+ society is the happiness of the indi- Salatatory of J. D. Allen. Before the | Kentucky Military institute. pleasure we ¢ : audience of combined intelligence and beauty, assembled to witness the close of this, the thirty-eighth annual session of this honor In- stitution— ing by your pres- ence that acquiscence of our pro- ceedings, which shows the de feeling of concern and interest yo feel in the frail crafts leaving pc tor the first time, under sealed ders, tor an unknown shore, freight- | ed with human hopes and aspira- | tions. For nearly two score gy has that honored and time wo ner floated aloftin defiance ot all op- position over this Institution which has few equals and no superiors in the land. During all this time it has | never been under more able guid- | ance than at present,and we can but feel that Wwe are blessed above oth- ers in haying been permitted to complete our collegiate course un- | der the present Superintendent who | has not only been a teacher but a | father, a friend—ever applauding | and commending what to him seem- ed good, and censuring the evil. Like the eagle when she pushes her | little eaglet from its nest on the top | of the high mountain craig, and then | darts beneath to bear it up lest 5 | chance its tender pinions give way and it be hurled upon the jugged rocks at the bottom of the chasm: thus for three years he has born us up, strengthening our pinions by | use—and now he hids us soar away beyond the weaty waste of human | lite where so many sink exhausted, because they attempted the journey or- | before they were prepared. And now, fellow classmates, this day | closes our collegiate course. We must resolutely turn our backs upon our Alma-Mater, which has been an assylum of peace and quiet tous, and boldly face the stern realities of life. We need not expect to meet success at every step. Dark clouds | will hover over our heads at times, | and life will seem gloomy in the ex- } treme, but we must remember that by opposition only is that charac- ter formed which is indomnitable in trying ordeals and which is the only firm basis for true manhood. Historians boast and poets sing of the glories of the age, of the rapid strides society is making toward ts own perfection. Where before’ in- dividuals bowed to the yoke of an- | archy and obeyed, without question, the mandates of a tyrant who could throw them into the most blooded | and devastating wars on the slight- | est provocation, now they are gov- | | | | H | erned by reason and Wisdom. No shall the raven’s croak he above the mouldering heaps of slain, sacrifice to the avarice and | whims ot one man, nor the captive’s | deathwail resound, butchered to make a Roman Holiday. The in- dividual of to-day glories in the | knowledge that he n express his thoughts and convictions without fear of hindrance, and is willing to concede justice to his fellow man. In advancement ot art and learning | we tower high above any preceding age. Every village has its Cicero and every hamlet its Cato. The ayarice of man begrudged the _hid- den depths of ocean her wealth; he | diyes into the bowels of mother | earth and brings torth he: riches, and does not even scruple to grap- ple with the elements and. explore } heaven and hell in his vast researches | tor knowledge. Science and_phil- | osophy go hand in hand as twin sis- | ters, where before scholastic pedant- | ty had hindered growth of philoso- phy, now the flood-gates have been | lifted by tree. thought and the flood pouring through has buried in obliv- ion all the pedantic and ignorant } who dared oppose its passage. j Thrones were swept away; king- doms revolutionized, and-even the} great Pope at Rome, who cauld do no wrong and had the power ot de- posing kings and princes, felt. the stays of his throne giving away © un- der the mghty pressure of this pow- erful influence. ; Now, the perfection of an more heard { 1 i ideal | vidual, and the question naturally arises, is the individual of to-day, surrounded by all the- advantages and comforts of this enlightened.| woul age, any happier than he of 2 thou- sand years ago, when individual prowess was the goyernment, every man’s castle was his kingdom and. he a ruling monarch, he knew no law but his own wishes, acknowl- edged no superior, and owed featly alone to an unknown God. In wan- dering tribes they besought natare for subsistence and were treed from the anxieties and troubles which at- tend the individual of the present day in quest of food. Do not/ new obstacles arise to confront us? and inthe same ratio as. they, are overcome.

The age produced ht. ot not be its exceptions in the old philoso- phers, Aristotle, Cato and others, | who explored the vast wilderness of th idand brought to light riche of intestimable value—truths which have stood the test yond which no pl succeeding age hardly conceive t these men so tar ec losophers ot any e gone. W at the minds of ipsed all others jot thatage in the vast stores of| ment were swept knowledge they contained. Let us go farther back for a first cause— back even to a clear mind springing fresh from nature’s womb, a mind not corrupted by an expulsion from a Paradise, which in_ its freshness and power§ could look far into the future and hold in its mighty grasp all the thoughts and conceptions of every futwre generation; could think that which the philosophers of the past and present generation have failed to reacli, tor which they have ever striven and toiled, confident from that mward something which they had inherited from their ances- tors that there was an above and beyond where they could not go. The first man, with closed exter- nal eyes, had directed his mental vision in upon the ‘little kmgdom within herse!f and found it peopled with thoughts; feelings and emo- tions} go ned according to law and order; each department work- ing to and in harmony with an ideal character, such as we can conceive of inthe most boundless flights of our imagination—little lower than the great Designer hiinself. One ot the sage philosophers who we ad- mire so much, after spending a hfe- time in accumulatiug these grand truths which have come down te us like a revelation, said that he felt like a little child picking up peb- bles on the shore of a mighty ocean whose waters spread out in the mys- terious beyond, where he could not il craft. If our natures are not attuned. to} respond to the loveliness and beauty in nature, we cannot hope to draw the happiness from her overflowing fountain, free to all who are capa- ble of partaking. Deprive man of the organ of hearing and bring be- fore him the sweetest music ever struck trom animmortal harp by! angel hands, and the charms cannot sooth his soul—o: .et all the worlds that inhabit the vast expanse of space be hurled together in one mighty crash and the sound would not av on 1 from his lethargy. Take away: his eye sight, and though you could have the power to condense all ether which fills space into one black and impenetrable possible light trom the earth, and would be unconcious of the change from the magnificent hght of day to such cha- otic darkness. The most beautiful image that could be conceived of by him «as the most hideous monster that ever coiled its slimy folds along the bottom of the deep. So bring an uneducated man to the most magnificent feast ever presided over by amuse, at whose hospitable board and Genius had honored | seats on either side of the host, and he will be the most miserable wretch in the world. Man 1s a sensitive being, and as such is capable of the most intense suffering ane in order’to the deyelop- ment ot those sterling qualities and principles which are of divine ori- gin and which differentiatates ciyi- lizedaman from the savage, he must pass under the. rod of affliction and walk with. our Savior through the The sub- | limest ‘music ever struck from the | ni mortal | hands was played by the wife in her dispair and anguish#@s she’ poured the soul of the vi 1 starving a chord which.” vibrated | | cliffs and bow their tall heads to gather- | Shall we let it rest bere, satisfied | with our past attainments, or will | we use this asa stepping stone to ! grander results in the future?

Andes, who can face the fury of the | ‘cee it, soar through heaven’s unfathoma- | bie depth, folds it wings at night talls and quietly sinks to rest upon the mountam craig. But knows not the weight ot wearines, and nignt’s deepest dark- ness has no chains to bind his rush- ing pinions. Revolutions sweep over the earth hke troubled visions over the breast of dreaming sorrow. Cities rise and sink like bubbles on the water—fiery isles spring blazing from the ocean and go back to their mysterious caverns ;—mountains rear to heaven their bald and blackened the plains ;—-new empires rise, ing strength of hoary centuries, and rush down like the Alpine avalanche startling the nations ;—and the very stars, yon bright and shining bla- zonry of God, glitter awhile in their eternal depths and like the pleiadse, lovhest otf her train, shoot from their glorious spheres and pass away to darkness in the trackless void. Yet Time—Time, the tomb builder holds his — firm career, stern and pitiless, and amid the mights wrecks that strew his path to sit and muse like other conquerors upon the fearful ruin he has wrought. Then, our duty is not to speculate upon the possible great- ness by preparing the present gene- ration so they may take up the load where their fathers may lay 1t down. The age can not wait for the indi- vidual to go back to the beginning gineer must stand ready open the throttle valve and Iet the engine keep forward on its course with the same speed it already has under its present guidance. This great work is accomplished by edu- cation. Educate the youth so that instead of beginning where his father did fitty years before. ‘+A point which was yesterday invincible shall be our goal to-day, our point to-morrow.”’ Even now an appeal comes to us reminding us ot the ignorance and de- pravity existing under the very shad- ow of civilization. Human beings, made in the image of their God, with souls as valuable to the Crea- tor of all things as the soul of the most refined pious christian that | nightly bows at his family alter and pours his heart in praise and thank- tulness for the blessings bestowed upon him. reach that meridian ot dazzling brilhancy the present shaddowing portrays, while such a_ state of hu- man beings are allowed to grope in darkness of rgnorance and_ barpar- light their exits from this world, forever more in the bosom ot a Sa- vior, or one of woe. and despair where the wicked are punished for deeds done in the past. A very destructive cyclone passed nell, in Poweshiek county, nearly minder of the dark agé ‘of ignorance and superstition. The impulse ot society has.eyer been onward and | upward.
