The members of the Reading Room, who were not at the same time debaters, as they should have been, had, had the privilege of attending the exercises of the debaters, under condition, that they should deliver a declamation, perhaps every five or six weeks. This dispirited the members of the debating club, who saw that they had to labor hard for the entertainment of others, with no other recompense than a half understood and quarter learned, nonsensical piece, delivered by declaimers, as wanting in power and earnestness, as their selections were in good taste.

This abnormal state of affairs kept many of the brightest and most promising members of the Reading Room out of the debating society, because they were fully content with hearing good speeches delivered, whilst they themselves had prairies of Kansas.

This was also the reason, why such a strenuous opposition was offered to the President when he made known his intention to remedy the evil, by parting the two bodies and by giving them seperate names and Constitutions. The so called "Declaimers" of the primitive Philalethie opposed this measure with might and mam but they had to yield, to secure the welfare of the New Philalethie, built upon the ruins of the whence he admired the gorgeous scenery, by which he is encompassed. At last he is overawed by the solemn silence and grandeur of this sancturary of nature; he feels that God is present, and he bows down in adoring reverence before Him, for whom every act of his life was performed. The shades of night were fast shrouding all nature, when the weary wonderer raised himself up again, and, bis face beaming with a supernatural light, he bound himself before his Creator to labor in that place for the salvation, and civ-lization of the poor and ignorant savage inhabitants. This man was Father Maurice Gailland of the Society of Jesus, the renowned and selfsacrificing missionary of the Pt-tawatomies.

He kept his pledge well and sacredly for soon after were the praises of the Almighty echoed through these wilds by multitudes of these untutored sons of nature. This rapid and wonderful conversion made the foundations of schools necessary other Fathers and Brothers of the Society of Jesus followed the zealous missionary, while immigrants poured in from tbe Eastern States. A flourishing colony rose up in the depths of a boundless wilderness, and in its midst there soon bloomed a precious flower, a Jesuit school. It was intended chiefly for the Indians but the children of the white settlers had the K- T. U.

Shields, members of the Philalethie declined the honor of affiliation into the Addisonian, and the old evil lingered until a bold master stroke, delivered by the greatest friend of the Philalethie, remedied it most effectually.

This year presents us with the best proofs of the salutary effect of that change; whilst, before, the members were often reluctant to perform the exercises, which it was their duty to present, they now assemble eagerly to give a proof to the whole College, how much they have the interest of the Society at heart. Moreover the conduct of all the members this year is bo widely different from that of' last year's, that a comparison can not be attempted. Some of the latter, prompted by a foolish feeling of ambition and of Young-American independence, opposed the partition of the Society and when they saw that the act was accomplished in spite of their protests, they thought it proper to raise up every obstacle they could to the steady progress of the young PhUalethics; consequently jealousy and ill feeling embittered the latter half of the last scholastic year. This year, the conduct of the members is much more gentlemanly and unanimity prevails the disquiters of last year have not returned, or those who have, have been converted and now concur heartily with th? majority. Thus this society has firmly withstood the storm, which threatened to overwhelm it in its early youth, and new lustre and glory accrue to it at every sitting.

From the variety of objects, which are the number of Indian students diminished, whilst the white element increased, until at length the former became almost a cipher. At this period another era opened for St. Mary's. The spirits of the students were raised to a high pitch, when one of the teachers established a debating Society and in connection with it a Reading Room. The passion of the students for exercise on this new field and the developement of their noble powers, especially that of oratory, is evident from the grand array of names, which the records of the Society present to us, as constituting the number of members, present at the first meeting.

Every encouragement that could be desired, was given to the young Society by the Superiors of St. Mary's College every year it rose higher in the estimation of all, who were in any way connected with it, and even totally disinterested persons were glad to hear of the progress made by the youthful aspirants. But there was in the very heart of the Society some hidden element, which impeded its more rapid progress. The members did not know what the cause of the evil was; perhaps the President of the Society at fVm. Hard ten, BiBBSi tm bub sassssa, St- Marys, Kansas.

Washington are among the prominent young men of Belvue, and we would regret to see them leave us. Some sneaking thieves entered Mr. Washington's house on Wednesday evening, April 17th. Mrs. Taylor heard him or them asking who they were and what they wanted.

Her questions were not answered but the parties left in a kiud of a hurrying way. They did not have time to gobble anything, but tore down two or three of the parlor curtains, by the window which they entered. J. C.

Worthing's, we all seemed to be in the right mood talking, cracking jokes, and various other means of enjoyment were characteristic of the time spent, both going to and coming from the festive place, and when we arrived, notbi rg was wanting to make all pleasant and comfortable. Our stay was not only what we expected, but more than we expected. Soeiibility and good cheer beamed from every countenance.

If such are the fruits produced and the glories acquired by this Society in its early youth, what and how great are not its future prospects! Would it be presumption tm look forward to the day as already close at hand when the most renowned orator of the United State Senate, or the most distiguished pleader before the Supreme Court, wiU proudly show the badge of the Philalethie Society, and with an enthusiastic remembe ranee of his happy College days, pronounce this Society as the school of his oratory? No it deed 1 And it were no woudsr if before the lapse that time did not divine it at all events, though the Society advanced, its motion was necessarily slowr on account of the heavy burden under which it labored.

But the time for liberation was near. After suffering for several years, the society was releaved of its load. Another man was entrusted with the office of President, a prudent and energetic man. He sa7 at once where the obstacle to tbe progress of the Society lay; still the remedying of the evil had to be undertaken with caution and discretion the order of the Society had to be overturned and a complete T.
