it seems to you,
since first your infant steps ran eagerly forward
to welcome the teacher of your earliest school
days. Yet years have flown ; teachers changed ;
step by step you have moved forward and up
ward ; companions of early school days, one by
one, have gone from you ; some to sleep on yon
der hill, others to take a part in the stern battle
of business life. Little by little have the diffi
culties and intricacies of science, literature, math
ematics and language, been mastered, until to
night only four of all those hundreds that in all
these years thronged those halls, are left. You
gaze about you. Many others gaze and wonder
why so few are left. Is the prize so little worth,
that you should thus have won the goal alone ?
Or, have you, in your zeal to reach, showed a
lack of wisdom ? Look over the records of past
achievements. Who were the victors ? Some
few, unaided by the schools, have made them
selves a name; but the grand army who have
gone forth to certain victory were first in the
same arena where you stand to-night. Let no
young man or woman lightly esteem the garland
that the schools bestow upon the faithful pupil
when his tasks have been completed, and he
leaves the halls for wider fields of labor. It is a
constant benedicaion, a crown of glory, that he
carries withr'him in every walk of life. Are ti
tled honors nobly won and worthily borne,
lightly esteemed by men? Is it no honor to
wear the badge that bespeaks the man a fit asso
ciate for the greatly learned of earth ? If badges
of honor, rightly bestowed, gives any man a title
to respect, whom snall"we consider more deserv
ing than the faithful, earnest student?
It gladdens my heart, and the hearts of the
members of the Honorable Schcol Board, to be
privileged with the task of bestowing these hon
ors to-night. You have done well and nobly,
and if true to yourselves, you need not fear, in
the race of life, any former companion who has
ignobly left the field. The advantage is greatly
on your side.
The means already yours, will grow ; strength
increase, knowledge enlarge, experience give
wisdom, in the exercise of present acquirements.
And would you have freshness and vigor, push
hard the object of your life. Waste not in idle
dreaming your precious moments. Let your pur
poses be grand and ennobling. Would you have
an enduring monument to your greatness build
it of human hearts. Let acts of unselfish, self
sacrificing devotion to 'humanity, lift the race.
Go up, first, yourself; the race will follow.
Finally, in all your ways, forget not that the
eye of the Master is upon you. "In all your
ways acknowledge him, and he will direct yotir
path."
Preventing Further Retirement of
Legal Tenders.
The following is the full text of a
bill to forbid further retirement of
United Slates legal-tender notes:
Be it enacted, etc., That from and
after the passage of this act It shall
not be lawful for the Secretary of the
Treasury or other officer under him,
to cancel or retire any more of United
States legal-tender noteB. And when
any of said notes may be redeemed or
be received Into tne Treasury unaer
any law, from any source whatever,
and Bhall belong to the United States,
they shall not be retired, canceled, or
destroyed, but they shall be reissued
and paid out again, and kept fn circu
lation : Provided, nothing herein
shall prohibit the cancellation and
destruction of mutilated notes, and
the Issue of other notes of like denom
ination In their stead, as now provid
ed. All acta and parts of acts In con
flict herewith are hereby repealed.
It now goes to the President for his
signature.
Ohio has been redlstrlcted and..ar
ranged for the Demooratioslate. The
Democratic political lines are wonder
ful to behold. An engineer could not
survey one of them' with any ordinary
instrument, and could not even walk
along the lines until his fegn were
limbered and hiB eyes croofcpd by the
r the
it is
aid of Uemocratic juice. 3Tow
proposed to redistrict Missouri so as
to sweep the entire state. Go ahead
Democracy, if thees little munenvera of
the leaders do not wake the loyal sen
timents of the people to a aeuse of
their danger nothing will. Inter
Ocemt
Grandly Sublime.
We seo them all as they march
proudly away under the flags, keep
ing time to the wild, grand music of
war marching down the streets of
the great cities through tho towns
and across the prairies down to the
neias ot glory, to do ana to die for the
eternal right.
These heroes are dead. They died
for liberty they died for us. They
are at rest. They sleep in the land
they made free, under the flag they
rendered stainless, under the solemn
pines, the sad hemlocks, the tearful
willows, and the embracing vines.
They sleep beneath the shadows of
the clouds, careless alike of sunshine
or of storm, each in the wludowleas
palace of rest. Earth may run red
with other wars they are at peace.
In the midst of battle, in the roar of
conflict, they found death. I have
one sentiment for the soldiers living
and dead oheers for the living and
tears for the dead. Ingersoll on Deco
ration Day.
