COMMENCEMENT SCENES. We will take a privilege vouchsafed to all novelists, and skip over a period of ; time. It was Commeucement day in ! the University at B . Carriage after j carriage rolled to the door of the chap- I el, and deposited its load of youth and beauiv —of fashion and wit. There* were strains of music issuing from the j , galleries—there were laughter, and greet* * . ings, and the fiutering of ribbons, and confusion in every part of the spacious and well filled house. Students, in tbeir | very best attire, with nice little canes in hand, were walking in flocks through the grounds, or crossing to and fro over the rostrum. Soon the exercises of the day began. A husli settled down over the vast assembly, as the venerable Pres ident arose andjaised his hand in Prayer. looking fellows iif shilling blaek^ds.— ‘ The salutatory was euterln upon; enthu siastic listeners cheered, for it was both witty and wise; the Faculty began to lose the anxious expression which had at first mantled their faces, and to look gratified —everything promised to every i body present, a ricii intellectual feast j and a da£ of unclouded enjoyment, i last speakers in the class j came MarchmonL lie had taken the first 1 honor of the institution, and his appear -1 ance was such as became upon the plat j form, that the cheering began before he i i had opened his mouth and uttered a word J : to the expectant faces turned up towards ‘ | him. He did indeed look noble, manly, j ; vigorous—his dark intelligent eye was I I full of thought, and of the fires of genius j i —his rich, luxuriant hair was now par i ted off of his forehead iu the most ap proved style—his dress was uneMception i able from the tie of the cravat to the sole of his foot. He stood a moment, bowing to the audience, and waiting for the ffoise to cease —the cheering however was long and loud. Some of the students, with whom he was a great favorite, took up the matter in the galleries—it was full five minutes before a tone of his voice could be heard. Silence however was • at length attained and Marchmoot was just entering upon his theme, “Human justice,” when he glanced down aud saw seated directly in front of him, a face —the face whose image had been for months growing into his heart. There were the soft blue eyes-—the golden curls—the jew , eled hand —the bud like mouth, and the flushed cheek, so often looked at iu the i picture which he carried, even that day, iu [his bosom. ■ And there too, stood Smith, leaning , almost upon her shoulder- He stood ; with his little velvet cap in his baild, and looked up into Marchmont’s face, with a free and easy air which it was j provoking to wituess. Every now and then, he bent down and murmured some thing in the ear of the beauty before him. He was evidently an old ac- j quaintance of hers—a stranger might have guessed him to be her lover. Surprise, and a feeling which, if March mont had stopped in that exciting mo ment to have amalyzed it, would have been found akin to anger and indigna- < tion, took possession of his bosom, and j made him hesitate in the middle of his opening sentence,* but be put forth a strong effort, and rallied his thoughts.— Human Justice seemed to rise before him, a being j>ersouified. Ilis dark eve flashed and gloved as he pursued liis theme—his voice rung like a bugle—his gestures grew strong and almost awe inspiring because of the earnestness which they expressed—his cheek kindled and glowed with a mingled feeling of indig nation and excitement. Iu the midst of one of bis finest passages, some body at tempted to cheer bun again, but the audience were ioo imid! entranced —too j eaarer to catch the words rollin sr in 1 streams of eloquence from Ids longue, to heed tbo sound. He looked down to ‘Copy right secured. “PRINCIPLES NOT MEN.” see who had designed approbating his sentiments —it was Srv n, the very man at whom his satire wa** aimed, for he looked upon him as a u~ irper at that moment. But as he preceded, he grew calmer. Better leefiugaftooJc possession of his soul—his voice sunk into gentler tones and at last he bowed aud left the stage, with an easy, graceu! air, strange- j ly at variance with the oi e with which 1 lie had at first, entered ipon his sub- j ject. “-Well who wci-M *P V thought it!” exclaimed a voice in Mn camont’s e*ar, as he reached the outer dypr of the lit tle room, where the graduating class, screened themselves from the public j gaze, after their exit form the stage — “ who would ha’ though! you could ha’ writ such a speecjj, as tbs*- ? ’ Marchmout looked down, and saw standing on she steps of the door towards which he had rushed forbC'Lrcath of fre. h ; air, Daddy Logan of Werhlock. He had a long whip in his hand—-his homespun clothes were carefully brushed aud fitted 1 his square figure well—a white, broad , brimmed, quaker-like hat shaded his partially silvered looks, and good humor- ; ed face. | “ I am glad to see ye looking so well,"’ j continued the old man. “ I bad been with a load of shoes to market, and hear ing that it was Commencement here, I . thought I would take it on my way home. I got into the jneeting-house, just as the first fellow stepped out to speak, but in my opinioft%ou have beat | the best of theA. But man, what ailed i ye when ye first began ? Your lips quiv ered like a leaf, and something like a <fcrvil seemed born in ea b eye. The ex- j pression hasn’t entirely GR your face yet. Do you college fellows always work your selves up to #kh a pitch on Commonce | ment days ?” * i “Oh! never mind the oration,” said. Marchmonf anxious to change the sub ject, “ but tell me how you left Mrs. Lo gan and the children.” “Well, Alie is reasonable well I thank ye, and the children are as fat as bucks.! That medicine which you administered j cured little Dora, and ugly Sol and Alie, • they talk about ye, avid thank ye, both in their hearts and with their lips con- j linually. The good wife jb assure yon, j ■ aOTff jx...St-r in u ILL [she treated you at first. I have read to her out of the book, that wholsome ad vice which we should all practice .* ‘Be not forgetful to entertain strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels un awares T Ye will never get turned away from Wernlock again.” Marchmont smiled. “ f That was a matter of little moment,” he said ; “ but, the inhabitants of the white house, as I you call that brown looking structure sit- * uated among the hills!—how are they I” j “ Oh! the gentle folks have all gone.! Sol went by there in a few days after ! I you left, and called at the gate for the} I purpose of selling some chickens—there ; j was not a stray dog upon the premises ] j —tLey left this year earlier than usual; j ! although they never stay long.’’ Justi at this moment, Marchmont felt a hand j laid heavily upon his shoulder. He • looked up, and saw Smith standing be- j side him. “ I come to congratulate you on your success,” be said “ I never heard you speak so well before in your life—the Fac i ulty aud Trustees—the alumni and vis itors, are alike pleased. “ And she,” —be gasped before lie had taken time for thought. “ How did she like it?” he would have said but he did ! uot ask the question. The words some how died away in his throat. But Smith caught the idea. “ How did Gertrude like it —Gertrude Smith, my sister —the lady I was standing behind ? Is she the one whose opinion yon would like to know ? Well, she admires it, as a matter of course. How can she help it when every body is eloquent in your praise.” “ Your sister! the lady you were standing beliiud, your sister ? You jest now, Smith.” “I assure you I do not. I never was in more sober earnest in icy life.” “ And why have you never mentioned this l>efore,” asked the gniduate, incred ulously. “Spoken of it! why I have spoken of my sister, a hundred times to say the 1 least, in your hearing, man.” ) “I know it,” said Marchmont, “but you never told me who she was.” “ I told you that I had a sister Ger turde—that she had blue eyes, pretty curls, rosy cheeks, and a dimpled chin —in short that she was a perfect houri, j but you never before seemed interested in the fact, llow happens it that you now feel interested. By jove! I must go back and inform Ger, of the con quest she has made. Woman are all vain. My sister is uot wiser or better than her sex.” “Stop,” said Marchmont, detaining him, “ You know why I now feel interes ted in her. You know before she came here to-day of the interest which I have long felt in her. Why <Hd you not ex plain who she was, when I picked up her picture in the public avenues” Smith lauged. “ Because I threw the picture down there in order that .you might nick it up, ruiu Wofldef over it,— yyhen vou first came home from the mountains, and enterlamad M* witli an account of the beautiful vision which [ted sprung up so unexpectedly beside vour pathway, 1 understood instantly j that it was Gertrude and cousin Julia ; White, whom you liad stumbled upon. ’ A letter from the former, mentioning the j same circumstance, confirmed my suspi-1 cions. I concluded to drop Ger’s por- j trait in the public walk, where I knew you j would pick it up, and then to accident- j ; ally overtake you, when your wonder and j 1 amazement at the god-send were great- ; est. Your picture is safe in Ger’s pos-: | session. 1 purloined it- from your table, \ and sent it to her. I acted, you see, on ; the adage that * exchange is no robbery.’ j Having been in a manner introduced to ; ! one another, I shall leave you to carry ; on the flirtation, in propria jyersona .” “But you will give us an introduction ; in propria persona I hoj>e, too,” said ( j Marchmout laughing. “ I cannot pre- . ; sume to address a word to her on the J strength (if the one already received.” “ Well, come to my boarding-house i at seven o'clock this evening; I will iu- j troduce you face to face although the j ceremony will be a needless one,” said ! : Smith. “ I must go now. I left her al- j most unattended in a crowd of strang ! ers. Bomerabet—be on hand at seven j —don't forget the appointment.” Marchmont turned to see if Daddy j ; Logan bad been an auditor of what, to : him, would have seemed a strange dia- j loge—but the mountaineer had disap- j peared. No one apparently had paid j the slightest heed to a conversation ; which seemed to him to be full of vital ( importance. Just at that moment he ■ | was summoned in to receive bis diplo !in a, and listen to the address of the President. CHAPTER V. PLANS 10R THE FUTURE. This was the closing up of college-life He realized it as he stood there before the venerable old man, who for the fifth jor a score of years, had watched over ; him with something akin to paternal so j lieitude. He felt it, as he again issued j into the open air, and walked under the j | umbrageous oaks, which had so long j ■ spread their protecting arms over his i paths—screening him from the fierce sunshine—the gentle summer rain, and j the rude Tiorthern blast. Change is j written upon every leaf in the book of Daetiwv : our mortal lives are filled full of it: Nature—animate and ina.-rirawte, by which we are surrounded, bows to the same great inexorable law: we never reach, we never see in the future, a stand point for ourselves or others. Marchmont could not well help feeling a little mtl ! ar.eholy, when Crayton and Howard ran ■ their arms through his, at the door of the 1 chapel, out of which the gay noisy crowd j of students and visitors was issuing, and | led him off” on a last-stroll, through | haunts endeared to thein by a thousand } pleasant recollections. They were now jto part. Before them rose the steep, i dark cliffs of Fame and Fortune. For [ four long years they had been furnishing j themselves with instruments of Knowl ! edge, by meansof which eaeh purposed to j hew out a path- way to the summit, and | dare the ascent with firm aud adveutur | ous foot. They had now reached the base \ —they must part company —each was | to hew and toil separate from his fellows. During the college life which had just ended, they had sometimes grown im patient of restraint—tired Qt” the prepar ations they were making, and anxious to reach, by a few hasty strides, the stand point which they had at last gained.— But in the long golden afternoon which succeeded the Commencement exercis es, they somehow felt differently. The ascent looked hazardous —the success to some of them, doubtful. - They would fain have lingered a little while in close fellowship, yeilding to ouo another the meed of sympathy, when sympathy was needed —of aid when toil beiuime op pressive. They sat down on a little green knoll apart fioni the crowd, in a remote corner of the campus, aud weut slowly, with a retrospective glance over their college days. It seemed in truth but yesterday, when they had takeu each other by the hand for the first time —when they became members of the Freshman clasi. But time passes rapid ly. They sat there graduates—ready to enter the arena, and struggle for those alluring prizes, which urge the strong man on. “The question that now arises,” said Crayton, “is how shall we succeed in life ? That is the perplexing problem submitted to us to solve. We are about to enter upou anew stage and play our parts in the drama of life. For one, lam determined to know, and understand men. For a few yeafrs, I shall make Hu man Nature my study, I mean :o thread every avenue leading to the heart, until it becomes familiar ground to mo. ‘The proper study of mankind is man.’ Then, I shall make my way in the world. I shall —I am determined to suc ceed. As liichelieu says iu the play, % ‘ Fad! fail! In the lexicon of vouth, which Fate reserves For a brijrht manhood, there is no such word As -fail P I will live honored and die famous.” As the student uttered these senti ments, his cheek flushed, and his eye kindled with excitcinont, but Howard looked down gravely, and crushed an humble tuff of daisies Uuder his foot “ I do not know,” said he at length, “ whether this tiling called Fame, abbut which college students prate aui] drcaui TWO DOLLARS A-YEAR, IN ADVANCE. so much, is, after all, such an excellent, j • genuine, pleasure-yielding goddess as we J | imagine her to be, I am half inclined j I from observation to think that the apples I with which she tempts us onward, may, i I Sodom like turn to ashes when they j i touch the lips. At best it is more a . I shadow than a substance. It is fleet-, | ing—it will not last long. I have por- j I ed over the pages of Ancient History, J and have seen the names of some record- j |ed there —the simple unadorned names ■of those, who in their day and genera tion, flourished and ruled like gods. An j bumble niche in a musty page is all that now remains of them ; in a little j while even that may fade out. Those j | who are victims of many feverish aspira tions, bad better pause over them, and j | ask ‘ What is fame !’ ” “ But do you intend,” interrupted Cray- j l ton hastily, “ now that you have got the j implements to work with, to give up the i trade ? Do you mean to sit down and j ‘demurely fold your hands, taking no in -1 terest in all of those exciting topics which j stir the life-blood in the hearts of men, ! and make them pant like Asiatic lions in |an affray \ For one, I am determined • to make my mark —to make it as high : up, and to engrave it as deeply as I can, | , even though it is certain, that a few dash- : |es of oblivion’s sea wiil wash the lines ; away. Tiiere will be pleasure in the ! task of cutting it. But if you do not j propose to yourself fame iu the future, 1 pray ! for what wiil you struggle f You | have wealth enough already. You must have some object for which to live.” “ I hope,” said Howard, “ to secure in a few years a wife— a’ home and many friends. I look to domestic life for enjoy ment.” . Crayton sneered. “ That sphere is un worthy of your attainments,” he said. ( “ I do not think so,” answered the oth er mildly. “ I found the other day, while looking over some old papers which have long been stowed away in j an old trunk, some admirable lines on this j j subject, which I have set to music, and j ; which, with your leave, I w ill sing to j i you, by way of a parting song.

I frankly and honestly aver, that it w ill be to advance my interests in life, because my fortune requires the step to be taken ; it will be wholly and entirely a matter of expediency with me 1 assure you.” “ Heartless 1” muttered Howard. “Not exactly without one, my good sir, but the heart is not made of very in : flamable materials which beats hre, I j admit.

It is striving against the laws of nature to go against democracy in this coun try, and every party that tries it, no matter ou what issue, will sooner or later have to succumb. True Democracy like the everlas ting hills of New England, will stand the shock of every storm ajiJ every whirlwind, and though covered long and late with tho frosts and snows of a know nothing winter, 1 will come out fresh and green in the spring, , anl be the favorite resort of thousands who iVill ilee to it as cattle to rich to gain nourishment and strength for another ; Presidential campaign.

It seems that the enemies of the democrat ic party are nothing, if not fanatical. They are now in the field with two fanaticisms— one for the North, the other fur the South. ! Tho northern fanaticism is unadulterated 1 abolitionism ; and this in a mere violent j and proscriptive sense that ever. The south ern fanaticism is religions intolerance, or hostility to a particular religious sect, ineltt ding opposition to emigration and naturali zation laws. They are both working to the ; same end by different roads—both resolved j to defeat the democratic party.— H'ashing ton Union yt
