'* The Sunny 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. Those who know Professor Kellogg’s origina lity of mind, energy and devotion to the pur pose he has made his life work—the elevation of nurtured, the harvest reaped, smiling homes will not dot the land, nor towering cities rise along the main. People may do without books, but they could not do without bread. Aluch the greater portion of human effort must be directed to supplying the physical wants of mankind; nor do we suppose that all the labor-saving contrivances that shall be in- depicts to me some fertile island in a delicious climate, where the bread-fruit hangs from the tree, where the soft winds are themselves warmth and clothing—depicts to me an earthly paradise; and the next moment he shows me the human tenant of it—a very child, a simple savage, very little wiser than the fowls of the air or the fishes of the sea.

Aluch the larger portion of our race then are debarred from any high de gree of mental culture. Their time and atten tion are constantly demanded by their occupa tions. The few hours of relaxation which they allow themselves cannot be given to study.

Neither Fish nor Flesh.—Cousins always re mind us of the turtle—we do not mean the dove, but the tortoise. AVe chanced once to be at a | place of entertainment where a friend who had now-a-days, and which really acts as a check upon aspiring genius, and helps to swell the deluge of mediocre productions in the various departments of art, especially literature. He says: The love of praise as praise, the simple ape- tite for incense, as thick and stupefying as may 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.

These however are—and must be—rare exceptions. As a general rule, they who labor much with their hands cannot much with their heads.

Kellogg, one of the most able teachers, excellent disciplinarians and noble women that our coun try possesses. In her lectures upon the various articles of every day food, she culls information concerning them from every department of knowledge—history, natural science, chemistry, botany, etc.—and so various is the information she imparts, so happy her illustrations, and in genious her method, that it is to be hoped she 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 ing a printing apparatus with the College labora tory, and of giving girls some idea of this parent of arts, of whose modus operandi so many are ridiculously ignorant. It will serve to impress upon them their lessons in style and punctua tion. Besides, it may return a money value in after years.. AA'e have now five girl printers in the office of the Sunny South. The composi tion of this issue is for the most part done by them, and their cheerful faces and bright alacri ty prove that the work of type-setting is by no means so tiresome and wearing to brain and body as stitching on the everlasting machine. But for all its greater size, its rows of cases, the clatter of its job presses and the steady clash and throb of its great steam press, our hot and dingy printing rooms are not to be compared hammer, the plow and the scythe with undi- J 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 known no higher aspirations, she can starch and brew and bake, and feel that in these tasks she is fulfilling her mission But if she has, like Higher Culture for Women-—Never was the need that women should oe thoroughly instruct ed so urgent as it is now. The intellectual ad vance of man, which has been so rapid since the last century, calls for a corresponding advance in woman, who is destined to be his companion. Sciences are becoming so numerous and complex, the accumulation of facts is so enormous, that the amount of training which must be gone through simply in order to take an interest in and converse upon ilm great questions of the day. i.~ very considerable. Those persons who imagine that women can be subjected to such training with real profit, without the prospect or the possibility of subsequently using these acquirments otherwise than in their narrow households, have certainly no adequate concep tion how much is due to the incentive of ambi tion, even in the case of men.

Not a word have we received from him since his de parture, but from a paragraph in yesterday’s Sumter BepubUmn we infer that he is not only alive and well, but has “covered himself with glory,” by delivering a stirring Address, exactly 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; and tried by this test, none has a surer claim to this titie than the creator of Jeanie Deans, Edith pertinent to the times, and calculated to arousc- the hopes and spur the energies of those despon- Plantaganet, Amy Robsart, and Ellen Douglas, dent concerning the future of onr country—a : Neither Buhver, Dickens, Thackeray, nor Geor proceeding which reconciles us to the fact of his having shaken the dust of Atlanta from his teet and the cares of office from his mind, for the space of six days.
