More than the waste of physical power, of time, and of money the waste of the intellectual and moral faculties. The mind may soar to the heavens or grovel in the dust. It may converse with the learned of all or spend itself on trifles. Though holding tee price in their hands with which to get wisdom, how many barter it for a mess of potttge and fail utterly to secure the end for which their godlike powers were given to them.

On a table in the same room were a large number of charts of the constellations, drawn by members of the atitronomv class from actual observation.

MOODY'S MISTAKE. rwrnlanea EvtJcnce Against Hlnsaelt. The case of Moody, charged with forgery in connection with the forged will of Jchn M. Todd, is biing heard before Judge Greene and a jury. The Jjrosecnticn is introducing the.

same evidence as at the previous trials to shew that the will is a forgery. During the trial of the will contest Moody was Called as a witness in the case. He was asked by Mr. Martin to write the name of Morton Todd, J. M.

Ttdd. S. Milbury, and Xovember 8th. The defendant- wrote the names and date in ink. Ncthing was done with the writing during the will contest and nothing more was thought of the matter.

Detective Harry Moras preserved the writing and yesterday the prosecution offered it in" evidence against the defendant. The prisoner was taken by surprise and his attorney strenuously opposed the introduction of this document in evidence, but his objection was overruled. Expert Gumpel was then called and raade a comparison of Moody's writing with the writing of J. Todd and "Nov. 8" in the visitoi's book of the Pioneer The witness said that hecould not give a positive opinion that the defendant wrote the name of J.

M. Todd, as he did not have examples enough to make the comparison. He compared the writing November 8th in the book with that of Moody's ana said that in his opinion it was done by the same The. witness showed that the figure eight in both cases was made exactly the same. 'I his, in his opinion, was a strong point.

He said that, as a general rule, when a man was trying to imitate handwriting he would invariably make figures in his own way. The case is on trial this afternoon, i. ST. JOSEPH'S INSTITUTE. PIED.

ISAPORC M'GRAW. In her essay on "Eccentric Ceniuses," Miss McGraw denied Seneca's proposition that there is no great genius free from some tincture of madness; indeed, some of those who have this "tincture of madness" are those who, though they imagine themselves geaiuses, are at the most ordinary creatures. Among the "disagreeable, proud, and disclaimful geniuses," Miss McGraw names Frederick William, the renowned father of Frederick the Great, and gives a graphic description of his character. Beethoven, Samuel Johnson, and Joseph Turner, the great landscape' painter, were cited as examples of eccentric genius; and Miss McCraw closed her. essay with the hope that this view of great, persons would console some of us for our lack of genius.

I MISS HKLEH I HDRD. 1 The title of Miss Hurd's essay waa 'A Picture Gallery' and it was a most charming bit of critical description of each member of the graduating class a well written paper, humorously suggestive throughout of the art critica of the Journals and magazines. When, in reviewing the twenty pictures, she came to her own she said; "The twentieth and last port raid is one hhich wouldx not interest you being only a fugitive sketch that by mistake strayed into this apartment; so we will turn its Jace to the wall aWhe easiest way of disposing of it. 'This collection of twenty will soon be scattered. The portraits will be removed, and find homes in other galleries.

We imagine that the faces look sad at the thought of parting even as we glance at them, the eyes grow dim we fancy they understand that they will never again be placed together in the same place and under the same circumstances." i A duet, Anna by Pinsuti, was rendered by Miss Ballard and Miss Kimball, closing the first part of the programme.

The first mentioa made music in the Bible is in Genesis, when La ban rebuked Jacob for departing without the harp, tabret, mirth and music. The ut of music was given to man jfor noble md sacred purposes, for it conveys senti-raents of passion, heightens the emotions of sorrow and Joy, refines the feelings, derates the affections, softens the iobdurate neart, and directs the mind of man toward iieaven. Wei call to witness both thehia-ory of music and the different formn it has issume in SBCcessien, that we cannot dis-ensc with, three essential elements hythm, melody, and harmony.

Whether he predominating element be rhythm, as a the ancient music of harmony, is in the highest forma of sacred music; or melody, as in Italian opera; in its essence, nusic remains one and the same, like a leity having many attributes. Music is the iBiversal language of mankind, by which mnian feelings are made equally to i miss jeaxettk "Veneering" was the subject of Miss 'aulseU's As the real substance 1 value of a delicate piece of furniture re often hidden under a thin layer of eneer, so are many characters disguised false exterior.

In distributing the diplutnas, Dr. Horton addressed the graduates as follows: Young I Aid It of the Class of '87: The pleasant duty falls to me to congratulate you upon tbe successful completion of your course of study in this institution, and by the authority of its Board of Trustees to deliver to you these testimonials of scholarship.

By this act we set up another milestone on your journey of life, and engrave upon it she record of success achieved. May your ever subsequent milestones bear as fair an inscription, and furnish as cheerful reading to those who come after you. You have commended yourselves to us by your diligence and thoughtfulnes in your studies as well as by your deportment, and the example that you have set before the lower classes. Thus you have made the work of instructing you a pleasure and that ofdisciplining tbe school much easier. Mingled, therefore, with the pleasure we experience on this occasion as we enter into your uppermost thoughts, is an equal experience of sadness when our theught.

returns to ourselves, to your deserted rooms, and to these halls no longer lighted and gladdened by your happy presence and merry voices. Thus upon the threshold of life you learn the lesson that will ever recur to you as years roll by, that joy and sadness are ever mingled, that every major strain of exultation has its sad, sweet minor undertone of regret Perhaps it is better thus, for there is a joy of Incompleteness. friends were never sick nor sad, What service could we render? I think, if we were always glad, We scarcely could be tender." But you will bear our love with you as you go out to those broader activities for which youhave here laid sure foundations, and you will carry love in your hearts for us wherever tbe favoring or adverse winds of life may waft you; aud though seas-and continents may lie between us, your thoughts will often turn to the old home and your feet will seek these well known Saths as often as opportunity may afford, ut your eye is to look forward while the heart may look backward. Duty, stern duty calls you. and sentiment must give place.

The watchword of duty is faithfulness, and, as you go. ever take the words inscribed beneath thia well known face, "Be thou faithful unto death." In every action aud fiber of i your being be true: resent the slightest suggestions of insincerity from within your own heart or from without as adeadly affront. To God. to all your relations ri life, be true. So shall peace fill your hearts.

So shall usefulness crown your days. So shall your life sink to its westering with every promise of a glorious to-morrow. Go forth to win laurels for yourselves -aud honors for us while we go forward here, making it every year more and more of an honor to you that you were graduated from this institution. "The Lord bless you and keep yoevj The Lord smile upon you and be gracious.unto you. The Lord lift up the light of his countenance upon you aud give you peace." Amen.

It is a seminary, after all, not yet unsexed by ragged Greek and hoary Latin, considered so essential in the growth, development, and Intellectual excellence of a college. It Is still a seminary, thoroughly and beautifully feminine, where womanly traits and womanly virtues are instilled In hearts ready to receive them. And it is a home in every sense of the word, here the sunshine of smiles and the purest and truest friendships ever beam. This has been a happy week at the seminary commencement week. To those who live amid the beautiful srarroundinfrs of the seminary the air hA seemed balmier, the flowers more fragrant, the songs of the birds sweeter, and the sepbyrs that rustled the clustered groves beside the murmuring streams softer, and more refreshing.

Xach day the cloud shadows have chased each other across green fields, and along the wrinkled slopes of the hills. The sun has marked its solar time (six minutes behind standard time) almost every hour from daylight to dark on the handsome marble dial presented by the class of 1887.

There were happy greetings and merry laughter on every hand, and that portion of the building fairly buzzed with the babel of voices eagerly conversing upon every subject within the comprehension of the feminine intellect especially.

The concert was under the direction of Professors Kelleher and Lisser, and they are entitled to a very considerable share of the credit contingent upon the eminent success of the programme rendered. The concert opened with a chorus, "Voices of thewestern Wind," by Barnby, followed by a minuet, as a piano solo, by i Miss Jessie 8. Wright. The vocal' solo, "At Thy Desire," composed by Ritter, was sung by Miss Dora lC Goodsell in clear, birdlike tones, each syllable and tone as distinct as the music of a silver bell.

"Moral Currency Debased by Funny Literature," was the rather odd subject treated by Miss Jacks, who, in her premises, stated that we pride ourselves upon living in an earnest age, but in spite of its prosaic nature there is a tendency to treat lightly matters which should be regarded witn all possible seriousness. No sentiment has been too sacred, no sorrow too profound, for our vacant and shallow nineteenth eentury laughter to pro fane. We observe this same tendency in the speeches we hear, in the pictures we look at, and iu the books we lead.

Though not actually vicious, funny writings, by their style and tone, debase morals, weaken character; injure literary judgment, -Rud lower delicacy ef feeling.

Among examples of sensible, recreative; and elevating wit may be mentioned the writings of James Russell Lowell and Washington Irviug. To prove that true humor of lesser intellectual worth isplenti-ful enough, we bring up in evidence such -works as those oi Bret Uarte and Charles Dudley Warner. To be sure their genius has not the 'literary excellence ofia Dr. Holmes, nor is it so stimulating or profound, but it moves the mind in the same quiet way, and possesses the same interest that comes from the philosophical treatment of local material by a quick, delicate, and refined mind.

"Life is Lent for Noble Deeds," was the jtitle of Miss Woods's essay, a well written paper in which it was argued that life is not made up of heroic deedr, great or illustrious actions only; that we cannot all hope to accomplish acs as valiant as those achieved by Joan of Arc, but whatever we do, however trivial the act, it can be ennobled by the spirit in which it is done. It. is the careful, oousci-entiotis attention to what are called little things that makes the great beauty and success or life.

i MISS El ROBERTA WILSON. The essay read by Miss Wilson was a charming comparison between a bubble, that bursts as soon as it is rounded, and life.

And the Board of Trustees, since it assembled yesterday, has had a new and unexpected pleasure in the reception of a communication announcing the gift of fOO.OJO, from a lady, for the endowment of a professorship in the college. This was a great surprise, as well as a great gratification. If it had been a legacy from some wealthy person, who, having enjoyed and handled his wealth as long as he could, made provision in his will that after he was gone it should start on a mission of higher usefulness; or if it had been a donation of some rich man here or in the East who looked over the country to find an object for his superfluous thousands, wSerethey would be pre-emincntlv helpful in raising the culture of womau; or if some lady who had amassed only enough to erect one monument to her memory and was wise enough to think that no other monument could be more lasting and noble, or leave so permanent a stream of good influence to refresh and quicken the higher education of her sex, our surprise would not have beeu so great. But the gift was not from a person of wealth; or one past the ability of enjoying the uses of property, or one who has not already erected a proud monument to her memory in the interest of Christian education. It comes from oue who has already devoted a large part of her life and means to this purpose, who has gained a record that would seen to need no addition, except as a -consecrated spirit can never satisfy itself for its objects and say enough; from one who gathers up out of remaining properties these toO.OOO, and makes this supreme contribution.

begins her essay on "Our Foremothers." Many a volume, she says, recounting the brave acts of our forefathers has been written, and well written, but no one can be fonnd extolling the valor and heroism of our foremothers. She then proceeds, in a most convincing way, to show how the pilgrim mothers and the mothers of the revolution stood side by side with the men, exciting them to deeds of bravery, and how they educated their sons to follow the footsteps of their fathers. Our foremothers were great in their victories at home, helped to lay the foundations of what was to become, in after years, a glorious republic, and what has been said of g.eat men is true of the noble women: "fhey are the fire-pillars in this dark pilgrimage of mankind; they stand oa heavenly cigns. cerltstine witnesses of what mav still be-the revealed, embodied possibilities of' human nature."

Of late a proeese has been discovered by which the portraits of a number of individuals may be concentrated into one. The resulting photograph contains some characteristic of each of the faces, although the originals were not similar.

Comb-tuning the elements we find that it gives us a picture distinct and beantifuL Not one has been destroyed, but each stands out clearly a before, its beauty increased by union with the other two. So speaking reverently, wo may "say the truly symmet- rical character is gained only as we come to him: who alone is perfect, and learn of him, the God man until changed from glory into glory we awake in hia likeness.

His home was abroad, his household the people of Athens; from early morn till late at night he was con-stantly in public.
