Many a Trppy summer ban passed
over our youthful head:, vs the gentle
Vryeze of spring drives us towards the
signt of another system. ITonie, sweet
hotiTh flows through the open window of
our little cottage, which is as sweet and
invrtihg y,-s the silvery dew drops of hea

and gilds the scenes with anew look of
Admiration. The sun has mounted his

beyond the fogged tops of an alpine
mountain, whose lofty head is bathed in
the chilly winds and wearing the sleety
robe of winter, lies our only hope, that
will cause us to stand as a glittering
gf.tr in the bright castles of fame. How
our hearts long fer -tlm time v hen ve can
■
stand as the monarch oak of the forest,
upon the broad mountain top of science,
and view the bright scenes of God, and
the important applicat on of man. Morn
ing after morning have We rose with a
hcaVy heart and .q pt; and mu !hv' ’ i
strength in ascending the exhorbitant
bill that shuts us out from the glories of
v(Kith, and leaves us within the dark
walls of dispair. To-day lias been a
day of gladness with pis, for we ttave en
“oyedMie blessings of a scholar’s life;
but to-night we are ready to say as Han
ibal said, “Bcyound the alps lies Italy.”
Y\ o liavc not yet crossed the rugged
mountain whose lofty summits rises
heavenward and bathed in the stormy
clouds of snow and winter, but we fancy

brightly tinted by the pencil cf hope.
She draws encouraging prospect for the
soul by connecting the past and piesont
with the future. Seeing the reward of
t
industry afar off* she is persuaded of their
truth and embraces them as her , own.
Slowly but surely she moves gallantly
‘toward the la'Vie' that shines as bright
to us as a silvery .star from the Vault of
J ~l i,W l> ■ '><
heaven, to guide the weary wanderer up
on his way. Our animating spirits cling
to that fond tie of hope, and we can look
forward to noble deeds in a bright be
yond. But the niost precious part of our
lives have passed and are numbered with
days, weeks and months of the long ago.
It seems that they are but moments
which have swift!v passed us, and fa ; m

up of winter eye:;, while these are gold

embrace, and the moon reigns as queen
of night, a steady current will drive ns
onward.
“Beyond tlni alpis lief? Italy, *’ is the
school boy’s motto, as be looks upon the
gray haired veteran, whose name has
honored the throne of fame so long, but
will soon go down with-the centuries
with benedictions sad and sorrowful; and
be will be able to stsLnu as a sunbeam to
the world. What happy thoughts! lAt
dear schoolmates, we have all met to
gether for the last time m life, be our
lives well spent or not. The past five
months will long be remembered by one
who now addresses yoit. The happy
days that we have spent together in the
school-room, and the long remembered
scenes of earthly happiness will cling
around the heait with a strong chord of

dise, that will be a sweeter home am? a 1
brighter Italy* than tlic one that lies
across the dark blue, ocean that borders

our Idtlo state, that has been a tree via
ble for ns from our infancy. I cannot
boast of leaving my home, the dwelling
of my past deligftt, to seek the acquaint
tance of other fnenbV; for the rays of
heaven, so sctoirfcly bright, have gilded
the borders of this dear old home, tba +
it will still linger on momofy’s tablet un
til the low call of death-will move uh to
tlint land where faith will never decay,
and will forever dwell nearest io its “na

sever us to-night will never be uttered
more sorrowfully. No longer wo* w ill

sport ourselves together, no longer re

lityui irtylut to meet. But ah ! I can
still think of the days when we were to
gether in youth, and the morning echoes
will sweetly speak to me of those I leave
and 1 can ponder with delight on the
all-gathering thoughts of the sunny days
gone'by. For the students of this school,
1 have many desires for your great iao
provement, and may you ever prosper in
your course through life. Learn to pre
serve + li‘ Adnutes and the hours will take
care of themselves, and you will reap a
grand reward in the future.
Dear friends, who have so kindly vis
ited us to-night, we are glad to have
your bright smiles to rest upon us, and
heartily thank you for the interest that
you have taken in our closing exercises;
and if wc have disappointed you in any
thing, indeed we feel sorry—sorry that
we did not spe deeper down in necessi

duties that are yet unperformed.
To the teachers of this school, there
arc no words which I could u ,c in thank

Answer to € ffltu£keye. v
Mr. Editor—l would like for some one
to tell me if ungentlcmanly abuse of a
lad’v is a defense of any community ? If
i > C i * • V -- •
so, I think the gentleman who wrote over
the head of the asculus flava in reply to
“StUreye” is all the defendant Wild
wood possesses, she will sink instead of
swim. I, who according to Buckeye’s
own account, only weigh 95 pounds,have
to take up my pen and boldly inform this
masculine braggadocio who calls himself
a man; that lam ready for him. If I
am of such an insignificant weight I dont
have to call on Chattanooga- for help to
dght him, as it is n well known fact that
Buckeye has done so. Ah! Buck,- WrUe
~ . .; , %■ ,* . •* * ' \ < •
your own pieces; it. will be so much more
improving to you. If you don’t mhid
you will never be more than the “little
fish” that you have such a “holy horror”
of being compared to. Ah, Buckeye, be
V-■ * *
a man; don’t make yourself such a spu
rious imitation.
Now if I had seen Buckeye at the fish
ing party l never Would have thought of
alluding to him as a “little fish,” for lit
tie fish always grow to he big ones, and
I don’t think Buckeye ever will.
Bav, Buckeye, how long have you
known the meaning of blue stocking ?
just since the worthy gentleman of Chat
tanooga vviote the “answer to Stareye”
for you ? Would-be blue stocking, in
deed ! Well, 1 would rather try to he
“Fis ills full To Hi!' Rißbl, Fearless Agairtsl Use s'wsss’.”
something and fail, than to ; try to. he
nothing and meet with magnificent suc
cess. Buckeye anddils “sub.” can* af
ford .to call me a would-be blue stocking,

or rat her that.! want.to write for the pub
lic and can't, for they ha re only to “put
pen to paper and something will come of
it”—leastways it will prove to the paper
as Mr.’ Weller’s*effi inbr did to him, i. c.,
“rather fillin'.”
Buckeye sights mo to the Iffth chapter
of Gorinthians, winch is as much as to
say “S.tareye, thou rogardcst not. tiptli,
vaunteth thyself-ahd art puffed up;”
which must he so if one of the lords of
creation can stoop sq.far below Ids (digni
ty as to Veil a little hit of I'o ippuhds of
effiminaey so. Even I know better than
to think his lordship would stoop so low
without great cause. Do you think,Mr.
Editor, that Buckeye would lash a poor
hut self reliant y retch who has had pre
sumption enough to (limbuip to , news
papeidom without his royal aid or per
mission ? No, my dear Mr. Editor, a
nian never stoops Vo aiT can ness. There
never was a criticism yet horn of envy,
malice, disappointed ambition, or who
ever saw the bottled-up hatred of months
concentrated iu one sjn.friiig .paragraph.
No, ikF 1 La "c r. were :halted opinion
of masculinity. In return for Buckeye’s
kindness to me, 1 will sight him to the
second chapter of II Fetor, and would
have him note verse;; 1,7, 8, ff, 10,12,
Iff, and to particularly notice and take
upon himself the 16th verse; and would
have all the members of the Methodist
church who danced at the picnic to care
fully read the 20, 21, and 22 verses of
thy same chapter.
i see that Buckeye has not forgotten
the shape of the dunce cap which he has
doubtless worn so often in days a gone.
lam satisfied that lie lias worn it from
the exactness of his
As I did not Wildwood’s last
pienic, the cap” described
by Buckeye was more appropriately plac
ed upon his own cranium, and with
dunce marked on every feature lie did
the honors of the occasion in the way of
playing fool, far better than Stnreyc
could have owe them.
Now Mr. Editor, I will close by say
ing la* done with this thing ; I will
not conscend to answer any more fee
ble attempts from General Buckeye nor

so this time, but I wanted to show them
that I am not going through the world
like a picked chicken, afrajd of every ego

who may tfike it in his gentlemanly head
to run afoul of me. Itespectfnlly,
Stareye.

that lie says that the sol liers mu,st he
stationed at the polls and the army he'
required to supervise the elections, lie
lias forfeited the regard 1 held for him.
Still, I think it was his weakness that
led him to this last act. He was bull

The ilatHe A ry of ISSO.
Boston Post: The next presidency is
not to he contested on the Ohio idea,
the New England idea or the Southern
idea’ but upon a fundamental national
idea which "dll insist that there shall he
a free ballot, tteat the Recrjffe..shall not
be controled or towed by federal coldwTs
or United States marshals, hut that the
sovereigns, not their servants, shall rule.
They will demand, too, that full and
fair expression shadl he given to the bal
lot after it has been cast without being
counted out by infamous returning
boards or the decrees of eleetorial com
missions. These two things go hand in
hand. Free elections &nd full force to
the popular will, as determined thereby,
will constitute the haDlq.ci’y jiv r xt
campaign. All minor issues will have to
give way.
Tlic Bf:iy s- “Boom.”
St. Louis Republican: Stanley Mat
thews of tMiio. ex-assistant, acting Pres-
Pi ‘ #
ident, expresses the .opinion that if Mr.
Hayes had not declined a re-election in
his letter of acceptance in 1876, lie
would undoubtedly be the, nominee of
the party in 1880, and prove t.he Strong
est candidate that could be put in the
field, “stronger, even than Grant hint
self. ’’ As Mr. Hayes was never elected
lyowe' er, what force attaches to anything
that lie might have said about are-elec
tion? If the Republicans are really , anx
ious to run him. there is npthipg in the
letter of acceptance to prevent it; but the
argument of course, jus a mere pretext for
keeping hint out ot the way.
