The examination of the pupils of
Iho Dublin Academy came off on
last Thursday followed by an exhibi
tion at night. We dropped in about
10 a. m.. and found Col, Ramsay,
the Principal of the school, conduct
ing the examination of a class in Lat
in. His method of procedure made
it clear to all who arc in the least ac
quainted with tlio modern require
ments of this ancient tongno, that
the examination was perfectly fair:
and the manner in which the pupils
sustained the crucial test was highly
creditable to their capacity, and to
their teacher’s fuilhfulncss und efli-
eioncy. Writing Lati n is now every
where, in ull the best schools, regard
ed as the truest test of tho learner’s
knowledge. It is well known by all
men of learning, that, if a boy can
turn English’ sentences selected pro
miscuously into correct Latin, and
properly parse each word, kin uiider-
standing Mb certainly been reached
—ho ban been well laugh t. Such was
tho test, and such wore tho results of
that test on last Thursday. There
could have boon no cramming for
the occasion, wo regretted not be
ing alilo to remain and witness ull
the cxcreisosof tho day, but dropped
in from timo to time, and always
. found that tho classes showed tho
eamo remarkublo ovidenco of thor
ough tmining. But at this wo wore
not surprised, knowing ns wo do tho
cultured aud scholarly gentleman,
who presides over tho Dublin Acad
emy. •
Tho sohomo for tho concert and
exhibition at night-was gotten up
most happily; but tho extrema beat
arid denseness of tho crowd packed
in tho academy, rendered it impossi
ble for one to enjoy and appreciate it
as it deserved. Moreover, several
characters had boon with-dmwn on
account of the sad death of Mr. llob-
inson.
As wo wove unafeToTp get into
tho house, and had to tako chan-
cos with a great many others,
looking on through the windows,
WO saw hut litt-lo of the exhibition.
But what wo did see, considering the
advorse circumstances, did great cred
it' to both teacher and pupils. It
would not bo fair porh|ps to part ic
ularise, ns there * wero doubt lessly
many of the best, ports we did not
see; but wo emiuot refrain from men
tioning the declamation of Master
Tillman Wolfe. It was Murk Anto
ny’s oration at Caesar’s fuuorul—one
of tho mb|t difficult pieces in our
litoraturo to render, oven passably.
The truth is, although we have heard
it perhaps n hundred times, that was
tho first time but, that tho declama
tion disgusted us. It certainly shows
Tillman to bo a boy of no ordinary
talent to rightly deliver what many
regard as the most intricate, subtle
and powerful oration in any language.

Strange what a depressing influ-

love. It chills to ieo tho affections
of the, heart, even in tho nearest tics

A philosopher laughs at this, and
despises tho meanness of tho human
soul—wli i 1st h is feelings acknowledge

pluck the rose that delights us with
its fragrance and beauty, but spurn
