OIOROX W. Dl'XX,
Chose for the theme of his oration, "Reform,
Our National Safeguard." The state like the
human body, U constantly undergoing changes.
The great arteries of education, legislation,
commerce and religion are oonst intly at work,
in varying dtFreeS, tearing down, building lip
and carrying away the effete particles. The
rules for the government of the bodily organism
are comparatively few ami simple, but the
various tendencies, the multifarious and con
flicting opinions, the difference of rsoe, educa
tion and morn's, anil the constantly changing
desires of individuals who ooinihwe the Stave,
all contribute to make the pimciples of good
government very complex aud necesnitnte con
ntniit ami radical changes in the application of
these principles. It Is niteft UitllruU to sited
these changes, Changes are necessary. They
are inevitable. 'I'hey may. be neferred for a
time, but the longer they are deferred the
greater will be the violence with which they
take plac. " irulv cliarures are tneoniy sate-
gusrds of a State. Changes are Drought
alHiut in two wavs by reformation and bv
revolution. The sneaker gave a careful review
of the Protestant reformation, and its effects in
Wrrinuny, Spain, France and England. The
Umted .States of America is the legitimate
child of reform, from the birth of this nation
nur legislators and statesmen have ever been
vi ,'iliiiit of the rights nf the iwople, and have
chicked growing evils in their iucipienoy by
timely reforms. And what reform can do for a
ui.tion, we have as a monument the United
.States of to-day. In a country where the
people are the sovereigns much of the legisla
tion is the direct or indirect consequence of
reform movements. 'Hie two great political
parties into which our government is divided
are a national blessing rather than a misfor
tune. Each party is ready to take up ami
incorporate ss a part of its platform any reform
movement widen it sees the people, In a
measure are ready to accept. Are w not then
justltl.id in sayliu, Reform is our national
safeguard? May we live to see the day when
education in iy supercede agitation, and reform
may be ocknowlod eil as nur national Sate

precious watchword, education! education I!

Chose as the subject of her essay, "Labor."
Kvery thing 'that Is useful or beiutiful in
science or art has nueu attained by labor.
Ail the grand troths that hnvo brought the
greatest blessings to lialik ind have been earned
by patient industry. The parent earth Is a
workshop. Kverywhcre in nature man finds
inducements to lalnft. Work, wm U is the
unchanging inscription we find everywhere
i'e Unit nature hersuli in a m-asehmi state of
aciivilyt livers, n'oua.is, winds, all the great
forces Ml the Universe are at Work, each per
forming its apuointod task in the Inbr.itory
of nature. Nothing Is so small that It tins
not i I mission to fulfill. Nature Is but the
result of the combination nf l.er smallest
elements. "All are hut parts of one stupen
dous whole." Labor, snys MuCullougii, is
the talisman that has raised mail In on the
c litioii nf the savage. It is the founda
tion of all prosp-rity and wealth, It is
absolutely essential t a civilian! and happy
people, Its achievements are found in every
land ami every climate. Its reward glad
dens the heait nf every worker. Man's
education, both moral ami intellectual de
pends principally upon himself) he alone can
do the work) carve 'out his course. The
noblest thing in the world is honest labor.
Labor gives Coil rage to the heart and
employment to the hand. It develops the
latent forces of mind, aim moulds the
diameter. They who do not labor, know
not the beauty aud enjoyment nf life.
Idleness is to the character as rust is to the
iron: it eats away the Useful and noble qual
ities aud filially destroys the whole fabric.
A noble purpose should be the animating
spirit nf every life. The world is full nf
work and in this every one has a part. By
labor the highest summits nf success uiny be
reached. The way is open to all. By elfort
the goal may bo won.

Selected for subject of her essay, "Hew to the

In n atural suiertcs, In civilization and In all the

is truth, was om-ii to all. In their ignorance
they persecuted some of the noblest spirits of
the race. For a long time ignorance and tyr

Chose as tile theme of bis Oration, "Radicalism
versus Conservatism." This object of this
oration ft to show that Individuality nf thought
Is a necessary elelitent in national progress.
In coiiHrmatinn of this proposition illustrations
were adduced front the histories of England,
France and Mpaln, by which it was shown that
just in proportion as the tyranny nf authority
over the human mind In each of these countries
was destroyed, just Iu that proportion did
civilisation advance, The following will serve
to show the general t 'ne and style of the pro
dilution : The radical is the man of individual
Ity the man of queries, bo many of the
opinion of the past as are consonant with the
dictates ol Ills reason anil ins conscience ne
reneives. Such as ar not. he rejects, II
believes in submitting to th guidance of his
reason. He believes that, tindei his own hat
he holds a tribunal mr solemn and august
than was ever convened by priest or king and
that he should submit every opinion, however
new or ol I, however loved or despised, to be
tried at that Impartial bar and to Im tried
scoordlng to the evidence and the law and
that beyond the deoi ions nf that high court
there can b for him no nmieal, no escape. The
volu of the past, simply because it is the post,
has no weight With him. He is not oyerawed
with the authority of antiquity. He believes
that mankind ark advancing ; that the men of
to-day are wiser than ths men if yesterday,
and that the men of to-morrnw will surpass
the men of to-duv, and that the remote future
will outshine the remote past, even H the un
In his meridian glow outshines tiie gray dawn
of morning. As a prelude to
all bis great reforms, he has taught to mankind
hi own grand doetrfne nf industrial intelli
gence; he has told them that they must think
