'Speeches were made by Ruftis Chdate, Edward Everett, Gov. Banks, Wm. Lloyd Garrison and his followers; John. Ho'nies was the city orator President. Buchanan, Senator Crittenden and' Robt.

C. Wmthrop, wrote letters, and the proceedings of the day were generally enlivened by a prodigious display of military splendor, fantastical parades of "fast" young men, a regatta, a double balloon ascension, The city orator, Mr. Holmes, made a cruel hit at the Garri-sonian school of professional philanthropists in the course of bis oration. He remarked There are among us men who live upon alarm and terror who fatten upon public tumult, and find no peace in the still movement of ordinary political life. Take away their power of disturbance, and they would die from want of means of a living, or come as their proper destiny is, to inhabit the madhouse or workhouse.

There is no meaner animal than the professed philanthropist, who, under the pretense of feeling for public and political wrong, gathers to himself a good living, and always leaves the objects of his charity as they were, and where they were, as the sentimental capital of his future harvest. And out of this sectional temper of the time, there has arisen a lusty crowd of such partisan philanthropists, who work like rats in the dark, and co adjutant with the selfish politician above ground, live and move to one end to blindly, foolishly destroy the united, essential power of these broad States. Perhaps such vermin must exist, but let the heel of every honest American be upon their heads." Mr. Everett spoke to the Democracy of the Revere House. He indulged in a bit of personal reminiscence: As long as I was in public life, I was a member, as you know, sir, of that old Whig party to which you have referred the national Whig party a political nssnr.iation.

The following, frota the.lredell Express with some additions, is summary of the -transactions at the recent-meeting' of-the State Educational Association at Statesyille It bing the design of the Association to give a full report of the proceedings of the convention held at Statesville, commencing on the 7th of July, in the Educational Journal, we will only append such general information as will not anticipate the interest of the official report when it shall appear before the public. The Convention organized by calling Prof.

Richard Sterling, of Edgeworth Seminary, to the Chair, and appointing Mr. E. W. Whitfield, of Tawboro', Secretary. One hundred and thirty-five delegates and members of the Association were present, and a very large number of spectaters, of whom many were ladies.

Of the members, we noticed the following distinguished Professors and Teachers in Colleges and Schools in this State Rev. C. H. Wiley, Professors Hubbard, Sterling, Cleg, Craven, Faucette, Jones, Johnson, Branson, Tucke, Merritt, Campbell, Monison, Ramsour, Foote, and May hew. Among the divines, we noticed Messrs.

Smith, Pharr, Press-ly and Holmes the Press was represented by Messrs. Cole of the Greensborough Times; Campbell of the Educational Journal, and Drake of the Iredell Express. The report of Mr. Wiley upon the Educational Journal, established as the organ of the Association, through which to communicate with teachers, trds ttes and the public upon subjects pertaining to the advancement of the cause of education in the State, imparted much of interest as an important aid in facilitating the great and paramount work in hand of educating the masses. Though commenced during a period of great monetary difficulties, and especially untoward for such enterprises to succeed, the journal has pushed onward, and, with a proper degree of friendly aid in which it is hoped all will join, will be permanently established.

He was satisfied that the journal, both in matter and in typographical execution, was superior to most of its co-temporaries in many other States and the British Provinces; he was also satisfied that the journal was indispensable to aid our school system, and should be liberally subscribed for to that end by teachers and heads of families; views in which all should concur, and heartily support.

Prentiss Tucke, of Raleigh, delivered an Essay on Normal Schools, qualifications of teachers, The address was replete with practical suggestions upon the subject of school-instruction, and spiced with passages of oratory and polished diction that flow only from the mind of the hundred thousand dollars. ce one For the manufacture of arms at the national four hundred thousand dollars. armories AN ACT to authorize a loan not exceeding the twenty millions of dollars.

Ohrint.in ArWnfnto tvill nlonco rnnv until Lhe 19th July, and send accounts to this office. were Dwerraiit j- understood HM ly a custom was established which has been handed down to speculative Masons, brethren, we have met here to day to Jay the corner stone of a Temple of Justice, where vthe law should sit supreme in its majesty, holding with impartial hand those golden scales in vmch are weighed life, liberty, fortune, and sacred honor. Here the weak should find protection from the oppressor wrong, and the voice of truth, virtue and innocence which pleads mightily, should always here prevail. Let us endeavor to do our duty to society faithfully and fearlessly, that justice may always be triumphant. Let no record here ever bear evidence of a Mason's crime, or of his wilful wrong to his fellow.

May justice never desert this her sacred shrine, but always administer the law in its purity, unswayed by prejudice, uninfluenced by station or wealth, and undeterred by power. Brethren, we have Master Builders here to-day, who have laid the foundation of this Temple of Justice. They have already built for themselves a character and name which honor them, and will be a rich legacy to their children. Beneath their skilful hands this structure will rise in strength and beauty the pride of our county.an ornament to our town and I hope it may remain an enduring monument to the liberality of our people the faithfulness of the Committee, and the taste and integrity of the Architect and Builders. The corner-stone has always been regarded as the most important and essential part of every edifice.

It should be laid firmly and securely, for if removed, tho beauty and strength of the edfiice is de stroyed. This ceremony should teacn us now important it is, to lay properly the corner stone of every moral edifice. It should teach us our duty to ourselves, our country, and our God. We should remember that honesty, virtue, and truth, are the only sure corner-stones on which the edifice of character can be erected, which the breath of calumny can never tarnish the undercurrent of envy, and the storms of malice cannot over-turn, and the lives of trial and persecution cannot consume. With such characters, we will become corner-stones, binding together the elements of society in order and harmony, and giving strength and proportion to the whole structure.

This ceremony should also remind us of our duty as citizens. The corner-stone of this glorious fabric of freedom under which we live, is the Constitution, surrounded by the virtue, intelligence and patriotism of our people. Holier offerings than corn, wine, ana on, were maue hi hs cuuseci aiun. It was consecrated by the prayers and tears of our fathers by the purest, best blood that ever flowed from patriot hearts, and by the blessings of our God. May it always remain as sacred and inviolable as the Ark of the Covenant, untouched and unpolluted by unhallowed hands; and may this edifice of freedom continue to rise in glory and beauty, and like the Temple of old, be sanctified by the presence of God, and be indeed "the joy of the whole earth." Lastly, Brethren, this ceremony should teach us the importance of building the edifice of our spiritual hopes upon the "well trked and precious cornerstone which God has laid inZion." Build on this sure foundation, and the rain may descend, the floods come, and the winds blow, and beat upon that house, and it will fall not," but shelter us in security and peace; and when our earthiy house of tliis tabernacle shall be dissolved, we will have a building of God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens." REMARKS OF MR.

RE ID, OF NORTH CAROLINA, the Senate of the United States, June 5, 1SJ38, In on the death of Senator Henderson Mr. REID. Mr. President, the event which causes the Senate to mourn will cast a gloom over the native, as well as the adopted State of the deceased. General Henderson was a native of Lincoln county, North-Carolina, and descended from an ancient and honored family.

He chose the legal profession, in which he was eminently successful, till, inspired by a laudable ambition, he left the State to unite his destiny with Texas in her gallant struggle for independence. The part he performed in that contest forms a conspicuous place in the eventful history of that State. After Texas achieved her independence he was honored, at different periods, with the appointment of Attorney General, Secretary of State, and Minister to France. These positions he filled with fidelity and marked ability. He was one of the commissioners appointed by Texas to negotiate with this Government in relation to the annexation of that Republic to the United States.

The active and elficient part he took in the consummation of- this great measure is fresh in the recollection of his countrymen. He was a member of the Texas convention, and subsequently Governor of the State. Then resuming his profession, in which he ranked among the first lawyers of his State, he pursued its practice till called, by the unanimous vote of the Legislature, to fill the seat in this body, made vacant by the death of his lamented predecessor, who, I believe, was his law partner. During the short period he was permitted to occupy a place in the Senate, though oppressed by a fatal disease, he won the friendship of all, and evinced to the last that patriotic devotion to hiscountry which had characterized his whole life. His career has been distinguished and useful, without a spot or blemish to dim its luster.

The Senate and country will long cberish his memory, and his friends may point to his eventful history with pride and pleasure; but, to the wife of his bosom, and the children of his affection, the loss is irrepar able, and brines with it an anguish that no tonsrue can describe. I hope they may find consolation in their sad affliction, for virtue, though planted in earth uncemal clime. will bloom and ripen in heaven Ocr Schools. -The Schools of our village will soon commence operations. We have recently spoken of the Female College, under Mr.

Mills' charge, and of the female Seminary, under the control of Mr. Venable, but we have not alluded recently to our Boys' Schools. The next session of the Classical and Mathemati cal School will begin on the 3d Monday in July, under the most flattering auspices. The Principal, James H. Horner, has earned a reputation at our University, as a preparatory teacher, which is second to none.

Indeed, we would not be extravagant, if we were to boldly assert tfiat he has won a position in the estimation of the Professors of that venerable institution, which places him above any Southern preparatory instructor. His success in this place has been great, and we believe that at this time nearly or quite a tenth of the pupils at Chapel Hill were prepared by him. And he has he conso lation of knowing that many ol them are taking the highest honors. Mr. Horner's assistants are thoroughly competent.

The Rev. T. I. Horner has given the most ample satisfaction in the branches which he teaches. Mr.

Joseph Venable, an alumnus of our University, at which he was graduated with the first honors, is a well informed and industrious scholar, and bids fair after a little more experience of being a skilful instructor. lhe first session of the other school under the direction of the Board of Trustees of St. John's Col lege, will begin the second Monday in July. The Trustees set forth that under the direction of the Grand Lodge," they "have made arrangements to open in the beautiful edifice already completed, a School preparatory to any American College or University, under the superinndence of Mr. Ash-bel Brown, formerly Adjunct Professor of Latin and Greek in the University at Chapel Hill, and more recently the Principal of a Select Classical School at Oxford." They go on to speak in high terms of the qualifications of Professor Brown for his new post, which we can with conscientious pride endorse.

We once had the pleasure of reciting to him when a student at the Hill," and we then thought him by far the most interesting teacher there at that time. We know this in addition, that many years afterwards his reputation as a capital teacher was high, although the corps of Instructors had greatly increased. We take it that the man who can win his spurs as a successful teacher at Chapel Hill, has every qualification for the position which he is about to assume. Professor Brown has had, besides, experience in preparing boys for College. He has a capital assistant in the person of Mr.

James Campbell, a graduate of our University, and a teacher of several years experience. We have no doubt that the School will commence under the most advantageous circumstances, and -will consequently be a success.

Those in the secret anticipated that she would not discover the mistake until the proceedings were over, and that her design would be thus frustrated.

It was nearly so. Recognized as soon-as observed, her voice was nearly drowned by the shouts of Sir Edward's supporters, but Sir Edward's eye caught hers, and his face paled. He looked like a man suddenly attacked by paralysis. Those near him say he trembled exceedingly. For a few moments he retained his position in front of the hustings, but turned his back on the unwelcome Then he suddenly disappeared below the hustings platform, while his wife cried Coward," and he havy ing hastily signed the usual declaration, escaped into the residence of the gentleman on whose grounds the election took place.

Lady Lytton continued to address the audience assembled for more than a quarter of an hour, repeating her statements in her pamphlet, and asserting her intention to confront her husband on every possible occasion until she compelled him to redress her wrongs. Her ladyship subsequently made an application to the Mayor for the use of the Town Hall, for the purpose of making a public statement this being refused her, she left the town early in the afternoon. Lady Lytton arrived in Hertford at 3 o'clock on the morning of the election, having posted from Taunton, where she resides. It is needless to say that the event described has caused the greatest possible excitement in Herti-fordshire. BY AUTHORITY.

ADDRESS BY ROBERT P. DICK, Delivered on the 26th of June, 1858, at the laying of the Coi-ner Stone of Guilford Court House: Brethren Ladies My Countrymen: Nearly thirty centuries ago, King Solomon stood on Mount Moriah, to lay the foundation of that mag-ni6cent Temple which he bad prepared to build unto the God of Israel. Around him were Master Builders and expert Craftsmen, well skilled in all kinds of cunning and curious work, who had come from the tribes i Israel, and from Tyre and Sidon by the sea. Before him were collected the olive-wood, fir-trees, and cedars of Lebanon, stones well polished and precious from the distant quarries, and his coffers were overflowing with the jewels of the East, and the gold of Ophir. Deep and strong were the foundation stones laid, and slowly and silently the grand structure rose beneath the eye of the Master Builder, and the hand of the cunning Craftsman.

For seven years they labored, and no sound of axe, hammer, or any tool of iron was heard, neither did any jarring discord disturb the peace and harmony of that fraternal band for though they were of different tribes and nations, there was a secret mysterious influence which made them dwell together in unity. When the Temple was completed, Solomon came with numerous offerings and costly and precious incense to consecrate it unto the Lord. What a grand and wonderful spectacle was there presented From Dan to Beersheba; from the mountains of Gilead to the sea, the Tribes of Israel had come up to the consecration. What patriotic pride and rapture must have filled every Hebrew's heart, when he beheld the Holy Temple over-looking the sacred City of his Fathers! There it rose magnificiently beautiful, like a mountain of polished marble, covered with the living golden sunlight, gleaming like the smile of God. Well now might Jerusalem be called "The City of God," and Zion "The mountain of His holiness," beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth." Well now might every Hebrew exclaim, If I forget thee, Jerusalem, may my right hand forget her cunning.

If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to. the roof of my mouth If I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy." But the Hebrews soon forgot the God of their Fathers Israel was severed in twain the Egyptian spoiler came, and the glory of the Temple was desecrated. Still they would not hearken unto the voice of the Lord, and He gave them over into the hands of their enemies. Then he ruthless Chaldean came and the Temple was overthrown. The Ark of the Covenant was carried away with unhallowed hands, the Shekinah no longer dwelt between the Cherubim above the mercy seat the voice of the Urim and Thummim was hushed no longer did the altar smoke with the acceptable sacrifice and holy incense the captive children of Abraham left the sacred homes and graves of their fathers, and in sadness and sorrow eat down by the dark waters of Babel, and hung their tuneless harps upon the willows, and they wept when they remembered Zion." The building of Solomon's Temple is an event of peculiar interest to every Mason.

Then was organized that institution which he so fondly cherishes, and which has conferred so many blessings upon the human race. Many of its mysteries existed before that period, but Solomon, the wisest of men, first reduced them to a system of order, harmonv and beauty. More than a hundred thousand Craftsmen were then bound together in a holy brotherhood by links more precious than the gold of Ophir, and they have proed to be indestructible by time. After the completion of the Temple, our Ancient Brethren became despersed in every land and clime, and carried with them the sacred mysteries, and the sublime and beautiful truths which have been handed down to js. Amid the gross moral darkness which for ages covered the earth, they preserved the great and sublime truth, that there is but one God, and the of man is immortal.

Faint indeed was the holy light that shone upon their pathway. With anxious eyes they watched the little star in the thick darkness, and with longing hearts they desired more light, but they were unable to attain unto the excellence of a perfect knowledge. And there came "the voice of one crying in the wilderness, prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight" and then the morning star of Bethlehem ushered in the Glorious Sun of Righteousness, and the good tidings of great joy were proclaimed unto all men." Far be it from me to compare Masonry with Christianity. The one is as-inferior to the other as the works of man are to the works of God the one may assist in teaching us the second great commandment, "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself" the other alone can teach us the first great commandment, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind." Christianity is the great living light which covers the earth wherever it falls with glory and beauty. Masonry is one of the lesser lights casting the reflected rays of brotherly love, virtue, and charity into many a human heart; it soothes the widow's wounded heart, and stops the orphan's tear.

No good Mason can disbelieve the truths of the Christrarj religion. It is not my purpose to enter upon the history and benefits of Masonry. My information would not permit, even were it appropriate to this occasion. Suffice it to say, that the institution has existed for nearly thirty centuries, survived the wreck of empires, passed through the fiery furnace of persecution, and increased in wisdom, strength and beauty. It seems to have the vitality of truth, and the diffusiveness of light Nearly every where you can find Masons whose hearts wlil kindle with brotherly love at the mystic signs and tokens of our Order.

They dwell in the majestic forests, where the Columbia and Willamette are flowing among the Rocky Mountains where the homeless trapper and gold-hunter are roving amid the ruined palaces of Lhe Montezuma's, and in the golden land of the Inca's. in the sunny isles of the sea" where aromatic odors from spicy shores" are breathing, where the Acasia is smilling and the Arbutus is ever in bloom. You will find them in China and Japan and they followed Havelock in his glorious inarch, and their Wood was poured, and, their shouts of triumph heard along the blazing lines of (fawnporeand Liick-now. They still dwell by the Euphrates and in the holy land beside the majestic tombs of the Pharaoh's, and along those classic shores where Athene is mouldering, and the Eternal City" sits in bondage and weeps over desecrated altraa and the graves of her glory. I know that it is a matter of surprise to many persons, that Masons should be selected to lay the corner stones of buildings.

UntiTa comparatively recent period, all Masons were operative orkmen. They erected the most magnificent structures that ever rose upon the earth. They were the promoters of all the arts and sciences, and were very familiar with those beautiful styles of architecture which have so long claimed the admiration of the world. In the middle ages they were selected to lay the foundations and build the cathedrals and sacred edi fices, for they were the most expert and scientific workmen, and generally lead virtuous liyes, and which no one need be ashamed. The prostration of my health compelled me, four years ago, to resign the honorable post which I then filled in the public service.

Since that period, new parties have been organized; old ones have either retired for a while, at least, from the field, or have been forced in some degree on new issues; and if I felt the slightest inclination, (which I do not,) with the partial restoration of my health, to return to public life, I should be deterred from it by the fact that between the extremes ol opinion which distract and threaten to convulse the country, I find no middle path to practical usefulness which a friend of moderate counsels is permitted to pursue. Statesmanship, as it was understood in my younger days that is, the study of the foreign relations of the country, its defences, naval and military, its currency and finances, its internal improvements, its great industrial interests, and the relations of the Government to Indian tribes, has almost become an obsolete idea, and our political life has assumed almost exclusively the form of sectional agitation. Into that dreary and profitless agitation I have no heart to enter." Mr. Everett added For myself, I have found in every part of the country generous traits of character, vast and well-understood capacities of progress, and hopeful auguries of good and taken in the aggregate, they are the abode of a population as intelligent, as prosperous, as moral and as religious as any to be found on the surface of the globe. There is one little corner of each which I should like to annihilate if 1 could wield a magician's wand, I would sink it to the centre.

Its name is Buncombe not the respectable county of that name in North-Carolina, against which I have nothing, to say, but a pestilent little political electioneering'Buncombe in every State and every district, which is the prolific source of most of our troubles. If we could get rid, sir, of Buncombe, and if we could bring back the harmony which reigned on the day which we celebrate, and the days which preceded and followed it when Massachusetts summoned Washington to lead the armies of New-England when Virginia and Carolina sent their supplies of corn and of rice to feed their famished brethren in- Boston; when Jefferson and Adams joined hands to draft the great Declaration if I could live to see that happy day, I would, upon my honor, sir, go to my grave as cheerfully as the tired and contented laborer goes to his nightly rest. I shall, in the course of nature, go to it before long, at any rate, and I wish no other epitaph to be placed upon it than this: Through evil report, and through good report, he loved his whole country." Gov. Banks, having been called out at the City Banquet, also gave a morsel of his own personal history "There were many reasons, individual as well as as official, why he was pleased to join with the citizens of Boston in the commemoration of this day. He begged leave to say that 7ie helied to build this city himself.

In its darkened shops, upon the printing presses and engines which have contributed so much to its glory, he gave the toil of his outh, and were it necessary he could still return to them. Those localities he never passed without emotion. Although subsequently admitted to the profession of the law of which the orator of the day was so distinguished an ornament -his memory still reverted irith pleasure to the days which he passed in those worksnos, for there with those who were associated with hiin, were passed many of the happiest hours of his life." A Wokd of Cai Hon. We learn from the very best authority that Mr, McRae has utterly failed to impress the Eastern people favorably with his Distri bution and anti Railroad doctrines. His proposition to stop our works of Internal Improvement until we obtain from the General Government a portion of the land fund with which to prosecute the i is so ridiculous, so suicidal to the best interests of the whole State, and so grossly unjust to the Western people, especially, that the citizens of the Eastern and Middle portions of the State revolt at it, and spurn it with contempt.

It is now believed that those portions of the State which he has visited will give a majority of two to one against him. As the Candidates expect soon to be in this section, it may not be amiss to put our readers on their guard, lest they be misled. Mr. McRae has traversed the whole Eastern and Middle portions of the State, denouncing the taxation by means of which our Internal Inprovements have been made, and declaring that he would not recommend the appropriation of another dollar for that purpose. As he ap-pioaches the West, however, there is a perceptible change in his position and by the time he gets under the shadow of the Blue Ridge, we should not wonder if he is a tolerably fair Railroad man 1 Mr.

McRae is a shrewd man, and we suspect he is playing a game which is not put down "in the bills." He knows that there is no earthly chance of his election as Governor, but may he not so divide and distract the Democratic party as to secure an opposition majority in the next Legisture, who will be bound in gratitude to Mr. McRae, for services rendered, to send him to the United States Senate? Let the Democratic party see to it that this nice arrangement be knocked into the middle of the next century. In order that there may be no shifting of positions when the candidates get among us, we quote from their speeches at Clinton, in Sampson county. Keep your eye on Mr McRae, and see whether he talks here as be did there. Judge Ellis said No new appropriation could be needed for either the Wilmington, Charlotte and Rutherford Road, or the Western N.

C. Road that he believed the appropriations already made would be sufficient to complete these works, and at any rate could not be exhausted for some years to come if these appropriations did not fully complete these works he believed that it would be right and politic for the State, when the time came, to grant the neccessary assistance, rather than to let works in which she had taken so large an interest, fail for want of a comparatively very small amount of money. He would allow the AT. C. Road to progress simultaneously on both sides of the mountains.

He would recommend to the next Legislature to treat the Fayettville and Western Road as well as it has already treated either of the other two." Mr. McRae said For himself he would not recommend the increase of the State debt to the extent of one dollar for any work of Internal Inprovement now in progress in North-Carolina." Asheville News.

gifted and accomplished scholar. He alluded to the Prussian system of Normal Schools as being entirely inapplicable to this country and asserted that the system adopted in some of the Northern States had resulted in a failure, which was evident from the fact that a very large majority of the teachers now employed in the best schools were not graduates of Normal Schools. It was his opinion that a system might be adopted that would supply the demand for teachers in the State, and give ample satisfaction. advocated a system of Graded Schools for public education, and thought that a judicious plan of Primary, Grammar and High Schools supported by State, County and Corporation taxes, would give general if not entire satisfaction. He alluded in emphatic language to the necessity of moral and religious instruction accompanying mental training and intellectual developvmcnt.

On Thursday at II o'clock Rev. Dr. Nott, of delivered an address before the Association which was spoken of in the highest terms of commendation by all present. He very earnestly recommended that females should be more generally employed as teachers, and fully believed that in Primary, Common and High Schools, the-y were more competent even to give instruction and govern than most males, and related several anecdotes and incidents directly to the point. He was of the opinion that women was designed to be useful as well as or-namentaffSand it is sincerely to be hoped that this hint may lead to some very desirable practical results.

At 3 o'clock P. M. an Essay, written by Mrs. Delia Jones, of Clayton, Johnston was delivered by Mr. Jones, of It was evidently the product of a highly cultivated mind that aims at correct views in the practical matters of life.

She alluded to the necessity and importance of females being employed in some occupation of usefulness, and thought that they ought never to be admitted into any order of practical know nothings or do nothings. It was read in the presence of a very large assemblage, and elicited the warmest approbation. At an election held for officers the ensuing year, Rev. Clegg, of Oiin, was elected President, and the other functionaries may be ascertained from the Educational Journal. The subject of Common Schools was warmly discussed, and it is quite evi dent that the incalculable amount of good in an education point of view that will result from Common Schools properly established and furnished with competent teachers, is beginning to be sensibly felt.

It is high time that each County had established an- Educational Association of its own In many States where the Common School system has been in operation for a considerable length ol time, Select Schools and Academies have ceased to exist, except such as were established with funds for the express purpose of giving instruction in the Classics, Higher English branches and Ornamental departments. Females are employed in many of them during the whole year. The Association transacted a very extensive amount of business, matured plans which will be productive of much good in advancing the cause of education in our State henceforth and not the least important result will be the cultivation of those fraternal feeli ngs of friendship and love which ever should characterize a brotherhood embarkedin so high noble a calling. Several ladies became members of the Association, and it is sincerely to be hoped that next convention a much larger number may be added. The hospitalities of the place were tendered to the delegates, and everything tended to make all feel quite at home.

The occasion will long be remembered by all present, and will create sympathies that will withstand the lapse of years, and inspire pleasurable emotions when the green leaves that now clothe the forests will be mingled with the earth. A Word to Society. Our young men are a painful study. As they lounge about the street with bold, leering faces, poisoning the air with oaths, or whirl madly along behind lashed horses, or loom up dimly amid the smoky glare of haunts of foil', sin and shame, it is sickening to think that with them rests the future of the country, and in th-m lies its hope. It is no wonder that the hearts of fathers and mothers and sisters are filled with dread and grief.

No wonder that the perpetual and earnest advice to the young man is to go into ladies' society." The advice is good. There is positive safety for him in the society of a modest, gentle, kindly and sensible girl. There is comparative safety for him in the company of a vain, giggling, trifling, girl. The most empty headed and empty-hearted of coquettes is a more harmless companion for him than a cursing, tippling fellow, who thinks all manner of silliness and sin manly, and will travel fast, although hell yawns at the end of the road. Yes, young man's salvation is in the sweet smile and voice, the beautiful graces and accomplishments of some fair creature, attractive alike in mind and body.

But your young man dare not go and see a young woman he fancies, and make a friend and companion of her. Will not all the Mrs. Grundies think and say that it means something, and immediately and vigorously set to work to whisper their suspicions loud enough for the world including the respective families of the young persons to hear them? Is not your young man a flirt, a desperate fellow in whom there is danger, if he is known to go to see half a dozen girls at the same time? Has not this propriety which pervades our fine modern life something to do with the terrible outlawry and vicious-ness of the young men? Has not rigid, ghastly etiquette driven them from the parlor to the rum-shop, and worse In the days when some of us were boys and girls, it was not a proof that two young people were engaged to be married that they were often together, happy in the interchange of interest and sympathy and all kindly feeling. And somehow there were better boys than there are now. And better girls too, for that matter.
