THE GRADUATION The Exercises at the Closing of the Anaheim School. Kroeger's Hall was filled to overflowing on Friday evening of last week on the occasion of the exercises which marked the closing of the Anaheim Public School and the graduation of three young lady pupils. The programme was of more than usual interest and the essays of more than usual excellence. The exercises began with the recitation of "The Wreck of the Hexperides" by little jennie Arthur, who claimed this most difficult composition in such a creditable manner as to win thunders of applause and a multitude of approving comments. Interspersed between the readings of the essays were songs by the pupils and by Professor Packard, who has a happy faculty of singing the right thing at the right place. Sickness presented Mr. Stephenson from delivering the expected address, and at the last moment Theo Lyall Eqq was called upon to take his place. His address was the most happy and felicitous effort that would well be imagined and was most warmly received. Mr. Moore, Principal of the School, delivered the diplomas to the graduates, prefacing the ceremony with a few well chosen words. After the exercises were concluded the young people and some of the old people too lauded right heartily until long after midnight. The essays read by the graduates are here given. HOME BY ESTELLA COWAN this inscription: "Thus far shall thou come and no farther." How strange, how mysterious, how incomprehensible! Truly it is said an impenetrable veil hides its nature, that life itself is easily discerned. Separating the organic from the inorganic world it itself divided into two great kingdoms, which, though widely different in their highest development, are barely to be distinguished in the lower forms. Its two necessary agents—air and water—teem with myriads of living creatures from the largest to the smallest. The earth is covered with a beautiful carpet of verdure, the valleys lovingly shelter the delicate flower, and the bleak mountain tops bear the sturdy pine. Clouds gather moisture for them and the sun soils down his beams of light and heat to support this subtle, mysterious agent called life. No force, however great, can create it; and anyhow small, may destroy it. It abounds everywhere, in the solitary format and the vast open, as well as in the populated country and crowded city. Even the trackless desert has felt the tread of marching armies and done its utmost to destroy the life that dares invade its arid wastes, ravery invention of man speaks its power over inanimate matter; but all these, wonderful as they are, would be useless without the life that created them. The great and essential condition of human life is action. Action increasing progressive and aggressive. There is no pleasure or intolerance and ease for the ages bear as on to the higher sphere of usefulness. The work of today is the stepping stone of the work of tomorrow. In the past those who have been most useful have been most virtuous over right and truth. All persons are not willing to judge themselves by the same rule that they do their fellowmen. On the contrary, we meet with those who most unmercifully and maliciously pull to pieces, as it were, the character, the lives and motives of their neighbors and acquaintances; but they are morbally sensitive regarding any liberty which others take in speaking of themselves. They are entirely blind to their own defects and faults, and claim of the world the highest consideration, and the interpretation of only the best and most generous motives. To a person of right and honest principles to see such injustice shown to his fellowmen is very irritating. Storms of indignation will at times go over him at the faithlessness of others. He can not help patying those who having little knowledge of the wipings and cross-purposes of human nature, are sometimes startlingly deceased in those whom they have trusted. It requires a great amount of patience to practice for bearance at such times, and also to know that such is the way of the world, and that he has to take the world as he finds it. Among the trials of life, we are often sailed by vexious circumstances, hornet-like occasions; that sting us, and swarms of buzzing tractors and bumble-like disturbances that come and stay, droning their monotonous noise until our feelings are awrought upon that we are ready to stirk from nervousness. Then it is that patience comes to the rescue, and we contemplate with calmness with equanimity, and it may be with good nature, semi humorous indifference, what had almost overturned the stability of our resolutions. Patient has its varied expressions as do HOME BY ESTELLA COWAN How many a person is found without money or wealth, but how low without a home? The most minute insects have their homes the birds their nests, the beasts their larvae; and so it appears that everything that has life has some place in which it must find shelter or repose. This to each is a home. The ant as we all know, lives in the ground. To this seems like a rude place of shade, but it is home to the ant nevertheless, and it is happy. The wandering Nymph, who has no other home than his tent, is happy in moving about from place to place and carrying his home with him. But the civilized man longs for some permanent spot, however humble, sacredly guarded from the outer world, where he may gather his family around him and enjoy all the pleasures of a happy home. As the need of home is so inherent in our nature and so important to our welfare it becomes the duty of all to see to its establishment and perpetuation. Home should be the happiest spot on earth for it is the savored ruins of our lives, and the only place where we may all its comforts and blessings. What is more pleasing that a happy home with beautiful surroundings? At home our factions are corrected our virtues stimulated, and our tasks made easy. What you are at home is what you really are. It you are good and polite in your own home you will surely be so in the homes of others. For the manners formed at home, whether for good or foresaid, with a few exceptions, list through the whole life. A cheerful heart and lively disposition promote the happiness of home, while unkindness at home manifests itself more or less when abroad. Home should be made so delightful, especially during childhood, that when you have passed into the dim future while looking back over memory's pages you shall and it one of the brightest. It is possible to make the humbest home so pleasant and attractive that it shall not only hold its own loved ones but draw others into its cheerful circle. But whose home is it that is happy? Is it his who has thousands of dollars at his command, whose walks are lined with exquisite pictures and rooms furnished like a palace? It may be a very happy home, but is it wholly the money, the pictures or the costly furniture that make it so? No. These may add to the enjoyment of the heart but they are not indispensable to happiness. It does not require wealth to make happiness, yet happiness is worth. Riches may purchase love. PATIENCE BY SARAH CROWTHER Of all the beautiful characteristics which the most happy and feeble efforts that could well be imagined and was most warmly received. Mr. C.W. Moore, Principal of the School, delivered the diplomas to the graduates, prefacing the ceremony with a few well chosen words. After the exercises were concluded the young people and some of the old people, too, lauded right heartily until long after midnight. The essays read by the graduates are here given. Among the trials of life, we are often asked by weakness circumstances, former like occasion that sting us, and swarms of buzzing tractors and bestlike disturbances that come and stay, droning their monotonous noise until our feelings are so wrought upon that we are ready to shrink from nervousness. Then it is that patience comes to the rescue, and we contemplate with calmness, with equanimity, and it may be with good nature, semitruthous indifference, what had almost overturned the stability of our resolutions. Patience has its varied expressions as do all great virtues. They are like individuals, and they have their excelses and at different times they are revealed in a different fashion. There are tribes in life when the road that leads to success must be paved with waiting. Thus waiting tries the very fibre of courage, but those who know how to wait know how to win. Patience gives them that grand quality—perseverance, which leads them to tell up gravelly, slow but sure, to the desired point. Those who possess the patience to persevere in all their undertakings need not be surprised to find themselves at some future day, in this "Grand Castle of Success." But, not only has patience the element of waiting lost also that of endurance. Half the possible bravery in the bravest of this world is seen in endurance, but while endurance may not be called the soul of patience, it might be called the body of it—a body too that is stout, compact and sinewed. The wrist said that "Charity endures all things" and if love cannot be patient, how shall we call it love? The history of the world tells of persons enduring separation, dungeons, and even death; for love's sake, and with such patience and fortitude as would seem to us almost supernatural. There is nothing under heaven so patient as love as is such by us every day in those who have patience is also the greatest test of the three tastes: faith. A stone may be patient, but the Christian ought to be both patient and resigned. He knows that the trials and sorrows when are sent to him are for some good purpose. He is in God's hands and all His ways are mercy; and if he permit sorrow or trouble, instillure or bereavement to darken the home, it is that He may open the way for brighter sunbeams to enter. In the bitterest cup that is placed to the lips will be found sweetness at last. He knows what is in its and will see that no good is lost; no true source of happiness destroyed. If we be patient, submissive and self denyng, He will surely make our sunshine in an unbounded sky, and our peace to flow as a river. There is no quality more needed than patience in helping to soften these sorrows of the world; nor is there a quality more to be prized or more in need of cultivation. It might almost be called an art; for patience is greatly assisted by our way of looking at things. In the end it brings cheerfulness and joy to old sunshine in all dark so pleasant and attractive that it shall not only hold its own loved ones but draw others into its cheerful circle. But whose home is it that is happy? Is it his who has thousands of dollars at his command, whose walks are lined with exquisite pictures, and rooms furnished like a palace? It may be a very happy home, but is it wholly the money, the pictures or the costly furniture that make it so? No. These may add to the enjoyment of the heart but they are not indispensable to happiness. It does not require wealth to make happiness, yet happiness is wealth. Riches may purchase luxuries but they can never buy that sacred atmosphere of love that surrounds every happy home. He, whose home is humble, consisting perhaps of only two or three rooms with its bare floor and scanty furniture, may be as happy as the man of wealth, for there are so many different ways of making home pleasant, especially in the evening after all have gathered around the fireside, each contributing his share toward making the evenings what they should be in every happy home, where the simplest ballad sounds sweeter than the finest opera in a stranger's land. Many a young man who has left the home of his childhood and gone out into the world to seek a home for himself has been saved from a life of darkness and rescued from evil companions by the kindness of some friend who has a happy home of his own, and who is willing to throw its mantle of sacred influence around the homeless wanderer. But few know how to fully appreciate all the blessings of their home until after they have left it; maybe for only a short time and perhaps for ever. How the hearts of those who have the opportunity of returning will thrill at the very thought of going home, to stay perhaps for only a few days at a time. "Home sweet home; be it ever so humble there's no place like home." LIFE. BY SOPHIA RIMPAU. The book of nature, whose pages are opened to the eager student, closes at the chapter on life, and is sealed with a seal bearing Patience, as I said before, in regard to the social world is more than an ornament. How? We are there compelled to meet and mingle with people having different views and opinions from our own. We see envy, jealousy, selfishness, power and money triumph within the power of all to labor both with the head and the hands, and uniting the two seems most conducive to a happy life. Life as a whole is so dependent upon its parts that the best philosophy is to perform whatever fails in the way, however insignificant it may appear. If all the parts are well performed the whole will be a symmetrical and perfect structure. PATIENCE. BY SARAH CROWTHER. Of all the beautiful characteristics which adorn human nature, there is not one more beautiful than that of patience; nor is there a quality that is more essential, of more service, or more tested amid the ups and downs of life. In the household it is indispensable, in the social world more than an ornament, while in relation to personal success and failure, it is more than a single virtue—it is philosophy. Halt of the many trials, worries and annoyances which seem to crowd on all sides in life, would appear small if only viewed in the right light; but the trouble is, we think and care too much about them, making them appear larger than they really are. Did you ever hear anyone, while taking a pleasant walk in the country, grumble on account of the inevitable pebbles found in his path? Do you suppose that if he should keep his eyes directed constantly toward his path in order to avoid these pebbles, that he would find pleasure in his walk, or time to contemplate the beauties of nature found all around? Our pathway in life may be compared to this path. The petty trials, vexations and worries are the pebbles, which so often prove stumbling blocks to our feet, and at times exasperate us nearly beyond endurance. Patience is required at every turn and crook of this path, to give us strength and courage to meet and conquer the pebbles, and cause them to assume their true importance.

GAZETTE. JUNE 30, 1883. NO. 38 A HUMAN TREE The Body of an Old Minister Orowa Into a Mulberry Bush. From the Palladium Press In the private cemetery, adjoining the Academy of Natural Sciences, almost hidden by the tall, green grass, and covered with moss, there stangle the stump of what was once a flourishing mulberry tree. It this stump could speak it would unfold a most wonderful tale of transmigration, not of the spiritual but of the physical kind. For the tree, of which the stump is a melancholy rehe, found its birth in a human death, and flourished and grew upon a diet of blood and bones, and coffin boards, like the famous tree that sprang from the grave of Roger Williams. Linked with the history of this stump there is another history, equally curious, which concerns two churches, one long since torn down and forgotten, the other now standing in a fashionable quarter of the city. Away back in the beginning of the present century, before steamships were even thought of, Mrs. Agnes Donacan, a good Scotch dame, of noble birth, set sail on a stout ship for the infant republic. When immortal the elements set up a terrestrial hub, the rain came down in torrents; the waves rolled mountain high, and the superstitious Scotch dame, failing upon her knees, prayed for delivery, vowing to return for this boon from merciful providence, to build and endow a church when she should reach dry land. She arrived in Piglestone, and by her direction, a frame church was built on Thirteenth street, on the West side, half Matters and Things at the Hub. Boston, June 16, 1883. Ed. Gazette — To one who has been roused by the midnight fire alarms, the Boston fire department is a subject full of interest. Until the terrible conflagration of 1872, Boston had rested on a false security. People who are steady going and matter-of-fact are not always the wisest in times of disaster, and rich men slept on peacefully through the sound of alarms, never dreaming that they would be beggars at dawn. At present the Boston fire department is complete and systematic, so that from the time the alarm is given until a stream is playing upon the flame used not be more than five minutes. The suspended harness is used and the horses kept in such constant training that they are ready in the twinkling of an eye. An amusing circumstance occurred the other day which illustrates what enthusiastic firemen they are. An aged beaucephalus whose health was sadly impaired by reason of rheumatism was sold to a respectable furniture dealer, a man not given to false show or unnecessary excitement. His wagon loaded to about half its capacity, was standing in front of his store while he struggled to bring a beelunge to the pavement. Imagine his amazement and disgust on looking up to see a fire engine discharging by and close in its wake his own infirm quadruped, while the furniture, entering into the spirit of the occasion, performed a wild hilarious dance. The enthusiastic equine made no pauses till he reached the scene of action, where he backed up to the hydrant and stood the picture of duty performed under difficulties. A Blessing in Disguise" 184 Adelphis St., Brooklyn, N.Y. March 29, 1881 No family should be without Allock's Porous Plaster; their healing powers are wonderful and their efficiency for reaching and lasting. For years past I have seen and known them to cure and achieve the most destinate and distressing cases of rheumatism, kidney complaints, bronchitis, necrosis, lumbago inflammation of the lungs, and throat paralysis, asthma, spinal weakness, and coughs and colds. In my own save they have afflicted me almost instant and permanent relief. My friends consider them an invaluable and speedy remedy for all kinds of aches and pains. They are a blessing in disguise; and no wife or mother should be saddened by them if she values her peace and comfort and freedom from nervous exhaustion, and other ailments. As a strengthening plaster, also for backaches and weaknesses, they have no equal. I have never found a plaster so efficacious and stimulating, or to give so much general satisfaction. Based in connection with Branworth's universal life-giving and life-healing Pilots, no one need deeppair of a speedy restoration to good sound health. MRS. E. TOMPKINS One Trial. One Trial. If you have been using other Plasters one trial of Attock Ponors will convince you of their wonderful superiority. Take no other so-called porous plasters that claim to be better, they are all frauds gotten up to sell on the world wide reputation of the genuine article. Clara Rolls says some of the black stockings are furnished with padding. It is thin as gossamer at the ankles, but thickens upward, so that in effect it is padding. When made to order it is graduated to the special requirements. Often it has a bulk that has heretofore been obtainable only by degradation. An Oasis in the Desert of Corrupt Management. Next to prevention noting is so desirable as cure. Never was prevention better amplified than it is at the Eastern Penitentiary. So exceptionally excellent is the management in regard to health that of the 1032 prisoners there incarcerated not three are in the hospital. If humanity in general were as careful of itself that painful evil—itching piles—would not be so prevalent, and there would be no necessity for the manufacture of Swayne's Ointment, the only cure for this itching and stinging disease—Philadelphia Ledger. Colorless women should wear no blue save the very dark, shunning the electric and colored shades—Pasion Journal. That's all right. Now tell us what a colored woman ought to wear. A Sufferer from Rheumatism. I limped about for years with a case, and could not bend down without exorciating pain. Parker’s Ginger Toole effected an astonishing cure and keeps me well. It is insufficible. M. Guilloyle, Binghamton, N.W.
