tor of Arch Street Presbyterian Church, enters upon his new field of labor tomorrow. A young clergyman of acknowledged ability, he has a wide sphere of operation, and in a church well known, not only in this city, but throughout the country.

The Public Opinion (Chambersburg, Pa.) says: We notice among the recent graduates of Jefferson Medical College, the name of Robert M. Hays, A. B., son of the Rev. I. N. Hays, of this place. Doctor Hays is a graduate of Lafay ette College, and pursued his medical studies under the direction of Dr. T. J. McLanahan of this place. He is a young man of fine abilities, studious, persevering and enthusiastic in his profession. We. wish him success as a practitioner, feeling assured that if the opportunity is given him he will merit it. In an address read before the Historical Society of Pennsylvania by Gen. Davis of Doylestown, on reading a history of the Presbyterian churches of Deep Run and Doylestown, the writer pays a glowing tribute to their pastor Dr. Silas M.

MISCELLANEOUS. The ladies in Vassar College, one day last week, consumed twenty-two bushels of Oranges. A Freshman says that the best champagne (sham pain) he knows, is when a girl screams when a fellow kisses her.-Tablet. "A Sophomore says he cannot understand how any one possessing what is usually known as a conscience can counterfeit a five-cent piece, and put on the back of it 'In God we trust."" President Elliot, of Harvard College, is in Europe, one object of his trip being to endeavor to secure a suitable successor to Prof. Agassiz. The latest device for arousing paternal sympathy, is to send a mourning envelope enclosing the pathetic announcement that you are "dead broke." 46 A Fresh. recently gave his idea of a liberal translation of Galla est meaShe's my gal.' Vassar Instructress: Miss A., give an example of a doubtful affirmative. Miss A. (innocently): “Ask papa." Dr. Schmitt, of the University of Athens, has completed a map of the moon, on which he has been at work for thirty-four years. The President of Cornell University states that, as a rule, young women at that institution average ten per cent. better on their papers than the young men." The worthy President probably had reference to their curl-papers. 66 'Please translate into German, John, be silent,' Mr. W." "Yes, sir. What does be silent' mean? I have forgotten it." "It is 'schweig"" responded the professor. Well, now," concluded the senior, "tell me the Dutch for John, and I will give vou the whole thing." Senator Sumner gave to the library of Harvard College from which he graduated, his own library and half of his fortune. At one of the clubs in Michigan University, the death of Charles Sumner was the topic of conversation. An admirer of the deceased stateman had dwelt quite pathetically upon his nobility of heart and purpose, and closed with quoting his last words: "Tell Emerson I love and revere him." The silence which succeeded was at length broken by one further down the table. "Emerson," said he, ". was that blood-thirsty South Carolinian who assaulted him' wasn't he? Such a spirit of forgiveness is divine.” (Successor to DATESMAN & ANGLE,) ash Merchant Tailoring and Clothing Emporium, Jash No. 237 NORTHAMPTON STREET, EASTON, PENN'A, Between Second and Third Streets, Has constantly on hand the largest assortment of PIECE GOODS in Easton.

Boys and young men often find it hard not to run beyond the olives. Of course this is an evil. But it is so natural and inevitable, and so very common, that men have come to look on it as a matter of course and to hold back their contempt and censure, except when the thing gone to excess, gives such emphasis to the excess as demands disapproval and reprobation. Excess in generosity is a much more amiable fault than excess in eating. The first suggests a rare bird whose fault is pardoned, even though he clips his wings and goes to ruin. The glutton is a foul bird-belongs to a large family-is utterly and hopelessly unconscious of the low and degraded position to which he is assigned in the race of birds. If young men would choose good things and eschew bad things in the matter of excess, it would be a much less evil. But election is difficult. There is apt to be a blind, indiscriminate rush. Safety lies only in no excess at all- —a thing always to be pressed forward to, though it may never be reached. The glory of a young man is his strength.
