MTKHAHY MM IKTIKN' DAY. YelerUy l Ihel'alversltr-Ais M rai Aiareii eteiwre mm ftof-lrlire-a Kv.l'ttlaai la Ihe treating. Tuesday was tbe dsy set apart for the Literary Societies. Tbey tre in a prosper ous oon lition and yesterday was a fitting culmination to tbe work of tbe past year, A good audience was present when the ex ere ites began at S P. M. The following was Ihe programme ot the afternoon. Music Orchestra. Prayer-Rev. D. A. Walters. Iuttranieutu) Duett-Misses Straight aod Shelton. Address before tbe Societies Alfred Summer, D. D. Solo Mrs West. Benediction Rev. D. A. Walters. Rev. Kummer chose for bis address, "Whet la Man?" The following is a brief synopsis of tbe addreat: Even the body with all itt intricate and dilioate machinery, challenges our admira tion. The body it not the mind; it it tbe organ, bat not the organist; tbe harp of a thousand strings bat not the harper. Definitions tnd Illustrations were then given of men's intellectual faculties, per ception, memory, imagination, reason and the will. Man la a spirit. While be does not, like bis Creator, poeseee omnipotence and om nieienoe, yet he baa power aud knowledge and limitless expsnsibility. Nothing sweeter tbsn lbs consciousness of power "my hand made that; this ia tbe creature of my brain; Island with my heel on my temptation," nothing it more gratifying, Again to piok op tbe thining strands of knowledge, aud follow them through cycles aod systems until they bring ns beyond our powers; every strand of truth, if fol lowed far enough, will bring yoa face to face with Ood. What a man is may be inferred from bis achievements. Stand under the dome of St. Peters; on Brooklyn bridgo; on Che ops; by Bartholdi's statue; study tbe works of Raphael, Da Vinol, Michael Angelo; lis- ten to the snswer to Literature, to Mnaic and to poetry; go to a moral battlefield, aee mau's victory over his most dreaded and dreadful temptations. Man becomes greater und better bo he conies nearer to God. There is but one Ileaaon, but one Witxloin, but one true Will, to find it all, as Emerson says, to live in the midst of it, to have our reason, our wisdom, our will to be drops out of the eternal fountuin, that it is to be great. Man was, then, Anally considered in his possibilities. He needs time for the expansion of his faculties, more time than is given in life. Content plate Isaac Newton as a bube and at fifty, if so much progress can bo made in fifty yeurs, whnt may be mun's de velopment in cycles and ages of time? He will, as Foster says, become more and more like the unpieturublc pattern of infinite perfection; loving with an ever-deepening love ; glowing with an 'ever-increasing fervor; rejoicing in ever- advancing knowledge; living on and on when stars grow dim with age. It was an eloquent address and the speak er met with a hearty applause and received tbe congratulations of many. THK IVtMIKa " The darkening clouds were not a sufficient reason to keep back the orowds that surged toward the University last evening.

Doubtful iluiost despairing, thoughts with out number pass thiougn bis niiud, brood inn in fitful slumber. Uneasy rat his situation. In bis troubled dreams. A ladder appears, one end upon the earth is rested. Among the clouds above, the top is lost it seems. Upon the rounds which tbe side pelces connected, wnite ronea nguree are aeceuu- ing, Wiuged messengers are descending, While gazing in wonder on Ihe soeue, A voice issues from the end unseen: 'Behold, fear not, lo I am with the; And iu all Dlaoee will I keep tbee; Whither thou coestl will not leave tbee. Until I have done that of which I have spoken to luxe." Awakeued by this vision splendid, nis heart with awe aud revereuoe blended, Jacob eiclaimed! "none other is this than the house of Jehovah, and to heaven is the entrance thereof. With what greater joy could his heart have been filled. Than the aasurauoe to him wandering An exile from bis couutry o'er wastes toll tary and wild, doubtful of wtiut tbe mortow would brius. That the ideal of bis fathers aud his ideal was with him. And from all dancers and in all places would shield bini. In the representation of this dieam. To ns is unfolded life's scheme. A lsdder having touch with the ground, Its extreme end lost in tbe skies beyond It is permitted us to see only tbe lower round rising but a snort aisutnoe iron) the ground. Were it possible for us to traco, Tbe chain of cause and effect to its starting plaoe. We should see it ascend round by rouud, Slowly rUiiif far above tbe ground. Until in tbe proper cause of all things, It bad its flual termination, In that which directs all tbiugs, From oreation to cousuuimatiou. On this ladder is tbe human race, Ita iWiinv workini out Daoe bv pace. At tbe lower rouud brgiuuiug, round by round attaiuing. Starting its ideal, that which it would ut tuln to. novered over it ascending from the ground. But as withdraws from tbe sun the morn- inn dew. So withdraws its ldt-nl when tho race reach es a hiuher rouud. Thus it will continue until perfection is at tained. Each generation succeeding to the round its predecessor gained. There is no descending or standing still. The present cannot bo the pat e'eu though it will, Hut must bolillv into the future CO. Our generation looks down from its round, To where Jacob lay below On the cold and barren ground. And in like proportion does our ideal atnnd On a round above him who extended Jacob a heluins hand. For is it not now given ns to do, Do ye onto others as ye'would they do nnto von." In this lsdder, goldon, three rounds there are, bhinlug with a light not kindled to die. But as over Bethlehem shone that fateful etjir. Thev shine. Fsith. Hope and Charity. Jacob knew hie Lord and trusted Him, Donbt aud despair vanished from witbln bim, And in charity he cousecrated the stone On which bis bead bad pillowed forlorn. Of these rounds especial, tho greatest it charity. Our faith it lost in sight, our hope ends in fruition, But obarily endures throughout the bouud less realms ot eternity. Charity begins with faith, (Jontinues in bope, and in woiks auaius its mission. The clouds that bid the ladder in Jacob t dream. At t far greater height now are to be seen. And they will still further rotreat From tbe generation closely pressing onr fM)t. Thus round by round will man this ladder ascend. Following closely in pursuit of bis retreat- Till to that round will bis pursuit extend, When faith and bop end, and tbe loeai oe- The clouds of ignorance, superstition and error Will liftand at tbe end of Ibe ladder We will behold Truth titling in kingly atste. Grettest of til things tmong tbe great. Here is one long purso- d ideal overtaken. Uitbero as we weie guided by differing light, So differed in non-essentials the ideal of our oreatine. Now each attribute abtnet forth in reflec tion bright. Twai not tbst tbe ideal created man In bis own imase. But it that man creates bis ideal in man l own imaoe. Tbe end of the ladder now attained all are avreed From hence all wisdom, all love and all truth proceed. The PrUeMrinssers. Several years sinos Hon.
