Each heart contains its own treasures. Let it be a sealed bookgl D In the ninth year began a campaign bordered by steeper aqciivirigg, One beset with greater difficulties. But instructors were gathered everywhere, each extolling the virtues and grandeur' of his branch, carrying us with him by scholarly enthusiasm, transforming us from docile boys and girls into argumentive ment and women, ready to take up the thread of knowledge, and wind it on the spool of life. V r V ,I A new i era seemed opened to us, and just as the toiling' peasant, looking forward to the goal of his ambition, sows the' seeds he is to reap 5 even so have we sown and reaped our reward. We have plucked a leaf from the tree of learning g but the links themselves are as impregnable as ever. Advantages came to us. We entered a schoolblessed with an noble patronage, honored with a most glorious past and endowed with a most prophetic future. One that has grown steadily from its first inception to the present dayg and as we look about us, impressed by our past opportunities, we see at first glance only, a class worthy of its name, and transcendent beacon lights of modern superiority. Yet, in spite of all these opportunities, although our past has been bright and cheering, still the future remains as hidden, and inscrutable as ever. Our past cannot be a torch to light up- the future. The geometry of the school-room cannot determine the straighest line to success. The languages we have learned. cannot translate the unknown words, the mystic to be, may yet, speak. The rocks of geology may not be as hard as the rocks and stones that may bestrew our path. Through psychology we cannot read the minds of powerful rivals. The chemistry of atoms 'cannot analyze the motives of man. The electric spark may arouse continents, but it cannot arouse the fires of genius- within us. Our teachers, friends and advisors may lay for us the foundation of honorable accumulation, but they cannot throw' about us the tow-line of their latents. A ' Yes, indeed, our past has been inspiring, but our work has but commenced. Let us turn back and, enumerating the labors we have accomplished, see in what way our prospects have been illum- ined,'see their effect on our future progress.

H. C' 1.' ex - BY DAVID B. EPPSTEIN. How dear to our hearts are the scenes of our childhood, When fond recollection presents them to view. Our school days, our schoolmates, our kind-hearted teachers, And every loved spot that our infancy knew. Long indeed and winding have been the stairs that we have climbed 3 each step but another stone of knowledgeg each landing, but a new view of life. From the time we left our first school at our mother's knee, to the completion of this public school of last resort, we have ever clung together, marching side by side, .at learning's call, strangers to care and sorrow, wards to the .guardianship of America's great institution. And now that we have reached this stage of maturity, it is 'behooving that we look back through the lapse of time, and, -unveiling the once shrouded past, live again in by-gone years. It seems but yesterday that our names were nrst enrolled on that great ledger, upon which every youth and maiden in this 'independent land must early gaze, thanks to the gracious wisdom of American laws and American progress. -On that ledger was a course mapped outgfor us by wise an 'noble predecessors. A course straight and unbending, and firm as the earth itself 5 which, if well followed, certainly leads to wis- dom and knowledge. Over the first eight years of our connection with this institu- tion, let us draw a veil. The memories there clustered cannot be told in words. c - d ea' -tm
