medium between undue excitement and cold formalism. As he
returns from year to year, he rejoices to find the converts of earlier
years holding on their way with faith and a stable Christian life. Our
readers will be interested to read the sketch which Mr. Wharton gives
of his labors.

OLD SPANISH DOLLARS.

A friend sends, with the following brief note, two Spanish dollars of
ancient date. We hope that some lovers of ancient coin will be able to
make a good offer for them:

"I send you by express two old Spanish silver dollars of date 1786 and
1800, for the work of the American Missionary Association. They belong
to my wife, who has had them a long time and now thinks they had
better be sent out to help in the Lord's work through the American
Missionary Association. Our hope is, that some lover of the great and
good cause, who has also a fancy for old and rare coins, may appear,
who would pay a liberal premium for them. If such should be the case,
we would be much gratified to be informed as to how much they bring to
the work."

was less than that of the two previous years, the average attendance
has been better than before, larger numbers having continued until the
close. The year has been marked by specialty good work on the
students' part, only one having failed of promotion. It has been a
notable year also in the religious development of many. One only of
the Normal Department is not now a professing Christian, and at the
farewell prayer-meeting he expressed the earnest desire soon to become
one. In the new Theological Department nine have been enrolled. The
prospect for next year is that this feature of the work will be
largely developed. The new College Preparatory Department has made a
most successful beginning, seven having been enrolled and having done
good work. The past year has also been notable in the industrial
departments. Great attention has always been given to these, though in
the girls' industries, especially, the facilities have been
exceedingly inadequate. During the year, Berkshire Cottage, the girls'
industrial building, has been complete
