D. We make this abstract of it: YALEDICTORT APPBK88 BX PROfESSOR B. TSf- 0Sl, Mi B. Development is a characteristic Of humanity progress an inevitable law of our being; existence to Us sequence would be as Impotent as an etrort to prevent an infant becoming a youth or a youth a matured man. An all-wise Providence seems to have ordained that he who possesses the God-like nature of man shield begin his existence in a form and with capacities not above the humblest creature that lives but the man should rapidly develop from this low estate Bhould assume the form of humanity and then should go on In an ascending career of progress, the sub-limer portions of which, in our present state of xtstence, we canaot even conceive of.

Progress, laeiefore, gentlemen, liresistlble, absolute, upward, onward, is your Inevitable portion. This day we meet you to celebrate a most interesting and important epoch in your development. This day the University of Pennsylvania has set apart to greet you as her new-born sons to acknowledge yon as her children, to enroll your names In the honored list of Ji hose who claim her as Alma Mater to bless you and then bid you God speed in your great mission of good to humanity. For years you have looked forward to this day, for years you have labored to deserve Its honors. Self-denial aid toll have characterized your efforts.

The crowded lecture-room, the hospital ward, and tile anatomical department have been your places of abode, and now, as I look round me, the pallid cheeks and attenuated forms of many of you tell how untiringly you have struggled to wrest from Nature those great secrets the knowledge of which renders thfir possessor potent for so much of evd or good to his race. The goal has been reached, the honor won The ceremonies of to-day make you men. Byhoidaui tae age of dependence are passed. Manhood and the age of self-reliance and action are upon you. A lew weeks, or at most 'a few months, will Und you busy participants iu life's great conflict, battling with warm hearts aud stout arms to win for your-eelves a place and a name among the men of your generation.

Old ties are now suddenly to be rent New associations are to be made. The homes of your childnood ring no longer with your boyish Bhouts. The boy has gone out into the world to bind himself with new ties and to make for himself a new home; and his young heart, agitated by its tumult of emotion, throbs joyously in anticipation of his coming life, lie dros a tear to departing childhood and deserted friends, and then presses on into that future la which his fate is to be decided. "lo-oay, no doubt, each of you, looking into that future, endeavors to catch a gllmpBe of the fortune which awaits him in that shadowy land of the "To oome;" but the cloud which obscures it is brilliant with a heaven-lit radiaace, and its far-off sounds that the straining ear eagerly catches are melodies ravishing in their sweetness, and burning words that sneak of all that is good and great and blissful In store for you. Your reason tells you that there are mountains then, but your fancy represents them as mountains like Pisgah, beyond which lies tbe fairy land of promise I Every one of you who hears me to-day, no muter bow practical, how matter of fact your dispositions may be.

loves to gaze on this beautirul though obscure vision of the future, anl listens with delight to the distant strains of coming joys and, gentlemen, far be it from me to say one word which for a moment may lessen the charm of this delightful illusion. The human pilgrim, In his Journey through life, when he reaches that part of bis pilgrimage whert you now are. always gets into the high lands of the beautiiul; there joyfully he lies down to sleep at ntght, and the angels of the country whisper into his ear unutterable things. The coid-blooded cynic says, '-Fool, to be so happy here, andto ba deceived ty such lying words, when beyond shall most surely come pain and trials; friends shall prove false and lovers untrue; wealth shall elude the grasp, or if secured, be but an additional load to weigh down the weary traveller. Honors, so eagerly sought, if obtained; will be found to be but bright garments used to envelop acblDg hearts, and the ignis atuvs of hope, which now so brightens the pathway of life for this siiiy pilgrim most surely at last shall go into a grave!" Gentlemen, th cynio is wrong, his philosophy is false.

This commonplace lamentation over youth's folly In giving way to the happiuess springing from its so-called illusions as to the future is an lusult to a beneficent Deity, ttovtdenoe aeems kindly to have ordained that every maa at a certain part of his career shall be traiiBflijured, as it were, in the shadowy glories of the future i(rtea for the time at least, are not shadowy real, and afford true happiness to the soul. But, artor ml, What man lare say that these visions of youth are absolu-e Illusions? May they not be trutliful rtfrartiun ofreali-Jim existing- in another state of belli ul. nn certain conditions of the moral or InteUwctati atmosphere cause the shores of another world, tuougn vrdinaritu entirely invisible from this, to loom rn 4'Ul of the ocean of eternity, and thus enable tha mind's eye to catch tome of the glories of that country where we We, In a future state of existence, la another cycle of being, to go oa 10 our wonderful Far be it, therefor, from me to say aught this dsy which In any way shall trnd to make you less happy. My heart wonld beat this morning only In nnison with yours, and my fancy wonld fain catch the rich reflections of glories which I Know Irradiate yours. This day shall be one devoted only to Joy, and yon will admit with me the truth that the great object of existence is the attainment of happiness.

Success In life is a most Important element in human happiness, and the question of first Interest to the young man abont to begin his career Is, Bow shall I win that success in life lor which I hope and after which I strive? And perhaps I cannot do you a greater service than to give in parting with you to-day a few hints on this very important subject. Dr. Penrose then followed lu some suggestions with regard to the dualities the possession of which he feemed essential to the success of every man, and concluded with the following remarks: Go forth fearlessly Into the fields of your professional labors. Be earnest, be single minded, be true to your putlents; cultivate those qualities of heart and manner which are to essential to success, and as sure as l.e wise roan of old spoke truly when he said, "I have been young and now am old, yet have 1 nevf seen the righteous forsaken or tils seed begging bread," as this is true, so surely shall you meet with that professional reward to which you shall be so richly entitled. And now, gentlemen, we bid ton farewell 1 We have labored together.

and to-day Is the end an end that la but the begin-nlrg. Human progress may be as illimitable as that eternity in which it is destined to develop, and the completion of one cycle may mark but the commencement of its successor. The thought is glo rious, but most solemn. The first cycle in man i development is purely physical, the second largely moral, and wnat the next shall ne is tn, lor us, un solved problem of another life. But if the promises of the future may be hoped from observations of the past and present, we may reasonably believe that the development In the next cycle of human existence shall ss far transcend the conditions In this, the second.as they perhaps do those manifested in the first.

You leave ns, gentlemen, bearing a burden of precious seed. God grant that It may jieia a ncn return. Go. then von loved ones are waiting to greet you. I know full well their anxieties for you during your absence from your homes, i now many a gentle mother this winter has hourly suhed her prayer to a God of promise that Be would protect her darling amidst the dangers and temptations of a great city.

I know the joy which was felt when that letter came which announced at home glad tidings of vonr success. A letter, perhaos, which was sanctified by the silent tear of joy of a glad father or a proud motii who read in it that their dear boy had at length obtained that hot or for which he had labored so hard and sacrificed so much; or it may be, perhaps, gentlemen, for some of you that when the news was told yonr friends a pair of bright eyes grew brighter and a fair face more beautiful. It may be, perhaps, that for some of you, in fond hopes of your speedy return, that a tender heart, even now, is boating its love marches in quick time. Go. then! Mav yonr fondeat hones be realized: may fortune crown and affection hallow jour future home, and when at length another land shall have been reached, may it be said of each of you that a gooa man naa gone to nis reward.

FROM WASHINGTON.

Santhern Outrages. Special Despatch to The Evening Telegraph. Washington, March 14. The Republican Caucus Committee of the two houses held another meeting this morning for the purpose of perfecting a bill for the suppression of the Ku- Rlux. The committee was not harmonious, several members of it opposing that feature of the proposed bill which gives the President power to enforce the orders of the United States Courts by employing the army and navy.

It 'was agreed by a majority to submit the bill to the Republican caucus before reporting it to either house for action. The Senate will adjourn early this afternoon and go into caucus. The House will hold a caucus this evening. The Main Feature of the BUI is that all evasions of or offenses against the fourteenth amendment are hereafter to be con sidered crimes against the laws of the United States punishable by United States courts. Where civil process is obstructed the President is authorized to enforce the mandate of the court with the military and Baval power of the Government.

The Fourteenth Amendment is construed as guaranteeing protection to life and property to citizens of the United States in the eeveral States. This, it is believed, will cover the case of the Ku-klux and make them amenable under the bill. The Forelau Relations Committee of the Senate organized to-day, and Mr. Came ron declared his intention not to resign at present. With the exception of a few treaties there 's notnlng important before the committee requiring action at the present session.

The Senate Flounce Committee. met this morning and directed Mr. Sherman to report several bills which failed at the last session. Among them is a bill authorizing the national banks to issue new notes for mutilated notes. The Senate by a vote of 32 to 13 tabled the House resolution for adjournment.

Special Despatch to the Evening Telegraph. Harrisbcro, March 14. At the hour of ad journment (I o'clock, a new feature has appeared in the course of the Commission bills. As already telegraphed, they were ordered, by a unanimous vote of the Committee on Municipal Corporations, to be reported negatively. After this action was taken the bills were dis tributed among the different members of the committee to be by them reported at the proper time' in accordance with the instructions of the committee; but it must be understood that the bills have not yet been absolutely reported.

If it should happen that either accident or design prevents the bills from being reported, it will be within the power of a simple majority of the House to take up the bills and pass them after they have laid for ten days in committee. Under this phase these bills are not yet absolutely killed. fit is tolerably certain from the above that our noble legislators are playing a little game with the public. The bills will undoubtedly come ueiore tne nouBe in regular shape, and will as undoubtedly be passed if the citizens of Philadelphia do not make themselves heard in an unmistakably emphatic manner on the sub ject.
