at that time. The copy of this paper

use and aue, that we are uuab.e to
decipher the entire exercises ; but give
all that we can make out.
In the article which we reproduce
will appear many n cues, with which
most of the older class of our readers
will be familiar, uud which will doubt

1n so lengtby and complicated an
examination, it is difficult to make ac
curate distinctions, and the hoard of
trustees and visitors do not pretend to
say but what they may have awarded
the first honor where it was not due,
and withheld it where it ought to liavo
been awarded; but if they have, they
have this consolation, that they did not
do it knowiogly or wilfully—there are
so many different dispositions, some are
bold and undaunted, while others are
-more timid, and cannot express them
selves before an audience; Yet their
talents may be superior to some who
are less timid. The students general
ly performed well, wo believe to the
satisfaction of the audience; & we feel
it our duty to say, that the Rector of
the male academy, and Trustees of the
female department, deserve much cred
it for their unreuiitted attention to the
instruction of students committed to
their care; both in scienoe and morali
ty; and we believe that the rudiments
aud principles ofthe English language
are taught in both departments, with
as much purity as io any institution in
the state ofthe same kind, and in the
male department, the Greek and Latin
languages (so far as we are capable of
judging) are as perpectly taught as in
any academy in the state.

Spoopeii i.yke Marts a Fire
[Brooklyn Eagle.]
•Mr. Spoopendyke! ’ called Mrs.
Spoopendyke from the bead of the
stairs the morning after the sar
dines had been disposed of. ‘Mr.
Spoopendyke !’ she called, in a
shrill falsetto. The only answer
from the bed was a loud snore.
‘Mr. Spoop— ’
‘Well, holler again!’ yellod Mr.
Spoopendyke, springing up in bed.
•What ails you? Think I’m deaf
out of one ear and can’t bear out of
the other? Think I— ’
‘Why. no. my dear, but I thought
you might he asleep. You know I
called you twice before you answer
ed. I don’t think you heard me.’
‘Did bear you,too, but I thought
it was a fishhorn. All it wouid
take to make a steam whistle of
you would be a locomotive to put
vou on, Do vou ’van* anything?’
‘The fire in the furnace has gone
out,’ said Mrs S.
‘Oh, has it?’ yelled Mr. S , and
he dropped over and laid his nose
against the cold wall. ‘What has
it gone out for, to take a walk?
S’pose Pro going to get up and
start it at this time of night?’
‘But it’s six o’clock, and I’ve
been up an hour.’
Mr. Spoopendyke bounced out
of bed, caught up his coat, and
tried to get his feet into the sleeves.
Mrs. S., went down stairs to get
the kindling. Presently Mr. S..
came down and stalked to the
woodshed. A few minutes after he
called to his wife to knrw where
she kept the sa.v.
‘Why, where di 1 you put it when
you had it last.’
‘Oh, I dug a hole in the garden
and buried it; then I planted a
cabbage over its grave. Don’t
think I swallowed it, do you? Oh,
you’vo got it, have you? \\ here
did you find it * Here, give it to
me,’ and he grabbed it and sawed
bis fingers across the teeth to see
how sharp it was. Every tooth
left its mark. He dropped it on
his toes with a yell of despair, and
howled and danced around the
room as if he had a small dog at
his heels.
‘Did you hurt you, dear?’ asked
Mrs. $ , sympathetically.
‘No, of course it didn’t hurt
I’m just dancing to keep warm,
•just trying to work off my spirits,
you know.’
And with a terrible grin he
grabbed his saw and started to file
it. Just us two laun. i' .rtfi .etnng
down to breakfast, Mr. S. walked
in with a basket of charcoal and
saw.
‘Come into breakfast.’ said his
wife. ‘1 have started the fire.’
‘Why, have you. my dear?—
Where did you get the kindling?’
‘I split up a board I found in the
barn.’
‘Tho deuce you did; you’ll ruin
me yet. Did you know that was
black walnut, and I paid a dollar
for it? Oh, you ought to have
been a business man. All it would
take to make a Jay Gould of you
would be a hatful of United States
bonds and a few railroads.’
And Mr. S. helped himself to a
plate of beefsteak, and let his food
stop his mouth,
znrtls anti Politicians.
[Texas Siftings J
It has been observed that there
is a strong family likeness betweeo
chronic office seekers and buzzards.
Their lofty flights have the same
purpose, viz: To soe where there
is a good chance to provide for
themselves. There is also very
much in the average political con
vention to remind one of the dele
gation of buzzards assembled about
the remains of an old 4 dead cow or
any other animal that is not strong
enough to defend itself. If the
number of buzzards is small, and
there are enough offices to satisfy
the most influential delegates, then
the proceedings of the convention
are conducted with singular har
mony and lofty courtesy, but thero
is an entirely different kind of mu
sic in the air when the animal to
be divided out is small, and the
number of empty delegates to be
provided for is large. We were
once an eye witness to the lack of
courtesy that prevailed at a con
vention of that character It was
on the suburbs of a Texas city,
where somebody had thrown out a
dead cal to be raffled for. It was
a very small cat, when the number
and size of the buzzards were tak
en into consideration Three or
four buzzards immediately under
took to "secure the Domiuation.'’
Oi e seized it by the tail and came
very near getting the nomination
by acclamation on the fir9t ballot,
but another buzzard, who also had
claims on the y arty, gobbled it by
the other end, and it became evi
dent that a contest was unavoida
ble. They tugged and pulled, hut
all in vain. There was a dead
lock in the convention. Neither
candidate eoull command the re
quisite two thitds vote to carry
the nomination. The candidates
got very red about the neck, and.
hopping side-rays at each other,
struck viciously with their wings,
uttering a peculiar kind of a biss.
like thit of a goose. We could
not. of course, understand ha>
they said, but very likely, when
they craned out their necks at each
and hissed, it meant ‘‘false to your
party!” “Where were you during
the war, while I was in the army! ’
or some ether unkind allusion.—
While these two candidates were
squabbling as to which of them was
entitled to the nomination, a dark
horse in the shape of an unexpect
ed buzzard scooped down enexpect
edty, and, before the regular can
didates could recover from their
astonishment, carried off the nomi
nation by the tail
Wliat Voices Imlietile.
There are light, quick, surface
voices that involuntarily seem to
utter the slang, ‘I won’t do to tie
to.’ The man's words may assure
you of his strength of purpose and
reliability, yet his tone cotitrad.cis
his speech.
1 nei> snore m e - .i, -w-vxp, —-M
voices, where the words seem
ground out, as if the man owed hu
manity a grudge, and meant to
pay it some day. That man's op
ponents may well tremble, and his
friends may trust his strength of
purpose aud ability to act.
There is the eoarse, boisterous,
dictatorial tone, invariably adopted
by vulgar persons, who have not
sufficient cultivation to understand
tbetr own insignificance.
There is the incredulous tone,
that is full of a covert sneer, or a
secret “You-can’t-dupe-me-sir”
intonation.
Then there is the whining, be
seeching voice, that says “sycho
pbant” as plainly as if it uttered
the word. It cajoles and fla'ters
you; its words, say, “I love you,
I admire you; you are every thing
that you should bo.”
Then there is the tender, rausi
cal, compassionate voice, that
some tiroes goes wivh sharp fea
tures (as they indicate merely in
tensity of feeling) ar.d some times
blunt features, but always with a
genuine benevolence.
If you are full of affection and
pretenso, your voice proclaims i.
If you are full of honesty, strength
and purpose, your voice proclaim
it.
If you are cold and calm and
firm and consistent, or fickle and
foolish and deceptious, your voice
will be equally truth telling.
You can not change your voice
from a natural to an unnatural
tone, without its being known that
you are doing so.—[Ex.
