Friends, young and old, both men and maids Where'er ye be in all the land, We greet you here on the earliest page, Where ghosts of the Past and Present stand And we give you this book that, perchance, the wa OF our varied life ye may read and know Ere the things that are shall pass to be With the things that were in the long ago. For we live in the light of our Golden Day And we feel the charm of its potent spell- The old, Bohemian, careless life, The life that we know and love so well. So we drink your health in the old time way With a click of the glass that holds the wine. And we pray you pause for a little space To read of a life that is half divine. J- --,.

EW men in any walk of life have ever so deeply impressed an entire com- munity with the power of a noble personality as the lamented servant of God whose virtues and labors we commemorate to-day. Certainly no minister of the gospel in all the history of this ancient commonwealth was ever accorded a position so eminent by the public at large. This popular estimate was deliberate and exact. The people knew him. For more than fifty years, through storm and sunshine, in peace and war, they had studied his character and watched his work, and they have rendered their verdict, that Moses D. Hoge was a man, a strong, wise, high-minded, great-hearted, heroic mang that through all these years of stress and toil and publicity he wore the white Flower of a blameless life, and that he preached the gospel of the grace of God with a dignity and authority and tenderness, with a beauty and pathos and power which have rarely if ever been surpassed in the annals of the American pulpit. Long before the close of his consecrated career he had taken his place in public interest even by the side of those stately memorials in this historic city 18 which men have come from the ends of the earth to see-the bronze and marble reminders of the men who have forever associated the name of Yirginia with eloquence and virtue and valor. No vis- itor who had come from a distant state or a land beyond the seas to look upon these memorials of the great Yirginians of former days felt that his visit to Richmond was complete till he had seen and heard the man who, though an hum- ble minister of the Cross, was by com- mon consent the most eminent living citizen of a commonwealth which has always been peculiarly rich in gifted sons. lt was his privilege to preach to a larger number of men whose com- manding influence in public life. in the learned professions, or in the business world, had conferred prosperity and honor upon the State than any other spiritual teacher of the time. He was more frequently the spokesman of the people on great public occasions than any other man whom Richmond has delighted to honor. He was more fre- quently the subject of conversation in the social circle than any other member of this cosmopolitan community. In every community where he once ap- peared his name was thenceforth a at present to speak of these things. I allude to them only in order to empha- size the fact that the explanation of this preeminence in public esteem lay largely in the character of his work in the pulpit. ' That was his throne: there he was king. In attempting to comply with the request of the session of his church to say something to-day in regard to this out- U household word. lt is not my province I d standing feature of Dr. Hoge's work, a feeling of peculiar sadness comes over my heart. It will be many a long day before any man who knew him can stand in this pulpit without a sense of wistful loneliness at thought of that venerated figure, with its resolute attitudes and ringing tones, which for fifty-four fruitful years I9 stood in this place as Gods ambassador, laying the multitude under the enchant- ment of his eloquence, diffusing through this sanctuary the aroma of his piety, and lifting sad and weary hearts to heaven on the wings of his wonderful prayers. As some one has said of the death of another illustrious preacher, we feel like children who had long sheltered under a mighty oak, and now the old oak has gone down. and we are out in the open sun. We hardly knew, till he fell, how much we had sheltered under him: his presence was a protectiong his voice was a power, his long-established leadership was a rallying center for the disheartened soldiers of the cross. XYe do not murmur at the dispensation which has taken him from us, But oh for the touch of a yanish'd hand, And the sound of a voice that is still. There were certain physical features of his preaching which are perfectly familiar to all who have heard him even once, and which will be remembered by them forever, but which can not be made known by description to those who have not. VVhen he rose in the pulpit, tall straight, slender, sinewy, commanding, with something vital and electric in his very movements, yet singularly deliberate, and, lifting his chin from his collar with a peculiar movement, surveyed the people before him and on either side, with his grave, intellectual face and almost melancholy eyes, no one needed to be told that there stood a master of assem- blies. The attention was riveted by his appearance and manner before he uttered a word. As soon as he began to speak, the clear, rich, and resonant tones, reaching without effort the limits of the largest assembly, revealed to every hearer another element of his power to move and mold the hearts of men. To few of the world's masters of discourse has it been given to demonstrate as he did the music and spell of the human voice. It was a voice in a million, Flexible, magnetic, thrilling. clear as a clarion, by turns tranquil and soothing or strenuous and stirring, at the speaker's will, now mellow as a cathedral bell heard in the twilight, now ringing like a trumpet or rolling like melodious thunder through the building, with an occasional impassioned crash like artillery, accompanied by a resounding stamp of his foot on the floor, but never unpleasant, or uncontrolled or overstrainedg no one ever heard him scream or tear his thro-at. Some of his cadences in the utterance of particular words or sentiments lingered on the ear and haunted the memory for years like a strain of exquisite music. As you listened to his voice in prayer there ran through its pathetic fall a vibration as though the minister's heart were singing like an aeolian harp as the breath of the Spirit of God blew through its stringsf, It was a voice that adapted itself with equal felicity to all occasions. When he preached to the whole of General D. H. Hill's division in the open air, it rang like a bugle to the outermost verge of his vast con- gregation. VVhen he stood on the slope of Mt. Ebal in Palestine and recited 20 the twenty-third psalm it was heard distinctly by the English clergymen on thc other side of the valley, three-quarters of a mile away. XYhen the body of an eminent statesman and ruling elder in his Cl1lll'Cl1 was borne into this building and laid before the pulpit, and the preacher rose and said. Mark the perfect man and behold the upright. for the e11d of that man is peace. the sympathetic intonations fell like healing balm on wounded hearts. XYhen he stood in the United States Senate Chamber at XYashington beside the mortal remains of the great Carolinian and said to the assembled representatives of the greatness of this nation and of the world, There is nothing great but God. the voice and the words alike impressed the insignificance of all human concern as compared with religion. lYhen he stood in the chancel of St. Paul's and stretched his hand over the casket containing the pallid form of the daughter of the Con- federacy and said. Blessed are the pure in heart. for they shall see God. it had the authority and tenderness of a prophet's benediction. Of the intellectual qualities of his preaching the First that impressed the hearer was the exquisite phrasing. He was a marvelous magician with words. He was the prince of pulpit rhetoricians. He had made himself a master of the art of verbal expression. because. to use his own words, he knew that style was the crystallization of thought, and he believed that royal thoughts ought to wear royal robes. The splendid powers with which he was endowed by nature had been at once enriched and chastened by the strenuous study of the world's best books. Every cultivated person recognized the flavor of ripe scholarship in his diction, and even those devoid of culture felt its charm without being able to denne it. The mellow splendor of his rhetoric captivated all classes of hearers. This rare beauty of his language, this exquisite drapery of his thoughts, some- times tempted superficial hearers to regard him as merely a skillful phrase-maker. Nothing could be farther from the truth. He was a superb rhetorician because he was a true scholar and a profound theologian. His rhetoric drew deep. The ocean greyhound which seems to skim the billows does in fact plough deep beneath their surface. and hence the safety of her cargo of precious wares and human lives. This masterful preacher was easy and swift-he distanced all his brethren-but he was also safe, and his ministry had the momentum which only tuciglzt can give. All his life long he was a student-a student of books, a student of men. a student of the deep things of God. XVhen men beheld the external splendor of the Temple at Jerusalem. with its walls and roofs of white marble. surmounted with plates and spikes of glittering gold, they sometimes forgot the immense substructions built deep into the ground and resting upon the everlasting rock. But without that cyclopean masonry hidden from view. those snowy walls of marble and those sky-piercing pinnacles of gold could not have been. Dr. Hoge's surpassing beauty of statement was bottomed on eternal truth. He was therefore not only an orator but a teacher. His sermons were not only brilliant in form but rich in truth. So that not only in point of finish but 21 also in point of force he ranks with the masters of the modern pulpit. It is true that many of his later discourses were somewhat discursive in treatment, neces- sarily so because of the innumerable demands upon his time, but he never failed to bring beaten oil to the sanctuary when it was possible, and he never for a moment relinquished or lowered his conception of the teaching function of the ministry. His people were not only interested and entertained, they were also instructed and nourished with truth. The lecture which he delivered at the University of Yirginia forty-nine years ago on The Success of Christianity, An Evidence of its Divine Origin. and known to some of you from its publication in the portly volume entitled Evidences of Christianity, is a striking specimen of the kind of work he was capable of when he was at his best. I venture the asser- tion, though it seems a sweeping one. that in the whole realm of apologetic literature, there is not a more polished or more powerful vindication of the truth of the Christian religion. I have often wished that it might be published sepa- rately and thus given a wider circulation. His substantial attainments, then. were no less remarkable than his graces of speech. But here we have sighted a subject too large for the limits of this address. A small island, to use Dr. Breeds figure, can be explored in a few hours, but not a wide continent. The one may be characterized in a word, but not the other. This island is a bank of sand, that one a smiling pasture, a third a mass of cliffs, a fourth a mountain peak. Hut the continent is a vast com- bination of all of these features indefinitely multiplied. So the gifts of some men are insular and may be summed up in a few words, but the gifts of the man in whose memory we are assembled to-day were continental. Every one that has heard him even once saw that there were here peaceful valleys where the grass grew green and the sweet liowers bloomed and streams ran rippling. But those who sailed farther alongshore found that there were also mighty cliffs where his conviction defied the waves of passing opinion. And when they pushed their explorations into the interior, they came upon great uplands of philosophy, where the granite of a strong theology protruded and where the snows of doctrine lay deep. But the thoughtful explorer knew well that the granite was essential to the solidity of those towering heights and that without those snows upon the peaks there would have been no streams in the valleys, no broad reaches of meadow, no blooming tiowers. He was indeed a superb rhetorician, with a marvelous wealth of diction, a phenomenal power of description, and a rare felicity of illustrationg but rhetoric in the pulpit has no abiding charm apart from truth. Strong men and thoughtful women do not sit for fifty-four years in ever increasing numbers under a ministry which has not in it the strength of divine truth, deeply studied, sincerely believed, and earnestly proclaimed. We have now seen something of what he was in his preaching as a man, and something of what he was as a scholar, but after all the hiding of his power lay in what he was as a saint. Nature had done much for him, cultivation had done 22 much, but Grace had done most of all. He preached from a true and profound experience of the mercy and power of God. He knew the deadly evil of sin. He knew the saving grace of Christ. He knew the brooding sorrows of the human heart, He knew the comfort of communion with God. He knew that the Gospel was God's supreme answer to man's supreme need. And the crowning glory of this pulpit is that, from the first day of its occupancy to the last. it rang true to that evangel: Behold the lamb of God that taketh away the sin of the world. There was never a day in all these fifty-four years when men could not have pointed to him as the original of Cowper's immortal portrait: .4 There stands the messenger of truth: there stands The legate of the skies! His theme divine, His office sacred, his credentials clear. By him the violated law speaks out, Its thunders: and by him, in strains as sweet As angels used. the Gospel whispers peace. He stablishes the strong. restores the weak, Reelaims the wanderer, binds the broken heart, And, arm'd himself in panoply complete Of heavenly temper, furnishes with arms Bright as his own. and trains, by every rule Of holy discipline, to glorious war, The sacramental host- of God's elect! 23 :fr . 1 - i if 1 fi' Q if 3 'Ii I XX X .

IXCIQ the death of Dr. Hoge thcre was left perhaps no citizen of Virginia whose death could have produced a more profound impression upon thc people than that of ex-Governor Philip XYatkins McKinney. That he was deeply beloved and highly honored throughout the length and breadth of the Commonwealth and beyond its confines is attested by the great number of editorials and contributions to the public press, deploring his loss, and setting forth his life and character as a model for imitation. To say that he was born May Ist, 1832, and died March lst, 1890, is all that he would wish to be said about him. such was his aversion to praise, and so retiring was he in the sweetness of his nature that he shrank from any demonstrations of display made in his honor. llut there is a duty the living owe to the generations to come. As the subject of this sketch was inspired by the noble examples of great men who had gone before him, so the children of the present age and of future ages should be taught to emulate the example of one, who, though dead, speaketh through his life-both public and private-of devotion to duty, of the love of right, of temperance, of morality, of love for his fellow man, of genuine true politeness, the beauty of his domestic life and the consecration of his heart to his God. It is not often that a child born in a community grows up to eminence in the neighborhood in which he has been reared. and long after he attains the age of 24 manhood the prophet is considered without honor in his own country. These difficulties K' Phil. as everybody called him, had to contend with and successfully overcame. Educated at an old-field school at New Store, his home and native place in Buckingham County. Virginia, by good instructors he early was prepared for college and it was at Hampden-Sidney that the writer had the privilege and the honor of first knowing his classmate Phil XY. McKinney.-a difhdent blushing youth of seventeen, gentle in manner, courteous to all, Huent and attractive in conversation, a good speaker and such were his oratorical gifts that he easily carried off the prize as best speaker in our graduating class of ISSI. Wihile at college, I had the best of opportunities to know Phil McKinney. XYe often N prepared our recitations together, took long walks in the groves and around the campus grounds, and after we left college he induced me to take a school at New Store and I lived in the same room with him for years and I can say neither at college nor during all these fifty years that have passed in which we have been thrown frequently together i I have never known him to take even a drink of ardent spirits or utter an oath, or bet at a game of chance, and his lan- guage has been always chaste and refined. Cf how many public men of I these days can this truthfully be said? As a member of the legislature from Buckingham County he distinguished himself as a man of ability. and as a member of the legal profession, even in his early career, his reputation became established as a champion in criminal prosecution. and I well remember how the'older members of the bar took pride in the rising star of Buckingham and also on one occasion how United States Congressman. the Hon. E. XY. I-lubard. against whom he was pitted in a political discussion, complimented the noble effort of one so young and so promising. It was his scathing denunciations of wrong that sometimes fired him to flights of oratory and invective that would do credit to men of national reputation and while he was Commonwealth's Attorney for Prince Edward County in those dreadful times of reconstruction, in his mas- terly efforts in this direction, put the people of the county under lasting obliga- tions to him for driving out the carpet-baggers that controlled all the local offices. PHILIP W. MCKINNEY 25 and rendered it possible for us to live under the benign influences which we now enjoy. As Governor of the State, he proved himself equal to the exigencies of the times when difficult problems had to be solved, and how satisfactorily he settled the State debt and also how the oyster laws were made effective in adding revenue to the coffers of the treasury, and many other measures of benefit to the Common- wealth are well known and will go down in history reflecting luster upon the good management of him who sat at the helm of state. As a soldier, he entered the army early in the war. and fought gallantly at the head of the company of which he was captain. and when severely wounded he asked to be transferred to post duty at Danville, Virginia, where he performed valuable services till the end of the war. The great secret of ex-Governor McKinney's success in life depended upon a combination of natural endowments that were well balanced. Nature was pro- fuse in her gifts-she gave him a stately, commanding figure. a countenance beaming with intelligence and love, an eye sparkling and confiding, the index of his soul, a soft gentle voice, musical in its tones, and a memory stored with anec- dote. all of which made him a charming conversationalist. He was a natural orator and by practice in his early years of college and political life learned to modulate his voice so as to sway at will the multitudes that flocked to hear him speak. But the gift that crowned his life with imperishable luster was the gift of the Holy Ghost. W'hile Governor of Virginia. encumbered by the arduous duties of his office, he found time to render service to his God. He loved to sit at the feet of Dr. Hoge and regularly, while governor. attended his church. Private letters from Governor Mcliinney while in Richmond to the author of this sketch breathe the spirit of a true Christian. He was a member of the Presbyterian Church in Farmville. The late home of ex-Governor Mcliinney contains the forms of two, as its inmates, that were the idols of his heart-his desolate wife, lonely and sad, and his daughter, little Frankie, deprived so early of her father's love and guidance. May a merciful Providence send a ray of light to these sorrowing hearts. 26 1Robert TL. Etabneig. BY THOMAS C. JOHNSON, or UNION SEBIINARY, vmorum. QBERT LEXYIS D.-XBNEY was born in Louisa County, Virginia, on the fifth of March. 1820, of good old Hanover lineage. In june. 1836, he entered the Sophomore Class, half advanced, of Hampden-Sidney Col- lege. He completed the remaining part of the Sophomore, and tl1e junior course, and left the College in 1857. He then taught a country school for two years. In December, ISSQ, he entered the University of Yirginia, from which he retired in July of 1842 with the degree of master of arts. He again taught a select private school for more than two years. In October, 1844, he entered Union Seminary in Virginia, took the full three years' course in two years and was licensed to preach in May. 1846. He spent one year as a missionary in his native county, at the end of which time he was called to be the pastor of Tinkling Spring Church in Augusta County. Here he performed for a considerable time the functions of the pastorate to a large church and those of the head teacher of a classical school. After a pastorate of over six years he was elected to the chair of ecclesiastical history and polity in his alma mater, Union Theological Seminary, which he filled until 1870. Meanwhile, in 1869, he had been appointed adjunct professor of theology, and he was made full professor in this department in 1870. He con- tinued to dignify this important chair until 1883, when owing to bronchial troubles he was warned by his physicians to seek a milder climate. Accordingly he accepted an invitation to the chair of mental and moral philosophy in the Univer- sity of Texas, at Austin, the capital of that State. This position he continued to fill with unfiagging ability, notwithstanding the increasing infirmities of age and the total loss of his eyesight. till 1894. Since he retired from that position he has given special courses of lectures at different institutions and has been active with his pen. During his long term of service in Union Seminary he was for sixteen years co-pastor of the College church, with the Rev. Dr. B. M. Smith. During the 27 same period he served Hampden-Sidney College in a professorial capacity on occasions of need in that institution. In 1861, whenever his duties permitted his absence from the seminary. he was chaplain in the Confederate army with the Vir- ginia troops. In 186.2 he was chief of staff of tl1e Second Corps under General Thomas tl. Jackson. After the close of the war, during the period of utter poverty consequent on the great struggle, he rendered the people of his own section great services in taking effective measures for supplying bread. During his years at the L'niversity of Texas he taught with great ability a course on political economy every year. and practically founded and maintained for all those years the Austin Theological School. Throughout his whole ministerial life he gave valuable W service to the church in her courts and on important committees. The last piece of literary work he did was the preparation of a brief sketch of the life of his teacher, colleague and friend. Dr. Sampson. He did this work on Monday. January 3rd, 1898. In the evening of that day he was seized with an acute illness and died. after four hours, at II P. M. So far. a brief and most imperfect sketch of Dr. Dabney's life. To give an adequate account of his life it would be necessary to enter into a discussion of the general current of theological thought during the last forty years and portray him in relation to these currents. lt would also be necessary to give an exposition of many contemporary philo- sophical systems and show how he stood toward those systems. It would be no less needful to refer to many material, political and sociological changes which have occurred in our country during the ' last fifty years. for Dr. Dabney, while ROBERT L. DABNEY. a minister of the gospel, was also a citi- zen of his commonwealth. and a great Christian statesman. He took a burning interest in all that vitally concerned the welfare of his country. He held profound views on political economy and statecraft, and set them forth with tremendous vigor. The lives even of most gTeat preachers pass in such quiet that the historian Finds little to dwell upon. XYhat he says of one day's labor and achievements may 28 be said of almost every other day. Such was not the life of Dr. Dabney. His life touched so many points in the common history of church and state and touched them in a way so unusual that it is impossible to give an adequate sketch in a few pages. Hence we propose a much more possible task in the remaining portion ul this paper, viz.: to name and illustrate briefly some of his more important mental and moral characteristics. I. fllvnfal Chul'i1cfv1'1'st1'cs. He had acute and accurate and untiring powers of perception, a memory which held the gist of all he had perceived like a vise: a superb constructive imagination, and an active, subtle, profound, powerful and sagacious intellect. His powers of observation, coupled with his interest in topographical studies, gave him a more minute and correct knowledge of a larger portion of the earth's surface than any other man with whom it has ever been our privilege to converse. His accuracy and strength of memory for the gist of an event or a place and even for the more important details was a power that impressed itself on all about him. His natural gift was such that by a little cultivation he could have displayed a most luxurious and riotous fancy. He did not care, however, to quicken his powers of fanciful description, usually dignified with the name of imagination. But the power of the constructive imagination, the power which the inventor and the discoverer must possess, the power without which no man can be a real poet or a great literary artist, or even a framer of a great philosophical or theological system, that power he valued, and he was richly endowed with it. Evidences of it are seen to a greater or less extent in every work he ever wrote: and they abounded in his oral teaching. The activity, profundity. subtlety and sagacity of his intellect is proven, not only by his voluminous writings, but by his whole history. Everybody has recognized it: even the envious and detractors in their very envy and detractions. 2. Moral Trails. His endowments in the way of active and practical powers were of a noble order, and as we knew him they had been sanctified to an unusu- ally high degree by divine grace. He loved passionately the good and hated passionately the evil. His affec- rional nature was a great fireg it drove him at times almost furiously against what seemed wrong, and in support of what seemed right. His logic, and all his mental workings, like the Apostle Pauls were ofte11 aflame with feeling No man can understand the products of his mind who does not keep this fact before him. VVhile he had a general love for mankind, and a much warmer love for all his Christian brethren, he gave a peculiar love to a few friends. XVhen he admired a brother and trusted him as thoroughly honest, open and sincere, intimate association was alone needed to call forth from him a wealth of affection which no other could give save one equally great. But the ruling passion of his life was his love to God. 29 Men who sat under his teaching before he had reached his prime have given expression in our presence, to their conviction that Dr. Dabney was even then the most godly man whom they had ever met. His students in his old age at Austin, were wont to speak of him as St. John. Que proof of his practical god- liness is found in the fact that he was a man of whom people in trouble and need were wont to go in order to Gnd comfort and help. VVe have seen no one whose life was more governed by principle-by what he thought to be the teaching of God's VVord. He tried to regard himself, and all he possessed as God's property. Springing out of the foregoing mental, moral and religious traits were certain other remarkable characteristics, among which was 3. A very marked humility of mind before God, and generosity in judging his fellowmen. In a man of such mental power one might. at the first moment, expect an attempt at daring and rationalistic speculation-an attempt to solve the insoluble, or in event of failure. to deny the inscrutable as to fact. But no man of our acquaintance has recognized the limitations of the finite mind more steadily than Dr. Dabney. He stands in this respect in distinguished contrast to some other great and even conservative men of his age. Like a few of the very greatest men he had a true sense of the littleness in grasp and power of the greatest finite intelli- gence in the presence of the being and mystery of an infinite God and His ways. Coupled with this humility before God was an unwonted generosity in judg- ing of the characters of his fellowmen. Severe in his condemnation of evil con- duct and vicious principles, he had a profound regard for God's handiwork wherever seen. He seemed free, entirely free, from envy. He knew what slander was and despised it. Except for the purpose of subserving the interest of truth he rarely related anything of any man that was discreditable to that man. And we doubt whether any minister of our church showed day by day more of genuine and considerate regard for his brethren in the ministry. XVe know that he never spoke save in kind terms of many who criticized him roughly. VVe knew him very intimately as a student knows an indulgent master at whose table he sits: and we know whereof we have spoken. VVe know that few men in the church have habitually spoken more generously of his brethren than he did. And he thought so generously of his friends and favorite pupils that they were sometimes in pos- itive danger therefrom. He projected his own great powers upon them and some- times represented them as quite different and much greater that they really were. 4. Another trait of Dr. Dabney, as we knew him, was his perpetual youth- his young interest in everything going on in the world. Some old men, even old men of power and talents, seem to lose interest in movements contemporary to their old age. They were once interested in all the new isms, movements in church or state for good or evil: but it is no longer so. They are willing for young men to study the new departures: but they did their studying of the like thirty years ago. Dr. Dabney's interest in the things about him and in events in the great 30 world at large never seemed to wane. He remained a learner as long as he lived. He sought new information with avidity. No wide-awake young man distanced him in this. He was, on this account, exceedingly attractive to young men. They found him ever putting himself on the same plane with them-ready to learn what interested them with all zest. Wl1ile he was so interested in every new movement, he by no means regarded all the new as good. This brings us to the last trait of which we shall speak in this paper. 5. He was conservative in theology, philosophy and statesmanship. He was always and everywhere applying the inspired precept, Prove all things: hold fast that which is good. He was consequently at war much in his age-with the atheistic and infidel theories of physical science which have so largely prevailed, with the various forms of evolution, anti-Biblican in their essence, with false psy- cologies and false philosophies, whether pantheistic or materialistic, with jacobin- ism, and mobocracy in politics, with Palagianism in every form and Unitarian- ism in every shade, in theology. Satisfied as to the correctness of the NVest- minster System of doctrinal teaching and satisfied as to the substantial truth of the common sense philosophy of the Scotch school he has given the ablest, though not the simplest exposition and defense of this theology and has enlarged, deep- ened, and ennobled the Scottish philosophy. showing clearly that it is the philosophy of common sense-the only philosophy worthy of acceptance-and the philosophy of the Bible as well. Dr. Dabney has received much criticism as ultra-conservative. Perhaps in some minor matters he was too antagonistic to change: but we confidently await the verdict of history on his conservatism. We do not believe that he was too conservative in most matters and we feel sure that had he been less conservative he would not have served the Church in his generation so well. The Church needed guidance by a man who could and would look before he leaped-before he abandoned the tried old for the untried new. Our age is so impressed with its own greatness: it is so intoxicated by its brilliant achievements in amassing material wealth and making physical discoveries, that it esteems itself too highly. It tends to despise all that it has not itself discovered. It is too ready to receive the new because it is new and to throw away the old because it is old. Every age runs toward godlessness. Much of the new in our age is godless, hence we are in danger of repudiating the best of our inheritance from the past. Hence, also, our need of some man with penetration and insight to discern between good and evil and with heroic boldness to warn us against an evil course, and with the thunderbolt of Thor to demolish the ramparts of error. Dr. Dabney was a great man. XYe can not tell just how great yet. One can not see how great Mont Blanc is while standing at its foot. One hundred years from now men will be able to see him better. - 31 It may be interesting to some who have not seen Dr. Dabney to be told that he was in personal appearance commanding. He was about six feet in height, in his youth slender but in middle age of excellent proportions. He had a noble brow, well shaped and capacious, piercing black eyes set in deep sockets, a large well formed nose, thin lips, mouth and lower face expressive of great firmnessg in his old days a patriarchal beard and abundant hair, both very white-an imperial looking man, a man apparently capable of great things. His movements were always quick, nervous, forceful, though not graceful. His manner and bearing were in no wise unworthy of his great character. 32 Ebwarb 1b. JBarnett. me THERON H. RICE, OF FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH, ATLANTA N the year 1859, a young man of nineteen entered Hampden-Sidney College. After two years of vigorous work he graduated with first honor at the Commencement of 1861. His boyhood had been of the kind which is famous for developing so large a number of the world's able men. Edward Hammet Barnett was born in Montgomery County, Virginia, October 8th, 1840. While he was yet a mere boy his father died and his mother, taking her three children with her to her father's home in Christiansburg, kept Edward at his books and school until he was sixteen. At that age the son deemed f it necessary and right to seek his indepen- dence and entered the ranks of business in the employ of the Atlantic, Mississippi, and Ohio Railroad, now the Norfolk and Western Railway. During the three years of service under this corporation he not l only laid by money enough to enter Col- lege, but also read so industriously and well that he was able to complete his course in half the usual time. The next training for his life work was acquired in the stern school of war. Imme- I , diately after his graduation he entered the army as third sergeant of a students' com- pany, was captured at Rich Mountain, Northern Virginia, paroled and exchanged in 1862. He then entered the Fifty-fourth Virginia Infantry, in which he was EDWARD H. BARN err. 33 promoted to captain and quartermaster, and was afterwards transferred to thc Twenty-first Virginia Cavalry. with which he gallantly served until the surrender of General Lee. In September. 1865, he entered Union Seminary, Yirginia, graduated in 1867, and was licensed to preach by Montgomery Presbytery April 19th. I867.,' His independent work began January 14th, 1870. when, having accepted a call to Abingdon Church, he was ordained to the full work of the ministry by Abingdon Presbytery. In March of this year he married Miss Caroline L. Trent, of Buckingham County, Yirginia, laying the foundation of that beautiful life which was one of the elements of his power. The First Presbyterian Church of Atlanta. Georgia extended Mr. Barnett a call in 1873 which he declined. In 1882 this church renewed its call and Mr. Barnett accepted itg but his Presbytery refused to release him. The Atlanta people immediately renewed the call and at last Presbytery consented to release him. He entered upon his new work in May, 1883. Here he labored for over fifteen years. On Tuesday.September 20th, 1898. the Rev. Edward Hammet Barnett, D. D., pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of Atlanta, Georgia, entered into rest. .After months of increasing physical weakness. against which his strong will battled almost to the last, his robust frame gave way to the power of an insidious and fatal disease. Surrounded by his wife and children, ministered to by the people of his pastoral charge, greeted with visions of the Delectable Mountains, and attended through the Yalley of the Shadow of Death by a brightness which dispelled its gloom, he quitted these earthly scenes for the glories of heaven. A very brief description of this noble alunmus in some of the aspects in which men saw him must conclude this sketch. As a man probably Dr. Barnett's most striking char- acteristic was geniality. He had a large and warm heart with sympathies keenly alive to everything good. His good-will overflowed upon everybody and every- thing which it could righteously go out to. His presence brightened and warmed men when he came into their midst. The rugged Saxon vigor of his frame, the superabundant life-force, furnished the physical basis and, at the same time. an appropriate manifestation, of these spiritual traits. He would sometimes enter a bank or counting-room, be there but a moment, the next minute gone, and yet it was as if a sunbeam had flashed into a shady place. There would be a bright- ness on men's faces which had not been there before and which would die away when he was out of sight. It was remarked by a brother minister that one of the things Dr. Barnett always carried to Presbytery and Synod. which nobody else could contribute, was his inimitable sunniness. As might be inferred, a strong humorous strain was native to his constitution but, as is usually tl1e case with such natures, there was a quick sensibility to pathos and tenderness. Hard by the fountain of smiles lay the fountain of tears. Thus he was qualified to rejoice with 34 ' those who were glad and to weep with those who wept. All was touched and chastened by sanctifying grace. As a preacher he was expository. His dominant desire was to understand the Bible as thoroughly as he could from the original texts and to make men understand it. He had lectured to his people on the Old Testament from the beginning through the reign of Solomon. He was fervid and persuasive in his manner and touched the heart. He was a student, indefatigable. versatile. all his life. He read the Bible again and again all the way through in the original languages, making gram- matical and exegetical notes as he read. He was one of the few busy pastors who kept up his studies so well that he was earnestly sought by Union Theological Seminary to fill one of its chairs. His studies were not confined to theological subjects but ranged over history and literature at large. His people would probably say that of all the capacities in which they knew him he was greatest as a pastor. Certainly he was remarkable in the systematic, regular and frequent visitation of his flock: his warm and gentle heart made him a royal son of consolation to the sorrowing: and his brightness and fun lighted up the gatherings of the young and happy with that innocent merriment which is one of the good gifts of God to this sad world. He was one of the humblest of men, but when he lay low in his coffin that morning of the funeral great multitudes thronging his bier, filling the church aisles until there was no standing room, following the hearse to XVestview Cemetery, and banking the grave with costly flowers, attested the honor in which the faithful minister was held by hundreds of hearts. lt was said by a prominent citizen that all Atlanta loved Dr. Barnett. Men remarked as they watched the long line of carriages file past. that not since the death of Henry Grady had the city seen such a funeral. Another honored name is inscribed upon the lists of Hampden-Sidney's noble dead. .55 I , 'i , N Cf xr f-Z... OVW A: L -' his 5 . ,J .

BY J. 11. 1coGLEsToN. JR. F thinking and dreaming of former days is a sign of old age, the writer must be numbered among the ancients. lt has often seemed to me a peculiar privilege to have known in childhood. boyhood, and young manhood such men as Drs. Dabney. Peck. B. M. Smith. H. C. Alexander. Latimer, and Holladay: and to have had the many traits of their many-sided characters brought vividly before one. It would be impossible, I believe, to name a group of men that have left a stronger impress upon the younger generation. It was a group that combined intellect and brilliancy and humor with character of unsurpassed strength. For sheer intellect and towering force of character. Dr. Dabney was the greatest man it has been my privilege to know. His figure is colossal. and if the present generation does not become decadent-and there is some danger of it-his name will steadily grow and history will give him the place he deserves as one of the greatest men the South has produced. The tender friendship which existed between my father and Dr. Dabney gave me opportunities as a boy of seeing more than the outward aspect of the a. sb latter's character. In a question of right and wrong, Dr. Dabney was like Hint, and shallow eloquence, short-sighted expediency. and impatient and superficial ideas of principle beat themselves to foam against the immovable rock of his logic. But he had that gentleness and generosity and sweet simplicity that all really great men have, and that made those who had the rare privilege of seeing these traits of his character love and admire him intensely. It is not my intention, however. to draw a word-picture of the men named in this sketch, but rather to relate pleasant reminiscences of them, gathered from the many memories that cluster about one's boyhood. VVhether true or not, this story is characteristic and will bear another telling: Dr. Dabney's youngest son. Lewis, had too much of his father's inquiring mind not to make matters embarrassing occasionally, a habit that some boys have. Dr. Dabney. who was for a number of years co-pastor with Dr. Smith of the College church, had preached a great sermon on Love. At the dinner-table that day the conversation naturally reverted to the splendid sentiments contained in the able discourse, when suddenly Lewis interrupted the even How of the con- versation with the question. Pa, does you love everybody? Dr. Dabney replied that he hoped so. Pa, does you love the negroes? Certainly I do, Lewis l Pa, does you love the Yankees? persisted Lewis. There was a pause, and Dr. Dabney replied, Lewis. eat your dinner and tlon't ask so many questions !', It is said of Chief Justice Marshall that he once carried a turkey through the streets for a young man who felt himself above such menial work. I have seen Dr. Dabney in his shirt-sleeves, working on the sidewalk that stretches between Mr. I-Iart's store and the west end of the villageg and he was. I believe, the insti- gator of that walk, Nothing could be more charming than was the simplicity of the man, into whose guileless heart the feeling never lodged that using a hoe or appearing in one's shirt-sleeves under such conditions is very shocking to some people whose supersensitiveness of nerves increases as their good sense diminishes. I remember vividly the contempt I felt when a child, for a critic, now forgotten. who doubtless thought that the laundered collar maketh the man, and who was laughing because she had seen Dr. Dabney on the train with a small bucket of butter in his hands. During my Senior year at college 11885-865 and the session following, I often went to Seminary chapel on VVednesday nights to see some of the students plume their young wings for noble Flights. I would as soon have faced a modern battery as to have preached a trial sermon in the presence of Drs. Smith, Peck. Alexander. Latimer. and Moore. The audience had to retire before the skinning com- menced. and it was a merciful thing to the students that this was so. Sometimes 39 I kept my seat, and sometimes not even the unrighteousness of the act could keep me from slipping upstairs and taking my seat in the gallery of the chapel in order to hear the rare bits of criticism which always followed any stupendous effort that was t'a.r. ct frrawrra uihil. Did any rash fledgling dare to soar to lofty flights or attempt to cover poverty of thought with richness of verbiage, I know of nothing that could have prevented my witnessing the keen manner in which Dr. Peck thrust through it all, or hearing the plain, matter-of-fact comments of Dr. Smith and shaking with laughter at the irresistibly humorous criticisms of Dr. Alexander, or enjoying the complete demolition of the effort by Dr. Latimer and the graceful and at times humorous words of Dr. Moore. It is disparaging to none to say that Dr. Peck's criticisms were always highly valued by those who really wished to learn. One night Joe Vance preached a trial sermon-and he was much above the ordinary-and every professor had something to say except Dr. Peck, who arose in his turn and said that he had no remarks to make. His silence was more ominous to Vance than any criticism the venerable Doctor could have given. To Vance's mind it was very evident that the Doctor preferred to keep silent rather than thrust him through and through. And so, after a night and morning of miserable uncertainty, Vance called on the Doctor at his study and told him he appreciated his kindness in not wishing to hurt him, but, said he. I have come to ask you to criticize my sermon freely and not spare me. Dr. Peck looked perfectly grave as he said, VVell, Mr. Yance, to be perfectly frank with you, I did not hear a word of it. I was asleep ! and then shook with that laughter of his that was thoroughly con- tagious. Dr. Peck had a vein of humor that was delightful in its mellowness. It was a trait that was not suspected by the casual observer, for a man who loved and followed truth as uncompromisingly as he did, could not but seem severe at times. VVithout the brilliancy of Dr. Alexander, the ready speech of Dr. Smith, or the tremendous force of Dr. Dabney, he was not equalled by any one of them in the splendid poise of his judgment. His learning was great, his thinking was pro- found, his language was logic itself, his conclusions were preeminently safeg and schooled as he was to severe study, it required the privilege of friendship in his ideal home to know not only that he had a rich vein of humor, but that his heart was as tender as a little child's and his sympathies as warm as a womans. One recalls the time when the sad tidings were brought him of the passing away of Stockton Mosby, when the saintly teacher burst into a flood of tears and wept in deepest grief. But the severe studies in which he engaged, made the humorous side of life the more enjoyable to one who was so easily moved by humor. I can never forget the day when, at the dinner-table, I told what I considered one of my choicest jokes, at which the Doctor laughed heartily. Mrs. Peck, with that delightful raillery for which she was noted, quietly remarked to me, Joe, you must not 40 feel too much elated over Mr. Peck's laughing so. He laughs at any kind of a joke l And the Doctor's enjoyment of that good thrust far exceeded his enjoy- ment of my joke. Several of the young ladies of the Hill, and their escorts, were invited to tea one evening. IVe had all been seated a moment, when the Doctor, whom I had not seen that day, came in and took his seat. At once we bowed our heads for a blessing, and Dr. Peck said, Mr. Eggleston ! My heart traveled at lightning speed to my shoe, for I had never asked a blessing. I looked up, much startled, and he said, Good evening! My first look of utter dismay, and then the very rapid and relieved manner in which I responded, Good evening, Doctor! was too much for the gravity of the Doctor and the guests, and the entire table was at once convulsed at my expense. Dr. Peck's devotion to study may be judged from this story, which I have never heard contradicted: Iyhen he first began to preach and was paid his salary by check, he took the check to bank to have it cashed. The cashier handed back the check to the young preacher and told him he would have to endorse it. Dr. Peck wrote on the back of the check, I fully endorse the within, and signed his name! It was a liberal education to have known Dr. Alexander. A great traveler, an omnivorous reader, a charming raconteur, it was a rare good fortune to listen to him and to hear the wealth of information and reminiscence that poured from his lips in language sparkling with most delightful humor. I have never known any one who could tell a ghost-story with more hair-rais- ing effect than Dr. Alexander. He was charming to children, and at his invitation we sometimes met at his hospitable board, none but little people being permitted to be present, and after tea were told stories that made our mouths open and our eyes look like saucers. lYe were in a tremor of terror, yet so enthralled that we invariably plead for just one more, and I remember that one night I deliberately decided to take a whipping by remaining overnight on the Hill without my father's permission, rather than run a gauntlet of ghosts by walking home through the woods by the old pond or walking by a negro graveyard on the main road. The excuse proved of sufhcient force to ward off the expected punishment. It was at the Club that Dr. Alexander's humor shone brightest. The mere twinkle of his eyes foretold the fun that was certain to follow, and that finally resulted in an outburst of inextinguishable laughter. The subject booked for discussion one evening was Stanley. Henry M. Stanley was just back from his immortal trip through darkest Africa, and of course he was meant when the subject was proposed. Dr. Alexander was on the class for discussion, and he purposely jumbled every Stanley of whom he had ever heard. Vtlith a preten- naturally solemn face he told of Stanley's wonderful discoveries in Africa, of .LI Stanley's brilliant chess-playing, of having heard a great sermon preached by Stanley in NVestminster Abbey, and of Stanley's translation of the Iliad. Vlfhat made the occasion tenfold more humorous was that some of the mem- bers failed to understand the situation, and looked at the speaker as if they thought him a fit subject for an asylum. Dr. Latimer was so overcome by the solemn and amazed expressions of some of the serious members, that I thought Dr. Morton Holladay, who was himself almost exhausted by laughter, might have a case of apoplexy to treat, and when the speaker concluded and a member observed in all seriousness that he had had no idea that Stanley was so versatile a man, the Club surrendered all dignity, and even Professor Holladay, who usually laughed in a very quiet manner. completely collapsed. Altogether it was one of the most humorous situations it has been my privilege to witness. Dr. Blair, who had been enjoying the scene in his quiet way, observed. Dr. Alexander, I am surprised that you omitted Stanley the sailor I I never heard of him, replied Dr. Alexander. VVell, said Dr. Blair, he went in search of a uzvan bay tEmin Beyl l Dr. Alexander was an earnest believer in minute doses of quinine taken at intervals during the day. He came to the drug-store one morning in the early fall of '89 and asked for a box Cone hundredl of one-grain capsules. About a month later he came into the store and in a state of scarcely suppressed excitement inquired if he had asked, a month previously, for a box of one-grain quinine capsules. I informed him that he had asked for a box of one-grain capsules, but not for quinine capsules. And do you mean to tell me that I have been taking one-grain empty capsules three times a day for a month F he exclaimed. I was so overcome by the ludicrousness of the picture that I am sure I would have laughed had I been facing the cannon's mouth, but I managed to reply that if he hadn't filled the capsules he had been doing that very thing! I asked him how he had made the discovery. He said he had taken all in the box except four, and that one of them that morning had accidentally fallen open and he noticed at once that it was empty. The remaining three were found likewise. VVith a half-groan, as he left the store, he said. I know I am full of malaria 3 XVhat made the affair the more amusing was that the Doctor had been telling some of his friends what a splendid effect these capsules were having on him, and advising them to try the same treatment. VVhen the humor of the situation dawned on him, he told the joke on himself in his own inimitable style. Although it was agony to me to do so, I kept the matter a secret, telling no one except my father and Dr. Holladay and binding them to strictest confidence. Dr. Alexander had a horror of such expressions as in our midst, things of time and sense, etc. One night at Seminary chapel. his criticism of a young sermon by a young preacher who had aroused the Doctor's literary ire by the unfortunate use of these expressions, was as follows: There are certain things in the animal world that always go together. For example, the broad bill and the 42 webbed foot. Xlfhenever a speaker uses the expression, ' in our midst,' you may be certain that ' things of time and sense ' will follow! I remember as a very small boy that Dr. Smith always had a pleasant word for the children and never failed to speak to us in a kindly way. His sweetness of expression attracted children, and he had a quaint humor about him that proa voked a laugh, did we dare give expression to it in the presence of one whom we knew to be a great and good man. A distinguished minister told me recently that when he was a student at the Seminary he received a telegram calling him to the bedside of his father. Dr. Smith heard of it, said he, and came at once to my room and talked with me. My own mother could not have been tenderer than he was in his expressions of sympathy. There was nothing perfunctory about it, and I have never forgotten it. This was one trait of his character that made him so beloved as a pastor. Dr. Smith could cure youthful presumption. whether in trial sermons or on the street. A college boy met the old gentleman one day and in a quite chirpy and familiar tone said, How do, Doctor! The Doctor stopped and asked quietly, NVhat is your name, sir! XYith a very important air young Yerdant Green replied. I am l, a college boy. XYell, said Dr. Smith, college boys are like negroes in one respect-it is hard to tell one from another. A Seminary student read his trial sermon at chapel one night. Dr. Smith's comment on the discourse was, If the gentleman -avi!! read his sermon, he ought to learn to read l I can remember distinctly how impressively the Doctor could read hymns. I have never known any one who could approach him in this. Dr. Smith would come out upon the street sometimes, with a letter or note in his hand, ask the first persrn lc met if he knew of any one going to Farm- ville. It became quite a joke. and one morning Mr. Conway Taliaferro-about whom, by the way. could be written a separate article of reminiscences-came out from Mr. Hart's store and saw Dr. Smith approaching. Several gentlemen were standing in front of the store. Mr. Taliaferro gave the wink and said he was going to forestall the Doctor, as he knew he would ask if he knew of any one going to Farmvillef' He called out. Good morning. Doctor! Do you know of any one going to Farmville this morning? Yes, said Dr, Smith, I am going in a few minutes. lN'hat can I do for you? Mr. Taliaferro was completely Hoored, but replied meekly that he would like to send a note by him. The Doctor said he would wait for the note, so Mr. Taliaferro compromised by requesting him to ask how much balance he had at bank. He said afterwards that he had not had a bal- ance at the bank for weeks, of which fact both he and the cashier were well aware. The story is told that Dr. Smith once received a letter from the president of a female college telling him that one of his daughters who recently entered the school was doing very nicely. but was, just then, suffering from a severe attack 43 of nostalgia. Without stopping to think of the nature of the disease, he took the first train and on arriving at the school found that his daughter was in no danger from an acute, but harmless, case of homesickness, which attacks almost every one at some time in life. Our old cook once said of one of my friends, Me and him is mighty familiar friends. And so, I may say that with Dr. Latimer I was not so familiar as with the others mentioned. He was a prodigious student. VVhen called to the Seminary to teach church history, he remarked that if there was one subject in the course that he knew nothing about, it was church history. But in this modest estimate of his equipment the students did not agree with him. To them he seemed perfectly familiar with every branch of the subject. It was his conscientious prep- aration, however, that helped to hasten his death. Many a time his study-lamp could be seen burning brightly into the late hours of the night. Dr. Latimer had the reputation of being a splendid Greek scholar, yet he did not make a specialty of Greek until he became chaplain at the University of Virginia. He told me that he went to the professor of Greek and said he wished to take his course. The professor replied rather sarcastically that the chaplains always took 1' Greek, but rarely finished it! Dr. Latimer said the remark made him determined both to take it and to finish it. I think he graduated at the head of the class. It would be impossible in a short sketch to give an adequate picture of Professor Holladay. A separate article of anecdotes and reminiscences would be scarcely sufficient for this many-sided man. He was a prince among men. He had great wit, but it mellowed under the sweet sunshine of his nature before it passed his lips. His humor was charming and irresistible. I never knew but one man who could talk with Professor Holladay and not be completely captivated by this exquisite quality, which he possessed to a preeminent degree. And really the man wasn't to blame, for where his bumps of lnunor should have been, there was, I am sure, a depression, and a man without humor should have pity, not censure, if he will only keep his distance. As Baldwin says of Burwell Shines in Flush Times, three such men at a country frolic would have turned an old Virginia reel into a dead march. It is safe to say that in the famous days of the Club, Professor Holladay and Dr. Alexander were the life of it. Their humor was the spice which seasoned every mental feast to a delicious turn. And yet in a crowd Professor Holladay was always retiring, and as quiet as he was permitted to be. It was his wonderful personality that made him a marked man in any group of men, and that permeated everything with which he had anything to do. For myself, I could not dissociate Hampden-Sidney from Professor Holladay, or vice versa. So marvelous was his influence among the college boys that the institution and the man separated were 44 to me unthinkable. I can not say that no college boy ever failed to love, admire, and respect him, but I am frank to say that I never knew one that did not have these feelings for him. How did he have such an influence? is a question I have often asked myself. So one might ask the same question about Arnold, of Rugby, or james H. Carlisle, of Wofford, or Agassiz. It was not what the man knew, it was what he was. Professor Holladay was a man of brilliant attainments. His record at college, I have been told, has never been equalled, and one of his class- mates said to me only a few years ago that the members of his class did not ask from a professor the solution of the most abstruse problem or the translation of the most difficult passage of Latin or Greek if Lewis Holladay was around. But it was not these attainments that gave him his influence. I-Ie was greater than all these. No boy in trouble ever found a kindlier sympathy awaiting him-yea, searching him out-than Professor Holladay's. I-Ie could rebuke as sternly as any man I have known, but the culprit knew the rebuke was just and that it was given in sorrow and without a trace of harshness or bitterness. As a youth at college I often said to myself with joy, I believe Professor Holladay likes me! and, I doubt not every other boy said and thought the same thing for himself. VVe are not too old to know the power of love in the teacher of the past. In the present rush for knowledge, the modern teacher is too prone to forget this greatest attain- ment, if indeed he has ever given it a thought. And too seldom does some power- ful Great Heart like Professor Holladay cross the path of our lives,breathe inspira- tion into our sleeping souls, and pass away, while we who have had the precious privilege of having known and loved him. erect in our hearts imperishable monu- ments to his memory. Professor Holladay had no classes below the junior year, but he had equally as great influence over the Freshmen and Sophomores as over the Juniors and Seniors. I did not like the studies he taught, and so there were others under whom I learned more and whose studies I enjoyed. But when there came a con- flict of right and wrong in my soul, I did not think of these, it was the powerful influence of Professor Holladay, whose great character won my love and my awe, that came to me, and in many a doubting time helped me to choose the better way. His death was one of the greatest griefs of my life, and who that knew him can look upon the dear old I-Iill, sacred with the memories of the noble and saintly men and women who have passed to their reward, and not have a wistful longing that his familiar figure may be seen on the afternoon walk and his pleasant greet- ing rest upon one like a benediction? My language will not be considered extrav- agant by those who were in college under him. Should it seem so to those less fortunate, permit me to say in conclusion that I loved and admired and reverenced him with a height and depth and breadth that words can not describe. Only one other teacher I have loved and admired equally, the teacher of my school-boy days at old Prince Edward Academy. whose sterling worth is above praise and who is to-day one of the few that remain to link the present with the sacred past. 45 llbrincebarb Glourtsbouse Elias iLU1oosbum.

At the time to which these annals of a quiet neighborhood refer, as Paul said of Tarsus, it was not a city. but a village of which the villagers might say, I am a villager of no mean village. It was somewhat straggling in its streets. laid off as Knickerbocker says of lower New York, by the cows going out to pasture by the easiest grades. It was IlOt Tllli court-house, for that was appropriated by all the students from Tcharlotte, as Mozes Adums wrote it, to harmonize with the local vocalism. and applied to that monumental village, now called Smithville. This name I suppose, was in honor of one john Smith. whose devoted head was saved from being smashed into smithereens by one Pocahontas. a lineal ancestress of .lohn Randolph of Roanoke, also of Tcharlotte County. The two counties always had a kind of Scotch-English border grudge about Little Roanoke bridge, near the border, on account of the royal names accorded to them respectively in the days of loyalty to England as a kind of spiteful, colonial stepmother. But our Court-house got the bulge on Smithville when Hampden and Sidney were both embalmed. unlike Miles's beef. in the splendid mausoleum on College Hill. The Hrst glint I got of the Court-house was when, in August, 1850, my father and I, seated on tired horses, at liingsville, another village, looked over the umbrageous shrubbery of that beautifully undulating and richly cultivated country, and saw the quiet cozy houses peeping through the branches of fruit and shade trees. As we rode down the slope of a gently declining hill, we passed the beautiful residence of old, old Dr. Mettauer, then head surgeon of the Medical Department of Randolph-Macon College. A little further on we passed on the same side, the embowered home of judge Asa D. Dickinson, whose two beautiful sisters-in-law were then visitors at his home, and made a Freshman. green as the 46 grass of his country home, dis-remember the girl he left behind him, Further up the road on the left, we found the residence of Dr. li. F. Terry. our Alabama, for this was to us the place of rest. To say that I was not lonesome when my father left, would be to make young George XVashington go back on his principles. Raised in the good old county of Hanover. where the slashes of Topotomoi verge on to the deeper slashes of Chick- ahominy. I never got lonesome,-for it was home. made supremely happy by a mother, father, brothers and sisters, and negroes who had been 1ny playmates from the days of babyhood. But away off at the embryo XYooshum, haunted by memory of miles up the canal. and then miles across Cumberland. and still wearier miles on that hard trotting horse through Ifornivillef' I felt lonesomer than I did when alone at the Exposition in Vienna, in 1873. But give the young man a chance, and amid congenial spirits, the dew of youth will soon sparkle in the sunshine of a new environment. Not a month had passed before I had a speaking acquaintance with over one hundred boys, and some of these I love to-day as I did in those young days, when ties are so easily formed, and often. alas! as easily broken. The first shock given to me,the son of an elder,was when the venerable pastor of the church drank a glass of wine in an elder's parlor. It may have been for his stomach's sake, or his often infirmity. But I was a strange boy far off from home, a home where not even domestic wine was manufactured, and that scene left an impression on my memory and heart which is sad for me to think of to-day. Touch not. taste not, handle not, is a lesson that can not be too early, or too indelibly burnt into the brain and conscience of a young boy. As the days went merrily and monotonously by, there were many changes among the students who boarded at the Court-house, and these. ar zzrrrssitafc, formed a society of their own. The most of us lived out in offices. as where Winston and I roomed at Dr. Terry's. .-Xt Mr. Andersons, Aunt Sam's, 'A the gray mare being the better horse, Blair and Tom XVhite roomed. And at one time there was another office in the corner of the yard, where roomed together, if I mistake not, at one time, or at different times, David M. Lockett. of Powhatan, Jim Hammersley, of Charlotte, George Ford, of Cartersville, Charlie VVoodson. of Buckingham, Daniel A. Penick, of North Carolina, and Clem Fontaine. of Cum- berland. Lockett and Hammersley went off to Alabama, and, as Dr. Johnson said. teeched a leetle schulef' Lockett died in Texas, and I buried his young daughter, after a year's unhappy marriage. in Selma. Hammersley I met on the Mechanicsville Turnpike during the war, a gallant soldier in the Canebrake Rifles. and as such he fell. and was buried on the soil of his native state. Charlie XVoodson. who stuttered so badly. on occasions, that no professor could ever grade his recitations. is a planter in Alabama. 47 VVinston I met not long since, and he reminded me of several of my youthful logical deductions. He was desperately in love with one of the sweetest of the village maids. I advised him to go ahead, court and marry her, giving as a clinch- ing argument that she was delicate and could not live long, and her dcafh might scrw' as a means of grace to him. I-Ie might have said as the Dutch woman said to Longfellow when he gave her a little coin, Thou blessed babe! Clem Fontaine-De La Fontaine, as he wanted to Frenchify his name, but we student founders of the immortal VVooshum would not allow it,-lived near Wytheville. He received a center shot at dinner one day, when Aunt Sam, with all the caustic suavity of an old Virginia mother, said to him, You, sir, must remember that notoriety is not fame, and you are making yourself notorious, but not famous. Tom Ward White, with his auburn locks and flowing broomstraw beard. is still sloshing around the wilds of Texas and Indian Territory, for no pent-up Utica can circumscribe the ubiquitous proclivities of this indefatigable evan- gelist, Daniel Penick, we are both preachers now, and it was long, long ago. VVe were all playing leap-frog, and as Daniel deftly put his hand on my shoulders, for an acrobatic leap, I tucked my head and shoulders, and Daniel fell Hat on the hard beaten pathway. Knowing that it must be a fight or a footrace, I took him at the disadvantage of getting back his lost breath, and scooted beyond range of any- thing but 1'0.r, at prmrrca. 711.111-LU VVhen we met again his anger had gone as his lost breath returned, and we were, and no doubt are, warm friends to this present. There was another wonderful advantage we NVooshumite students enjoyed in those days. That was attendance upon county and circuit courts, not to mention the general muster of the militia once a year. On one of these militia musters I took the place of a private in a cavalry company, on a blooded bay mare. I had learned to ride horseback almost as soon as I had learned to walk, and I shall never forget the fun of that rollicking day. The infantry, composed of the mclish, and the Farmville Blues, armed and equipped, were drawn up in line, and we, the cavalry, were ordered to charge. Then as we drew near and the bayonets were charged, we were ordered to retreat at the sound of the bugle. Over and over again we charged, and on the retreat my little mare would get her mettle up and away she would go for a mile. I think I must have ridden ten miles that day, and did not fully recover for a month. Ah me! How little did we think then that in less than a decade, these fuss- and-feathers militia, with cocked hats and plumes, would become Confederate soldiers! But many of the cavalry and the infantry of those halcyon days of peace are now sleeping in honored gravesg or wounded, worn and weary, are contrast- ing, with deserved contempt, the complaints made at the meagre rations issued during our recent war with Spain. The old Court-house has no cause to be ashamed of the gallant sons of that day, whether living or dead. 48 But the courts! Ah! There were giants in those days. There was old Judge Leigh of Halifax, who would have been an ornament to the supreme court in those better days of the republic. There was john T, Thornton, XV. C. Flournoy, Hunter Marshall, A. D. Dickinson, Samuel Anderson, NYood Bouldin, and others whose names do not occur to me now, in the lapse of these lingering years. But as I look across that bloody chasm. which closed not only the war, but so many of the traditions. the fortunes, the homes, the professions, the very idiosyncracies and idealities of the old Virginia gentleman, I can only close my eyes upon the glory gone forever. Let Princedward Court-house be called XYooshum! For one, I do not care if the old traditions and memories crumble with the dust of those who once made her the garden spot of Virginia. 49 Ggigvylw COLLEGE LIBRARY jfiftg lljears Elgo::1849s1899. BY JOSEPH MCMURRAN. HALF century ago, Hampden-Sidney College was not as well and widely known as it is now. Though, then, three-quarters of a century old, its patronage seemed to be connned to the counties adjoining Prince Edward and to a few neighboring cities. To reach the College from Farmville was by conveyances hard to get and the trip cost as much as from Lynchburg to Farm- ville. The only means of reaching these places was by private conveyances from the adjoining counties and by stages from Lynchburg, Milton, North Carolina, and Petersburg. There were two routes from Richmond, one by stage all the way, another by the James River Canal to Cartersville and then by stage forty miles across country over the Old United States Mail Route from New Orleans by Cumberland Court-house. As an inducement to students to enter college and make this long journey, the catalogue says the College is surrounded by a com- munity, distinguished for intelligence, morality and purity. in the families of which students may enjoy all the social advantages consistent with a life of study. This way students found to be true and it served to make their sojourn at the College a pleasant one, the memory of which clung to him through life. In the beginning of the session of 1849-50 a change had taken place in the administration of affairs. The new president, Rev. Lewis XY. Green, who came from Kentucky with a high reputation as a teacher and preacher, had just entered upon his duties. Professor Charles Morton had returned full of hope from his canvass of the State for the sale of the scholarships that had been recently established, and the session opened with an improved financial prospect and a larger number of students. The faculty now consisted of Rev. Lewis Wi. Green, D. D., presidentg Charles Morton, profes- sor of ancient languages: Charles S. Yenable, professor of mathematics: Richard Sterling, professor of natural philosophy and chemistry: and NVi1liam H. NVQ-st, principal of the preparatory department, which then occupied the second story of the Stewart Hallft In this connection the venerable form of the Rev. Dr. :tNow the residence of Mrs. Eggleston.-ED. 50 Benjamin Rice, who was for so many years the faithful pastor of the College church, looms up and recalls his efficient service to the students, many of whom still remember his often preached sermon on the text- Children obey your par- ents in the Lord, but he has long since gone to receive the reward of a faithful servant. The Class of ISSO had only two graduates: Gustaves A. Buss and Edmund O. Fitzgerald, but the enrollment that year reached one hundred and forty-six, a larger number than had been in attendance for many years. The College seemed to have taken a new lease of life and from this renaissance may be dated its continued prosperity to this day. ln the beginning of the session 1850-51, the mathematical course was advanced one year, so that most of the Class of 1851 recited their mathematics with the junior Class. The graduates of 1851 numbered thirteen and the total enrollment for the year was one hundred and twenty-two. VVith tl1e revival of interest in the College the students renewed their interest in the two literary societies, the Union and Philanthropic, which have added so much to the important work. To increase an interest in tl1e debates the Philanthropic society determined in 1851 to present a gold medal to the best debater of the graduating class in that society, the selection to be made after a set debate by contestants. The first contest was between Robert Dabney and Phil VV. McKinney. and after a long, earnest and honorable effort, P. XV. McKinney was decided the victor and the first medal of the society was conferred upon him. The presentation took place at Commencement, and his warm per- sonal friend, H. Clay Dickinson, made the presentation address. The college buildings, campus, and surroundings were fifty years ago not very attractive in appearance. The feeling seemed to prevail that to have things otherwise would tend to make students lazy and effeminate. Lest the students should become lux- urious in their habits the furniture of the dormitories were of the plainest and most meagre kind. Xlfindow curtains, wash-bowls, pitchers, rocking chairs, lounges, soft beds and easy chairs were things unknown. Some were fortunate enough to have rooms in private families and these fared better, though they missed the big 'possum and coon supper furnished every Friday night after the literary society meetings by the good-natured darkies that had the run of the college passages. This was the only source of supply for extra eatings that the students of that day had. There were two prominent officials con- nected with the College during this period who formed a necessary and important part of its machinery. Uncle Billy Evans was for three-quarters of a century its janitor and bell-ringer and could tell tl1e names and characteristics of all those enrolled in the College for many years past and was often consulted in making a list of old students. So attached did he become to the bell that the tricks played upon it by mischievous students were a great annoyance to him. Davis Ross was the assistant of Uncle Billy in his old age and after his death was made chief in the place of the old man, who lies buried near the College church. The saddest thought in reference to this period is the fact that all tl1e heads of families. 51 that furnished honies and contributed to the social life of the students of a half- eentury ago, have passed away and the younger members of the families that fornied the society of that vicinity are either dead or have QTJIIC to other and dis- tant homes, and only the sweet nieniorv of their genial life remains to recall the past of Hanipden-Sidney. Their names and kind deeds are still cherished but we forhear to call the names of the fair of that day lest the reader may think them no longer fair but changed into wld ladies luv the unsparing hand of Time.

HE society halls were in the center of the old college building on the top rloor just over the chapel. separated from each other by a partition, each being half the width of the main building. To enter the halls one had to ascend the long stairway leading to the last Hoor from which one descended about three steps to the Hoor of the society halls. just across the passage-way and oppo- site the door of each society hall was a chamber which was used as the goat room of the society. Into these rooms the candidates for membership were crowded to await the signal of entrance from the grand mogul, summoning them into his august presence. With fear and trembling, glancing here and there for the goat, they answered his summons on the memorable night of their initiation, and soon found themselves grouped about the sacred chair of the mogul. listening to the ancient and imposing ceremony which was to induct them into membership and seal their engagement to be loyal to the principles of the society. The ceremony being over they were seated upon chairs in orderly fashion around the walls of the room. The halls were striking in appearance and equally striking in their difference. The Union hall was a large rectangular room furnished with elegant simplicity and modesty. The carpets and tapestry were costly and so well chosen as to give a majestic appearance to the dimensions of the room. A handsome round table with beautiful cover stood in the center of the hall on which lay about a dozen books of splendid binding. -lust opposite the table against the wall was the pres- ident's chair properly elevated upon a platform and finely cushioned and curtained. It was supported by two other chairs intended for officers of less dignity and con- sequently less pretentious but quite in keeping with the fitness of things. Wlhen lighted in the evening the light fell in softened splendor about the room making a pleasant impression upon the eyes and adding' beauty and impressiveness to the scenery of the hall. On the other hand the Philanthropic hall was neither circular nor rectangular in shape, but somewhat between the two. as if it had been built upon the maximum 53 section of a huge ostrich eggg so constructed, it was supposed, for artistic or oratorical effect. It was no less elegantly but more elaborately furnished than the Union hall. The dimensions of the room were less imposing than those of the adjoining room, owing to the shape of the walls. It was thought by many, how- ever, to be superior to the Union hall in the beauty of its appointments and adap tation to public speaking. The difference in the appearance of the two halls wa a tacit recognition of the difference of taste. NVhat is true of these societies is true, perhaps, of all college societies: for experience has shown that it is better to have two societies than one, not only to stimulate the students by wholesome rivalry, but to meet the tastes of different men. In regard to society matters we may say, as in other things, dc gzzsfilnzs 11011 dispzztazzdlzfiz. The appearance of the halls, however, is of slight importance compared with their design. They were the chosen places to encourage and develop the literary talent of the young men: and they served the purpose well. The methods used in the cultivation of the art of public speaking were, for the most part. excellent. By way of encouragement several medals were given for proficiency in speaking, besides an opportunity to gain a place among the speakers chosen for public occasions. The csprif dv rorjvs of each society being very fine, the newcomer soon learned to be perfectly at home on the floor of his hall, though his first experience was often quite painful. Of the two societies, perhaps more attention was paid to debate in the Union, and to oratory in the Phip. This may in part account for the observable difference in the style of the oratory of the societies. The Union orator was quiet, philo sophical, logical: the Phip. orator, graceful, impassioned, sublime. The ideal of the former was the style of john C. Calhoun: of the latter, Daniel XVebster. Albeit on public occasions, barring native ability and careful preparation. there was no marked difference in the quality of oratory by the representatives of the two societies. At this period in the history of the College each society owned and controlled its own library. The books were stored away in the walls of the society halls being arranged in shelves and enclosed with glass or wooden doors. XVhile this gave each hall quite a literary appearance, the arrangement was not without grave disadvantages. It separated books that ought to have gone together and often necessitated long search for a desired book, involving much waste of valuable time. The desire of the students to preserve the handsome appearance of the halls forbade their use as reading rooms. The time for procuring books from the libraries was confined to certain hours in the week. If it chanced to be incon- venient for one to get books during these hours, he would probably postpone the matter indefinitely, especially if his literary zeal was not very great. It is the opinion of the writer that a library should be so arranged and con- trolled that a student may have access to it at any reasonable hour in the day The reading room feature should be attached with comfortable seats and tables to 54 encourage students to acquaint themselves with the best authors and to browse among the most celebrated literary productions. The room should be kept com-- fortable in all kinds of weather. In such a place, with such surroundings, one catches a kind of inspiration-a sort of silent communion with the masters of all ages. Here, too, one learns how to find what he may want in future years, while cultivating a loft' of books. In former years these privileges were denied the Hampden-Sidney student: but it is stated upon good authority that, in this respect, great improvements have been made in recent years. Old students are looking with confidence and pleasure to the day when the enlarged library of the College will be stored away in the nne building formerly used as a library by the Union Seminary, and when funds will be forthcoming to purchase annually the best books on the market. God speed the good work of the literary societies of Hampden-Sidney College. 55 'xr fs ji fri, 1-M, A 1' -ei 4' S w V5 Mn I xp: - - if Lf -I ff V, 'fa 2 'Ji' .:.

U li who listen with credulity to the whispers of fancy and pur- sue with eagerness the phan- toms of hope: who expect that age will perform the promises of youth and that the deficiencies of to-day will be supplied by the morrow, listen to the history of the Class of 'USL Little did we think when first as Fresh- men we trod the classic halls of Hamp- den-Sidney that one day we too should join the honored band whom we then 1'e,g'arded as the fountain and source of all knowledge. We looked upon the position of a Senior as pilgrims upon the sun-lit summits of the Delectable Moun- tains. and our sheepskins as things to be hoped for rather than expected. But now that we have reached the heights to which we then so aspiringly cast our eyes in the morning' of our college career. we liud alas! that we are but 'like Rasselas escaping' from the Happy Valley. for we tinrl before us. not Elysian fields of pleas- ure. but the Sf6I'11 realities of life, And yet. may we not hope thatl. during' the brief period of respite afforded us by the coming' vacation before we enter once and for all into the great struggle of life. resolves will be made and fixed purposes formed. which shall lead to grand results? Time alone can tell this: but without surmising' as to the future we can at least say that so far our class has not. been found wanting either on the athletic field or in the classroom. for we have contributed our quota to the College football. baseball. and gymnasium teams: and more than one '99 man has been numbered among' those honored by the litera1'y societies or by the student body at large. Laying' aside malice, distrust, jealousy. and all that would contribute to render our association as classiuates anything but pleasant. shoulder to shoul- der we have pressed on through the burn- ing' sun of college curriculum up the Howery t'?J pathway of knowledge. toil- iug. strug'g'ling. and-I may add- kick- ing. with unflagging' energy. Nor is this all. we have the honor of enrollingamong our number many whose qualities have gained for them undying fame among' their fellow students. First and foremost stands he whose wisdom in all branches of human knowledge is so great as to bar description. He can dis- course with equal Huency on Nt'XYf0ll'S Laws of Motion. Plane Polarized Light, or the subject of Dialectic Evolution, XVe all do know his name-Bondurant. Or, peradveutlure. you may wish to hear of him whom men call Mud Fensef' a mighty man in lsrael. who draweth inspi- ration from, well somewhere, for his puns are odorous with ill-timed analogies and obscure resemblances. He diligently searches the depths of Carhart. or the carefully prepared volumes of Hines and Noble but for the fell purpose of hurling an unheard-of pun at some guileless passer-by. Nor are we lacking in pure religion and undefiled. for we daily expect to see Brethf' and Line. arm in arm describing' uniform rectilinear motion for the Pearly Gates of Eden. We are not. moreover. one whit behind the very chiefest class in College in the mat- ter of natural curiosities. for we have among' our number the lengthy shoes of Nitf' the legs of J, R.. and the feet of Dick.

T WAS long ago.early in our Freshman days. that the man who was chosen to chronicle our deeds said of us that the only friend we had was Providence. But-. times have changed since those times. and now we are numbering our friends by squadrons instead of indi- viduals. For we have always been a devil-may-care sort of class. and a certain W'ise Man from Amelia once said that we were the only people he had ever seen who didn't mind flunking on exams. And. indeed. we think the man spoke truly. for really we don't mind that sort of thing very much, we are preemi- nently a philosophical class and we believe in taking life easy. As a natural consequence we have no bright par- ticular stars. and. when we burn the midnight oil. it is usually for other pur- poses t.han that of study. But every one says that we are a nice class from A clear down to Z. and we have a marvelous faculty for scrambling through exams. However. ive have shown that we can stick to a thing till the light goes out.. for. contrary to the usual custom. our numbers have waxed larger and larger as time has gone by. XVe started out with about thirty-eight Freshmen: forty men struggled through Soph. English into Juniordorng and this year. when we had finished selling the Sophomores books they didn't want and had time to look around us, we found that We were still forty in number. Our really strong point is athletics. Last year victory perched on our stand- ard and since then she has made it her permanent home. We tried a tussle with '99 over the pigskin. and when it was ended. '99 kicked itself individually and collectively. On the diamond we were not less strong. for our baseball game with '99 was only the same story set to a. different tune. Another thing xvorthy of note is the variety of famous men that go to make np our class. There is Jones. the crack Latin scholar: Epes. our compendium of information: Cole. the man of the world: Osborne. a lad o' pairts -and very large ones they are: Pilson. who rejoices in the name of James W'il1iam Handy. Then there is Hart. who goes to Farm- ville and comes back speaking strange words of dark eyes and long lashes. One, too. there was. Randolph. L. C.. IL phil- osopher and metaphysician. who wrought out strange theories about the Idea of the Immaterialf' but he staid only long enough for us to learn to love him. These are only a, ferv of our great men, but the historian. like all other mortals. must adapt. himself to circumstances. and space allovvs no more. Ere long the mantle of the Seniors will fall on us, and already we have a dignity above the dig- nity of Sophs. and Freshmen. There be many lions in t.he Way but if the presid- ing deities, which being interpreted is the faculty, are willing. we hope to pull through, and then, perhaps, when our day is over there can be found a. man more fit to tell our story than THE HISTORIAN.

U Histories are as perfect as the historian iswisei' - Ca rlyle. in ISTORIES, says Francis Bacon, make men wise. This is the end which historians generally have in viewg but the chief object of the class historian seems to be to impress upon the mind of the reader the great fact, that his particular class is undoubt- edly the best that has ever been enrolled on the college register. His next aim is to mention by name those members of his class whose peculiarities. perfections, and imperfections attract the most atten- tion among their fellow-students. In looking over the names on our class- roll we found that we had our share of Jones. Greens. and Browns. who. I am glad to say. reiiect honor on their numer- ous ancestors by taking a prominent stand in the classroom. Our Augustus, if unskilled in the use of his sword. at least knows how to wield his pen. and is winning laurels for himself as a con- tributor to the Magazine. Our giant, McAllister, is among the Brobdig- nags of Collegeg our pigmy. considera- tion for his feelings prevents our men- tioning his name. is still in shorts. As our Spider is noted for his industry, patience, and perseverance, we can with Solomon prophesy that he will take hold with his hands and be in king's pal- aces. On the gridiron we were especi- ally conspicuous, having Green as center and Kemper as one of the star players, on the College team. which so distin- guished itself during the football season: and when the bright spring :lays bring with them the longing for baseball. we are confident that, with Crawford as our representative. we will be able to hold our own on the diamond as well. Time presses onward and the close of the present session is rapidly: approach- ing. Is it possible that we have nearly completed the dreadful Soph. Math, which has loomed up as an irnpassable barrier to further progress? The Binomial Theorem. Choice and Chance, are things of the past and as to Cicero and Xenophon. they will serve to interest the kids. Our advice to them is to remember that many strokes, though with a little axe, hew down and fell the hardest-timber'd oak. HISTORIAN. jfresbman Glass. ..1':.f r. 1' ' -'LQ .fl A '-.- . ff 335.

C., the Gauls came pouring into Rome, so. in the fall of 1898, the Class of 19072 came pouring, a mighty tide. into the contines of Hampden-Sidney. But there was a slight difference between the Gauls' entry into Rome. and our entry into Hampden-Sidney, inas- much as we were greeted with cheers of welcome, by Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors: given a reception by the Young Men's Christian Association, and last, but not least. were entertained by t-he old students every night for at least two weeks. How harshly the tones of the old bell smote on our ears as it aroused us from our slumbers at all hours of the night! How painful are the recollections of the tournaments! How vividly we can picture that famous ghost, parade. the balls and concerts of those two weeks! The days of our first half-session were speeding slowly by. One October morn- ing, we were very much surprised to hear Dr. Mcllwaine read a notice calling a meeting' of the Freshman class. immedi- ately after chapel. This notice had been written by the Sophs., who held a meet- ing at the same hour, and who hoped to rush en nmsxr' upon the unsuspecting Freshmen. and break up their meeting: but,- The best laid schemes o' mice and men Gang aft a-g1ey, ' and the Sophfs scheme proved to be no exception: for when they came down the stairs. they were disappointed. for we had met: had arranged for a meeting three days later. and had gone on our ways. We have made some remarkable dis- eoveries both in the scientiiic and lin- guistic field. Among the must notable are: In mathematics. a, two-sided tri- angle, an isosceles angle. a parallel angle and a four-sidrfl quadrilateralg in Latin. a future mood, a plural of unzls. a future subjunctive and that the nominative of focis is fox. But, notwithstanding this, in the Class of 1902, there are men who bid fair to play well their part on the world's great stage: and who knows, but that some day. they may occupy the highest seats in the temple of Fame? Little more remains to be said. ln a few weeks examinations will be over, and we shall go home. Next' year we will return with the dignified bearing of Sophomores. and give a welcome cheer to the incoming Freshmen: we will ad- vise them in regard to the choice of a literary society. and will tell them of the wonderful little drab-colored book of II- and N'-.

All the consciousness there is in the immediate vicinity is your consciousness of seeing a panorama of divers colors-red, blue, green, purple, orange. golden, brown. yellow, and rosy. But this KALEIDOSCOPE is organic. livery shade in it is one of the hues of our throbbing, many-sided life. Here you will find the rosy hopefulness of youth, the greenness of the Freshman, the blush on the maidenly cheeks of the young ladies, the brownness of brown study, the red badge of courage, the blue hue of loyalty to alma mater and other principles-in short, every color in life with, we hope, one exception. We have tried to keep out yellow. There is enough yellow in metropolitan journalism to justify us in omitting it from the K.-xI.I21noscoPE. Moreover, this KALEIDO- scomz is conscious of you, as well as you of it. And it does not face your gaze with an apology for being kaleidoscopic. lt takes it for granted that that is what you have a right to expect it to be, and it has no excuses to offer for being suchg and as you look into it, the KALE1Dosco1'H looks into you with a charitable chal- lenge of inquiry. If you discern faults here, have you discerned none in yourself? Then read, and learn something of what life is. Vile may teach you a little about it, and a KALIQIDOSCOIJE may prove not only a picture of our varied social life, but a mirror of your own life, with its strength and weakness. its newness and its blase- ness, its good and ill commingled. For life is not built on the plans furnished by any ascetic architect. VVe are normally constituted to laugh, to enjoy, to admire, and to feel many natural kinds of pleasure, also to grow and to develop by facing facts as they are, without fear if we would face them also without reproach. Most of the readers of the KALEIDO- Suomi are familiar with the College Catalogue. That publication is a photograph, or an etching, a black and white picture, in some sort, of the life of the College-on one side, namely, the intellectual. But it is not a complete picture of college life unless a set of text-books, wrapped up in a diploma and tied up with blue ribbon, is the fit model for a complete picture of the student. Here. in the KALEIDO- scorn, is the prospectusg here are the Hesh tints and the blood tints and the bone tints that give you the real portrait of the studentg here are the lights and shadows of his features, the purpose that is set in the muscles of his mouth, the hope or the laughter that gleams or twinkles in his eyes. Here are described and illus- trated especially those phases of our life on the Hill that either escape from the Catalogue, or are barely alluded to in that dignified ofificial manual. Mathe- matically speaking, we show you a section of the sphere of student life made at quite a different angle, but by quite as upright a plane. In fact, if there were nothing for the K-.ALEIDOSCOPE to describe, there would be nothing for the Cata- 130 logue to say. It is the atmosphere of the li.xI.i1l1most't ti-11 that furnishes the intel- lectual oxygen which gives thc student the energy to meet the grim pages of his text-book face to face and say to them, I am going In he your master: no terms but those of unconditional surrender will be accepted. lt is not the fault of thc oxygen if any student fails to make the best possible use of the energy. and refresh- ment, and quick blood circulation which it gives him. Like that which goes to make individual life, so that which promotes social life must consist of elements of varying age and growth. The historical and tradi- tional, the poetic and artistic, all have a right to be represented in the pages of a complete Ii.XLEIl'JOSL'0I'l2. So this number includes contributions from distin- guished gentlemen of the pulpit and classroom, loyal alumni, and accomplished women. VVe wish to acknowledge the helpful co-operation of the Rev. Drs. T. NY. Hooper, XValter XY. Moore, Thomas Cary johnson, Theron H. Rice, and l'. H. Gwinn, and of Messrs. T. vl. Garden, joseph D. Eggleston. jr., Alfred ul. Morrison, H. I. and R. K. Brock, and Asa XVatkins: and the valuable assistance rendered to the art department by Mr. Littleton Fitzgerald, Miss Margaret Houston, Mrs. Pauline Montague. Miss Jennie Tabb, and Mr. Henry A. lVheat. The literary variety of the K.xLEInosco1'i-: is distinctly debtor to Miss Mary A. Stokes, Dr. NY. G. Eggleston, and J. Gray Mc.-Xllister. It is a pleasure to acknowledge the liberality of our publisher, Mr. Stone, whose co-operation has been as gen- erous and sympathetic as if no pecuniary consideration had been involved, One peculiarity of Ii.XLlilllUSC'UI'IiS is that when you have looked into the1n, laid them down, and taken them up again, you are apt to get a different view ofthe contents, XYe venture to hope that the seventh annual issue of this K.xI.IcIDo- SCOPE will be one that our readers can take up again and again with pleasure. finding new attractions and beauties in it as time changes and tastes change with time. And in this hope we greet you, and ask your hand and your eye. QA 1 -1 L...-J U O III o Ft-r'1.c:AA..o. fi ,A sy YE5 Ehe 1bampben:5ibneQ fllbagagine. llbublisbeb llbontblg. Establisbeb, 1858.

It was then that the most conspicuous social event of the season of gaiety took place, in the form of a german given by the stu- dents, in honor of the visiting young ladies and alumni. The sweet music discoursed throughout the evening by the Italian orchestra lent enchantment to the occasion . The chaperones were: Mesdames Brock, Tabb and Harrison. Mr. Harold R. Poindexter, with Miss Grace Symington, led and introduced many beau- tiful and novel figures, the prettiest and most intri- cate being the one forming the letters H. S. C. Those present were: Miss Bessie Dunlap with Mr. J. R. Johnson, Miss Mattie Leigh Cunningham with Mr. T. N. Jones, Miss Frances Peck with Mr. H. W. Cole, Miss Lizzie XVatkins with Mr. E. E.

THE Ro1sTER is essentially a nocturnal creature. We are made fully aware of his presence on the campus at night by repeated shouting, halloing and hailing of his fellows. Qccasionally, too, a sudden burst of song executed in the highest key within reach puts the silent night air into vibration. I happened in on one of these fellows N -, one night some time back-purely by acci- 5 5 dent, you understand, for I don't drink. My ' gr. 5 15. - knock was followed by a great scurrying and 1 Jiiiixg scrambling and as I opened the door in V response to the somewhat tardy invitation ffwffj f , to come in, I saw at once what was up. Jack :L if 'M was standing near the table in his shirt 3. Z Q4-1 yi, sleeves intent upon seeing who his visitor -- v f,f'7v X' ' might be. There were three others present , - ' all looking a little startled. Oh, it is you, , gf is it l cried jack in evident relief.

But you must, cried Jack, I 'll feel hurt if you dont XYhen I still hesitated he seized the bottle and placing it at my lips, declared that I must. You shall, by the Lord you shall. Fellows, lock the door. No friend of mine shall leave my room without taking a drink. The others coming up and 165 taking hold of me I saw the futility of further resistance and promised to comply with their request if they would let me go. They then released me and I lifted the bottle to my lips and took a small sip saying, at the same time, My regards, gentlemen! .lack grumbled that I hadn't taken enough to phase a gnat but appeared better satisfied, He then raised the bottle to his own lips and took a long pull, just to show mc, as he said, how a gentleman ought to drink. After this there followed songs, skirt dances and what not and then they sallied forth to visit their friends, as they said and keep them up until nearly morning. Such is the Roister. He is not a bad fellowg in fact he is a thoroughly good fellow. Generous, frank, warm-hearted, cheerful, ready to do anything for a friend even to taking his coat off his own back, an enemy to no one but himself. lliawxklz of imitations ! This warn- ing no doubt calls for explanation I wish you to beware of the teozzld-bcsfiuri, that ff, embryonic imitative creature more prop- erly called a squirt. As is often the 7 case with commercial articles so it is here, jf' the imitations are more numerous than the genuine sport. The Sport proper is quite a valuable factor about college, impressing the stran- ger, as he does, with the all-'round up-to- dateness of our institution. Ile it is who represents us abroad, and who can do it better? Morally speaking, he is not the most abstemious of men,-he likes his drink and on occasions gets on a bum. Ile is fond of the spotted pasteboards and colored ivory. He bets freely on the ball games against heavy odds-for the credit of his alma mater, he says. He is more or less profane but is not so prodigal with THE WOULD-BE SPORT- his oaths as his imitators who think it necessary to preface each statement with a discharge of brimstone. The college sport is decidedly partial to dress and at times is becomingly arrayed. The Sport is not.perhaps,a person to be admired but there is a daring, a reck- lessness, a dash about him that arrests our attention and fascinates even if it does not call forth our approval, and with all his faults the true sport is a gentleman- at least if our forefathers were, for his offenses are largely the same as were theirs. But from the would-be sport, and lo, there are many, may the good Lord deliver us. 166 f c,fi .g-,,, ii p glill5:l.21iViSl . i fi'-'Y V. ' - A .fi ll x Nl it f , f f M f - 93 . . .

He holds himself aloof from the common herd and only frater- nizes with those who like himself are blessed with intellectual qualities and are ip p l gi of a literary bent. 1 S .

In fact he is a regular patron of the athletic Held-that is as a spectator-but he does not give way to the wild enthusiasm of his less cultivated companions.

He wears an air of deep piety and sombre garments. His smile, when he does smile, is one of superiority and condescension. He has the pharisaical bearing to perfection. At the same time he will be found to be guilty of many things of a dishonorable nature, such as his fellow students, professedly bad though they be, would never stoop to. At certain seasons he becomes fired with a religious frenzy which causes him to attempt to convert his ungodly companions by wholesale and when he finds one who can not be convinced by his arguments he rises in his wrath and disap- pointment and seeks to bear down his opponent by pronouncing his damnation tum? fl :J QI l l. , Wiwf l l I , ...4..z.,..

The Hypocrite is not a dissipated man nor is he often pro- fane. but he is a liar as his name implies. Such characters as these would do great harm but for the fact that they are of such a class of men that their example either for good or bad is not apt to have any effect except to arouse every honest man's disgust. IT is difficult to reduce the calico man to a general type. At Hampden- Sidney those who manifest a fondness for ladies' society comprise such a hetero- geneous crowd, representing every ele- ment of the student body, that there is little by which the calico man may be characterized. There is the Literary Man, the burly Athlete, the Sport sometimes, the Roister occasionally, and even the Toiler once in a while: in fact every type is represented. Not that the passion for ladies' society is rampant, for I do not even mean to say that nearly all go in for calico, on the contrary those who are much given to the pastime are comparatively few, but as each element contributes its quota, it is impossible to find much in common among such diversified characters. Very possibly the gentlemen most addicted to the habit are the Literary and Y. M. C. A. element-they furnish the largest contingent-the editor with his cynical smile and the brother with his sombre garb and unfailing white tie. All classes go in their best-the Athlete, it is true, will sometimes venture out in his golf paraphernalia, but even he is wont to array himself with great care to his greater discomfort. The Sport goes rarely. He finds it a tame amusement and 168 when he does go he is gotten up with faultless style and stands unapproachable in his elegance. Un festive occasions. generally, he shines forth with a splendor and luster that none of his companions can attain. The Toiler pays about two visits during the year, sits up and smiles at all that is said but rarely venturing a remark, yet he afterwards declares that he has had a splendid time and wishes he had more time to devote to such pleasures. The Roister is the misogynist of college or at least professes to be and certain it is that he has a greater love than that for girls and it isn't self-love either. XYITH 'rniz Toiler I am only slightly acquainted. but in this respect I am not more unfortunate than others, for the Toiler is something of a terrapin and rarely comes out of his studious shell. Of course I know him when I see him, for who does not recognize him at once by his bleary looks and careworn absent air. XXX' read midnight oil in every line of his face, and the face of theToiler has many. Little interest does the Toiler manifest 1 X in college affairs and from this and his , V .

Not so strange as at carrying out my propensity for loaf- first appears-I was simply and consistently ing and happened in on the Toiler. Had I been sensitive it is likely I should have taken offense at my welcome, which had but little cordiality in it. The Toiler was bending over his table laboriously conning some lesson. He smiled at me faintly and asked me to take a seat, but all in such a melancholy, listless way that one would be more than apt to feel that he was in the wrong berth. I took no notice of it, however, and began to talk at once. By a mighty effort on my part I extracted a couple of fairly hearty laughs from him but as the after effects seemed rather painful to him I shortly withdrew and since then have seen little of the Toiler except to meet him now and then on his solitary walks. 169 THE iXTHLETE is of necessity an important element in college life and that he is fully alive to his importance is strongly in evidence. XVith shirts of any kind he is a comparative stranger, but with a stiff bosom white shirt he can scarcely even be said to be acquainted and if perchance he should come closely in contact with one he would be visibly discomforted. He is something of a philosopher, supply- ing all needs with his garnet sweater, instead of the philosopher's blanket. Pull- ing this on in the morning, he is ready to appear in all companies. NVith the broad sailor collar turned down over his coat, no other neckwear is needed and in fact a tie would be regarded as superfiuous. His golf trousers something the worse for wear, his tan shoes showing an appalling ignorance of the uses of polish, and a much battered and stained gray fedora complete his get up.

VVe all know his appearance with this suit of mail which if not proof against his opponents. keeps all others at a respectable distance. Notwithstanding the fact that the above is a true and conscientious des- cription of the college athlete, he is the darling of the ladies, their hero, and many a pair of pretty hands are withdrawn from their snug resting places QI mean muffs, of course,j to cheer him on to victory with their inspiring clapping and many a sweet voice becomes for the time being wildly shrill, thereby announcing to him that she sees him and feels immensely proud. After a successful contest, he is moreover the hero of the whole college and we seek to do him honor. He is loaded down with praises and cigars, and a case of swell head is not infrequently the outcome. 170 fft 4, .f -,ef f ig.-S E353 9'f ' t'21? 3, . ,tm , -in ' 1v4f :--'-iff P l t 7 i El lyric of the Genturp.

The Blue and Gray were marshalled In bat,tle's stern array- ' Those on the heights of Staford, These on the Hill Marye. Ah! well they knew each other, They had felt each other's blows, Yeti neither feared the conflict, Nor either dreamed of woes. Thus all day long they mustered, Bright banners floating high, VVhile flashed their polished muskets Like meteors in the sky. Thus grandly proud they gathered VVith bearing calm. serene. VVhile gleamed the river brightly-' A streak of light between. Then darkness fell upon them, And shadows like a pall In sable robes of mourning lVrapped hill and vale and all. But hark! the booming cannon Breaks in with sudden roar, And deep the deafening echoes Resound from shore to shore. A signal gun! the soldiers cry. The foe, they come! they come! And quick there rolls the loud reply Of deep resounding drum. Forward! and hundred tong Those lines so blue, with human might Would cross that stream so wide, Though thousands know their hearts' best blood Must mingle with the tide. Along the southern shore is formed The Blue in phalanx free, While on the Hill Marye are seen The men who stood with Lee. But Nature for a, time appeared Their purpose to resist, And o'er the mustering host she flung A veil of silvery mist. But soon the sun its rights proclaimed And rolled the mist away And flashed its brightest rays upon The Blue in grand array. Then glowed a scene which thrilled the And filed the heart with pride. The grandest host had gathered there In all the world so wide. i Forward! fThe order shook the plain, Forward! the ringing cry, 'L We win. the recreant die! Eehoed the earth with thunders riven. The cannon roared with ire. And screaming shell and iron hail VVith fury poured their fire. 180 I18I'Ve ues repeat, But daunttless stood the line of Gray. No recreant there is found. Baptized in blood they met the foe Now charging o'er the ground. On. on they charge, that line of Blue. A wave of angry might, Staining the ground with Southern blood Driving the Gray in flight. The crest is gained, the heights are taken. And wave their banners high, The victory now in easy grasp If promised help were nigh. But oh! that, reckless, headlong charge Gaps in their lines had made. And now all breathless, panting, broken They saw no hope of aid. Then rose the second line of Gray With wild and frightful yell, And on the broken line of Blue In awful fury fell. Back down the hill the Blue is swept. The field is piled with dead. Deep wounds in every dreadful blow Where flames the battle red. The charge had failed. and now the ground ls soaked with human gore. Where flashed the sun o'er smiling fields .Tust one short hour before. But here the struggle could not end. Duty they must perform. Though bloodier be the sacrice. More dread the coming storm. Three times the vain essay was tried Upon that field so gory. And three times did the sequel tell The selfsame bloody story. Be not. the blame on valor laid In the rank and file of Blue. For ne'er in all the tide of time Fought. men more brave or true. 181 The day was done, the battle lost! The sun went- down in glory, Hut. never did his lingering rays Fall on a field so gory. The pale moon climbed the cloudless east And her nightly vigil kept, Where, on that. bloody battle-field, Ten thousand dead men slept. And there the ghostly, upturned face With sightless, glazed eye Appeared to mock the pallid stars, That watched them from on high. Words of the Ancient Mariner Arose with terror cold. And thoughts of fright did fill the night Of the dead once brave and bold. An orphan's curse may drag to hell An angel from on high, But oh! more terrible than that Is the curse of a dead man's eye. Slowly the long night dragged away, Ere light set up its reign. But ere the sunbeams kissed the hills The battle burst again. From Stafford Heights the cannon roared YVith hoarse and bellowing sound. And shrieking shells in furious storm Swept all the valley round. But 'midst that roaring cannonade A cry comes from the plain. The Federal wounded lying there Wottld mercy ask in vain. Help! oh help! the piteous ery. From a hundred tongues it rang, And the faint and feeble voices told Of wound and dying pang. But who could breast that iron hail? Who aid could bear and live? Though many in that line of Gray The needed help would give. That, cry of pain like piercing darts The men of Gray did tear. From face to face they looked to see If any man would dare. Then 'midst the din, another cry That. stilled the pulse with cold And struck the heart of the soldier l With a horror yet untold. lVaterZ water! oh God. it rang, I ask not life nor quarter. But, oh! for love of Jesus Christ Give but om' drop of water. Then up sprang one, a stripling boy And bounded OQQI' the wall. Unheeded were the raging storm And deadly cannon ball. lVith all his might he sped away. His canteen borne on high. As though invoking aid from God-f Protection from the sky. JFIIVQ Around him swift flew shot and shell In batttIe's furious storm, But angel's wings had sheltered him. He gains the prostrate form. He lifts the dying soldier's head- A soldier dressed in blue. Take this, he cried, God help you now, Then back to shelter flew. The deed is done. the noblest deed Of patriotic glory. May it echo through the vaults of time, He told in classic story. And when this cruel war shall end And the soldiers gather round To tell of deeds of valor done On the bloody battle-ground, The Blue and the Gray, as brothers. may Mingle their silent, tears When they speak of this. the noblest deed Uf all these bloody years. s 1Rien 1R'e9t llberbu. Exists there nothing to be lost. And death comes not to those who live, The change that melts the wintry frost. To us eternal glory give. The star that wanders from its course. And falling, falls upon our earth, Is never lost. but changed perforce, From death into another birth. The rainbow in the summer sky, Its beauty oft does cast around. 'T was never made to fade or die. But. changing, falleth to the ground. The dewdrop on the blade of grass XYhile twinkling forth its tiny ray, Does live, does change and softly pass. From water into mist away. 182 J. Y. RYALS ilauncheb. REMEMBER the text of the baccalaureate sermon, and even some of the points touched upon by the venerable preacher, but I recall these things in the same way as I recall snatches of Gildersleeve's Grammar, of Chemistry, or of Psychology. You know how you feel in the recitation-room. You are there and have to follow. in a way, what goes on, and be able to remember what the book says when you are called on, but that is about all. It is much the same with sermons, except that you don't have to recite on sermons, and so can omit cram- ming up the heads. That was the way it was with the baccalaureate sermon, and in truth I can not say that I was much stirred by any part of the commencement exercises, or that I had a sense of the great signihcance of the occasion dwelt upon by several of the speakers. I didn't feel sad. I didn't feel ambitious, I didn't feel desperate. I just didn't feel. IYhen people said that the speeches were good. and that it was a fine commencement, I said that I thought so toog when they criticised, I agreed with them. XYhen Wednesday morning came and I had to make a speech myself I was certainly a little wrought up lest I should forget my oration on Civil Ser- vice Reform, but when my turn came I got through all right, and had sent me a good many Howers. The orator of the day spoke on The Need and Oppor- tunity for College-trained Men in Public Life. He made a fiery address but I didn't exactly catch his drift. After the exercises this gentleman shook me warmly by the hand and said that he was glad to see I had the right principles, and a member of the faculty, who was standing by, put in that I had made a good mark on Political Economy. VVith my diploma in my inside pocket I went to dinner and after it chatted for a good while with the girls staying in the house. They got me to read my diploma to them and when one of them corrected me in a translation or two. I said I had dropped Latin at the end of my junior year, and was a little rusty in that study. One of these girls had a friend at Bryn Mawr, who, she said, was a famous Latin scholar, and able to read Horace like English. I took one of these girls to the celebration that night and on the way the talk somehow got on books. I asked her if she had read many of the Albatross novels. She said no: that most of her 183 reading was confined to a course in literature, which her teacher had suggested to her. The Senior celebration was very good and everybody laughed a great deal. It was got up mainly by Tom Smiley. and Tom read a long rigmarole of which I remember this part, which he called El llbarabigm. EDUCO: EDUCAVI: I am an educator. Many have I educated, I am a graduator, Many have I graduated 3 I am an honorable Many even elevated, Member of a fat--ul-ty 9 From out non-lettered clahss-es 5 And 'tis my function, Now behold their intiuenceg With ex-treme unction, Contemplate their prominence 5 To make young gentlemen And then draw your inference Prom-i-nent al-um-ni.

A much resembling knowledge. After the celebration those who could dance did so, and the others sat about in the society halls or paced the long walks. I can't dance and wasn't in love, but I had a pretty good time nevertheless, and was really sorry to have to tell so many friends, old and new, goodbye when it was time for the girls to go home and so put an end to the proceedings. But I didn't feel depressed at severing these ties, and I am sure that I said almost the same thing to everybody. VVith the girls I got along somehow, grinning and trying to be pleasantg with the boys it was, W'ell, old man, the jig 's about up. XYhat are you going to do next year? Teach? NVell, good luck. Take care of yourself and write to me sometimes. Tom Smiley and I had arranged to leave for Farmville in a buggy at half past two o'clock. But when I went to look up Tom, after taking off my good clothes and packing my valise. I found him in no condition for traveling. In company with two or three others, he was making a speech to a picture on the wall. His face was Hushed : his eyes were big and wild 1 and his dress clothes were terribly mussed up. I helped to put him to bed: saw that he was well covered ' 184 up: placed a pitcher of water near at hand: and then went down stairs to counter- mand our order for the buggy and engage a seat in a hack. It was a clear moonless night, and so still that as I walked up and down in front of the college, I thought that this must be the quietest place on earth. A lamp or two was still burning along the walk, and lighting a pipe, I began an easy stroll into the darkness about Memorial Hall, back again to the flickering illumination in front of the college. on beyond to the deep shadows under the trees, and then over the same course again. In this way I spent the half hour until the hack was to leave. I could not help thinking a little and reflecting upon what I had done in this place I was quitting. but I didn't think at all connectedly. I don't believe any- body thinks in words and sentences except people who write books. Pictures came before my eyes, and past feelings, but is that thinking? I remembered how I felt as a Sophomore at commencement: what tunes the band played: what a queer feeling it gave me to hear my name read out for dis- tinctions on Bible and English : the plans I made for studying during the summer: what a brilliant collection of girls I thought the visitors were: how ashamed I was at getting stuck on the promenade: and-and that after that commencement I never saw again the best friend I ever had. I suppose I had got used to things by my junior year, for I didn't recall muclz about that session or commencement except that I was mighty scared when I har' to speak in the chapel, and that I was made very sick by some beer that I drank in Tom Smileys room the night of my society's celebration. During my junior year. it was that I caught on pretty well how to get up things for examination, and I managed, in consequence, to come off with a good many distinctions. And now here I was at the end of my Senior year. Graduated not with an honor, but pretty near one, they told me. I had my father's letter in my pocket, which said that my mother and he were proud of me and encouraged to think that I had begun life so well : that the best training for any activity in life. was just this which I had finished-i. r., faithful performance of duty at an institution of learn- ing justly famous for piety, scholarship, etc.: that now my future lay fair before me and he had confidence in my ability and determination to work out with credit my own destiny. The old man put up quite a curl and sent me fifty dollars for commencement expenses. saying that business had been pretty lively and he didn't want me to feel pinched at such a time. His letter scared me a little. So at last I had to do for myself. But what was I to do? In my Sophomore year I joined the Y. M. C. A. and had some vague notion of going to the seminary. I continued a member of the Y. M. C. A., but 185 during the past two years the president had several times taken me to task for not being a more active worker. I could teach school for a year or two anyhow, and I should certainly get a good place. I thought, for now I had finished my studies, was an A. B., B. S., and had flattering testimonials from the faculty. But thenl All aboard! sung out the hackman. I knocked out my pipe. climbed to a place on the front seat, and out into the night we went. Jog 'cm up, John, said I. John jogged 'em up, and soon I was keeping time to the trot of the horses with the familiar words: Cras amet qui nunquamavit-Cras amet qui nunqua- mavitf' And presently I was asleep. -'Nels gi' uf?

It was a dream-indeed it must, have been, And yet so real, I could have sworn I saw That face in waking thought, and heard that voice, So heavenly sweet the music seemed. I touched that hand. It thrilled my heart. and filled My being with emotion wild and deep. A light flashed on my weary soul, and doubt And darkness left me. Alone, alone, all all alone. I stood upon a desert wild, A barren, boundless sea of sand. I saw no star of hope, no beacon-light. Saw no budding flower, no water sweet. Saw no ripening fruit, no pleasing prospect, But only saw a shoreless sea of sand. Hope there was none, no rest. nor any peace, Happiness gone. and joy forever fied. Thus I stood and gazed and gazed And longing gazed upon that bleaching sand. That, blazing blistering sky: 'Longing for the night to end the day. Longing for the day to end the darkness, Longing for the life that would be living, Longing for the death that would be dying, Longing for the sleep that would be sleeping, Longing for the hope that would be hoping, And faith that would be true believing. But oh! the day seemed never ended. And the dark still darker deepened 192 Till reason reeled in mystic mazes, And the doubt more doubtful grew. Long I stood and long I pondered, Pondered on my life unhappy, Tried to hope, tried to reason, Tried to watch, tried to pray, Tried to pray for light and life, Tried to pray for faith and fervor, Tried to pray for faith to save me From the pains of deathless death Which the wicked soul rnust suffer In the haunts of endless hell, Tried to pray for heaven's favor To bless me with true faith in God, Praying Him, Oh, grant me mercy! Mercy on my sickening soul, Mercy on my wounded life, Mercy on my broken heart-, Mercy on my spirit, drooping 'Neath a load it can not bear, Mercy on my dreadful suffering, Anguish deep. and dark despair, Help! I cried, Oh, God! forgive me For the sins I do confess, For the errors and the follies Which have marked my wounded life I do pray for help to bear The heavy burthen on me laid, Pray for faith to go and meet And lay my cross at Jesus' feet. llut the shadows thicker gathered, Darker rolled the shades of night, Night that had no star to guide ine 0'er that sandy, shoreless sea. Deeper deepened doubt and darkness, Darkness blacker than the night: Doubt which led me in a circle Round and round, perplexed in thoughtg Till my reason seemed to stagger In that IDZIZY, mystic walk. Till my soul far lost. with winding 'Through the labyrinthian way Ileeled and rocked, rolled and foundered ln that sea of skeptic thought. Thus bewildered long I lay, FHth0l1lS deep in dark despair, Every earthly prospect blighted, Hlasted every hope of joy, Fixed in my breast an aching void- Void that time would never fill. Deep in my heart. a racking pain- Pain that kills but never dies, Deep in my soul an endless yearning For rest and peace beyond the skies. Thus in darkness and despair, Thus in sin and thus in sorrow, Thus in anguish and in pain. Deep in that sea of skeptic thought. Long I lay. long I struggled, Hoping 'gainst hope's black refusal. Dying ever, yet not dead. When lo! I saw a shining circle Like a halo in the sky. And from out that shining circle, With an angel's pitying eye, Came there one of xnatchless beauty, Came and stood and looked on me, Looked with pity's tender glances, Tender with true sympathy. For she saw my soul was chained With a chain I could not break: On my heart she saw the burthen, Burthen that I could not bear, Saw and pitied with that pity VVhich the good alone can share. Then I saw her face grow brighter At the thought of grace divine. Then I heard a sweet voice pleading Mercy's plea at n1ercy's shrine. Only mercy, merit never. Mercy all, and nothing more. Louder then the voice resounded Till it reached the heavenly shore. First a whisper. then an anthem. Music sweet as seraphs' song. Mercy. mercy. Lord! the prayer. Mercy rose the swelling song. Then the vision bright grew brighter Brighter than the brightest day. In the dazzling light, it vanished. Seemed to rise and float away. Now the star of hope is shining.

The rhythmic lap. lap of the riser 1111 the banks of its rock-studded shore. And the musk-laden breeze that has whispered Sweet, secrets to lovers of yore. All bow to the charm of her spirit, And the blending beauties meet. While the white rose nods in silence At the touch of her dainty feet. Chg lhame. lf all the stars were counted in the sky T 'd read it. read it all the live-long night, And lettered,v0ne by onee And dream of it asleep, A single name would hlazen from on high- And if. perchance. it should elude my sight, As mid-day sun! Its mem'ry keep. And though my bones shall fertilize the earth To sprout an elder-tree. My soul should sing from her immortal birth- I love but thee. 194 .QMS Y K' E X ll all lol , . .
