Novel Features in a College Course.—Last
Wednesday, at the twenty-fifth Annual Commen
cement of College Temple, Newnan. the twelve
young ladies of the graduating class read essays
not only composed, but set in type and printed
by themselves. The twelve neatly printed com
positions were bound together in an ornamented
cover, and on the fly leaf of the little pamphlet
was the statement that College Temple claimed
this class of graduates to be the first from any
college in America to read compositions set in
type and printed by themselves, and to appear in
dresses made by their own hands.
The dresses were elaborately trimmed and ex
quisitely made white muslins, reflecting credit
on the instructress ot plain sewing and orna
mental needlework. Airs. Randall.
There was a further statement that these un
common features were but a beginning of a
“ new departure ” in woman's education which
College Temple was about inaugurating.

says:
The love of praise as praise, the simple ape-

be, is the really bad symptom, as it is the bane,
of our modern literature. This is the true mark
of the charlatan, and the natural fruit of that
kind of vanity which deserves all the contempt
that c»n be poured upon it. No stings can be
too severe which will help to kill down the nox-
basket.” He has a rich, powerful tenor which
came forth gloriously in the aria “I love, I
love,” and in the exquisite trio rendered by the
Doctor, Inez and Carlos.

Kellogg, one of the most able teachers, excellent
disciplinarians and noble women that our coun

articles of every day food, she culls information
concerning them from every department of
knowledge—history, natural science, chemistry,

she imparts, so happy her illustrations, and in

will collect these lectures in a volume to serve as
a text hook in this branch of study.
It is a new but excellent idea this of connect

ridiculously ignorant. It will serve to impress
upon them their lessons in style and punctua

after years.. AA'e have now five girl printers in
the office of the Sunny South. The composi

minished efficiency—we doubt whether the sum ;
of happiness would be increased. A cultivated
taste is a blessing when there are opportunities j
for its gratification; but if not, it is rather a mis- ;
fortune.
The man who knows nothing of the delights
of literature or ofthe pleasures of refined socle- J
ty, can labor on day after day, nor repine at his j
lot. But if he has had some taste of these things;,
and circumstances force him to continuous toil,
he will indulge in wishes that he cannot gratify.
In such cases ignorance is bliss.
In the great upsetting of our fortunes by the
war, many men who had learned to relish liter
ature, art and the amenities of refined life, have
been forced to follow the plow. Alany ladies
who were wont oi old to amuse themselves with
the freshest novel and the latest song, are driv
en to the drudgery of the laundry and cook-room.
It were preposterous to assert that the change
has brought happiness. AATien a woman has

In a letter of the published correspondence of
the late Judge Stephens, he expresses the opin
ion that AValter Scott was not a gentleman, bas
ing this opinion on the alleged failure of that
anthor to portray a gentleman in any of his
writings. AVe suspect few readers of Scott—
and everybody ought to read him—would agree
with the Judge in this. AA’e know of no novel
ist from whose writings a larger list ot true
gentlemen could be selected. There is Henry
Morton, whom some good critics have pro
nounced the best of all bis male characters;
and Guy Mannering, who is a faithful t pe of
the tine old English gentleman: and Ivanhoe,
and the Knight of the Leopard, Darsie Latimer
and Damian DeL icy, Quentin Dnrwavd. Reuben
Butler, and many others. Indeed, we may say,
that wherever it has been his aim to create a
gentleman, he has succeeded. But the question
as to whether or not an author be a gentleman, is
best determined by his treatment ot woman;
